That's not a blind.
That's a hunting cabin on stilts.
That you can hunt out of...GENIUS!!!

Yep, add some insulation for warmth and some carpet to quieten the foot steps and you are set.
All you need is WiFi...LOL!!

I remember sitting on the hard ground as a kid with a make shift blind, it was so uncomfortable that you couldn't be still. This is the way to hunt!!! Very cool!!!

nice set up you should definitely rig you up some 12volt power and solar panel, you could also go with a Dearborn heater on a 30# propane bottle how many square feet of living space

Here's a few pics. Walls as they were pre-fabricated in the garage. Definitely the way to go on a project of this size. Grandkids and daughter-inlaw did the camo paint job with spray cans. Would hate to have lugged and built all this off ladders. Using an ATV winch might not have been the way the Egyptians built the pyramids, but it worked pretty slick.

Electronic key pad has been nice. Beats keeping track of keys and such. Rubber livestock mats for the floor were perfect for sound deadening movement inside the blind, dampens any harmonics and vibrations.

Locating the blind among existing trees gives it almost a tree house appearance.

Thats a pretty awesome blind. All you need now is coffee maker and someone to invent a cool apparatus which would eliminate the smell smile

I build blinds for a living, I must say your blind is one of the best I have seen. The painted trees on the side are really great, wish I could could figure out how to do that. Great Job!

Painting the camo trees was quite easy....started with a dark brown spray cans for the trunk and limbs, holding the nozzle 2-3 inches away. Used a lighter colored aerosol paint to high light the trunk and limbs....shading gives it a 3 dimensional effect. We were pleasantly surprised at how well it breaks up the large walls and blends in with surrounding trees.
