If you can find a dead standing tree, cut off 4ft, then split it down the middle.
Depending on the width you might have to use both halfs to get a comfortable seat.
Its quik and easy & works well. Have done it with my hunting Bud in the sticks, who wants to sit on wet ground 
Use fresh roots to lash it together. Take 4 other sticks and pound them into the ground in a X pattern.
One at each and to support your logs.

Hmm looks interesting, I have been wanting to build a fireside bench for months, I have a design which I plan to try once it stops raining. I will post it if I make it

How would a guy make a table?
They're are really nice to have when outdoors because then you don't have to put everything on the ground

Hey turd, could you upload a scan of pages 330-331 in the Back to Basics book?
I can but it's a LOT of trouble.
It has a cool campstool.
