1. A portable chair, comprising:
a sealable plastic bucket including a lid;
an insulated fabric sheath comprising a bottom panel and an annular wall panel cooperating to form a cavity to receive the bucket,
a seat portion pivotably coupleable to the lid of the bucket, the seat portion comprising a rigid panel including a centrally located threaded aperture, a seat pad, and a fabric panel at least partially enveloping the seat pad coupled to the rigid panel, wherein a threaded fastener passes through an aperture defined in the lid of the bucket for receipt in the threaded aperture of the rigid panel, thereby enabling the seat portion to pivot relative to the lid of the bucket;
a pair of shoulder straps operably coupled between an upper perimeter of the annular wall and a lower portion of the annular wall;
an adjustable length padded hip belt selectively coupleable to the annular wall panel via one or more fasteners, wherein the padded hip belt comprises a first pair of telescoping pole receiving pockets, each of the first pair of telescoping pole receiving pockets including a first telescoping pole receiving panel having a surface positioned against an exterior surface of the padded hip belt, and a second telescoping pole receiving panel operably coupled to the exterior surface of the padded hip belt about at least a portion of its peripheral edge to define each of the first pair telescoping pole receiving pockets;
a second pair of telescoping pole receiving pockets operably coupled to the annular wall, each of the pair of second telescoping pole receiving pockets including a first telescoping pole receiving panel having a surface positioned against an exterior surface of the annular wall, and a second telescoping pole receiving panel operably coupled to the exterior surface of the annular wall about at least a portion of a peripheral edge of the second telescoping pole receiving panel to define the second pair of telescoping pole receiving pockets; and
a pair of rigid telescoping poles, each of the pair of rigid telescoping poles including a first member and a second member selectively coupleable together in at least one of an extended configuration and a storage configuration via a spring biased bayonet pin coupling,
wherein the portable chair is transitionable from a first position in which the adjustable length padded hip belt is coupled to the annular wall panel via the one or more fasteners and the pair of rigid telescoping poles are in the storage configuration positioned within the second pair of telescoping pole receiving pockets, to a second configuration in which the pair of rigid telescoping pools are extended to the extended configuration, and the adjustable length padded hip belt is decoupled from the annular wall panel, and the ends of the respective pair of rigid telescoping poles are positioned within the first pair of telescoping pole receiving pockets.
