Sump pump that will run off a car battery or have to take a generator out there. Be nice if there was a creek or drop off close by that was lower than the bottom of the blind. Could trench you a line and put a pvc drain in it. Pour you a thin concrete floor!!! Hey you could even pee in it!!!!

Just be careful of snakes, I know of a ranch that has a pit blind and snakes are always in it. It did turn out nice.

Can't keep the snakes out! Just have to deal with them if they get in there I guess. Like mine in the air.

Removable screen on the windows will keep the snakes out. A 12volt deer feeder battery and a boat bilge pump will get any water out. Good hunting.

Very cool!
I have thought about building one, but it filling up with snakes, bugs, or water is what has stopped me.
Sure hope it doesn't kill any of those trees. Looks nice good luck!

Nate took my boy to look at and they chased a rat out so there's gonna be some critters get in it but who's afraid of a little snake or rat once in awhile I mean we are all grown men right, the dominant predators, the ones with the guns, walk on two legs, y'all really gonna let a little snake keep you from a prime hunting spot? Oh and now my boy thinks I'm building him one too.

If you have properly constructed a parapet around the blind to shed run off water there should be no problem with water/mud. A bucket mouse trap will remove the mice (use clorox instead of water) and therefore the snakes. Tell the critics to give it a rest - this is a great plan! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yC1XNDyxE4c

I am waiting to see the fruits of your labor!
