Just chairs in the stationary blinds. Pretty much everything in the mobile blind.

Not much, I generally hunt brushed in places along trails etc. The one box blind I have used to have paper towels, window cleaner and paper wasps in it. I have not looked inside of it in a couple of years even though I see it every day.

Chairs and a couple bottles of water. I hunt out of box blinds with no closeable windows or lockable door. It has worked so far...

I have put a lot of thought into what I keep in the blind. I always make sure I have a few dirt dauber nests, a couple of spiders, some old leaves just in case, a pen for writing on the walls, a few nails and screws sticking into the blind from the outside, and I always make sure my chair is worn out and won't work right. It just wouldn't be the same without all those.

I only have one box blind right now and only keep TP in it. If I know I'll be hunting it for a few days I'll leave a bottle of water in it. My other spots are tripod or pop ups and I bring what I'll need.

Don't really hunt out of blinds these days, but I did when I was young. Dad always had TP for nature calls and stuffed noses, water, pee bottles (one for each of us), heater, hearing protection, chairs, a lighter, and some wasp spray.

My son is getting older, so I'll have to build a box blind in the next few years most likely. I gotta admit, I'm pretty excited about all the new stuff that's out in regards to solar panels, etc. I'm gonna have some fun.

I also keep some cough drops in the blind. Pretty valuable when I have deer close and need to suppress coughs.

I hunt out of 5 blinds so there is nothing I keep in them except for a small propane heater for the big blinds. Everything else I need is in my backpack. Of course each blind has a chair!

A quiet battery operated D cell fan for hot weather, gallon of water, paper towels, soft chair, and a small sandbag is all I have in the deer blind. If I need extra winter gear to warm my sacks in 20 degree weather, then I'll bring a blanket but I wear underwarmers, head warmers, heavy jacket and gloves before I get in the blind.

Well, I think a squirrel caused them to scream like girls and Joe had an asthma attack so they couldn't run the heater.
