Weight shouldn't be an issue as I dont weight that much but Ill make sure to check before I buy anything. Yes a laydown is cheaper and maybe be the best way to start out for me. Thanks for all the feed back every. Think I may be leaning more to a laydown.

looking at maybe this

In a beaver sled or something similar. Heck of a lot easier to pull that behind you with the decoys in it vs trying to just drag the decoys.

Well, I used the Ambush Kayak blind yesterday as a layout and now I have an honest review.

My fears came true with the doors. They are just entirely too floppy. They won't stay in place while you're trying to stay concealed and the worst part is that they hang in the water and end up collecting water inside of the material lining.
Also, I was extremely uncomfortable while trying to laydown. That is more against the kayak seat than the blind itself. But, most layout blinds have a frame or headrest of some sort. With this one, I was having to support my own head weight the whole time which did a number on my neck.

I still like the product as I won't really be using it as a layout 90% of the time anyways, I mostly bought it as a cover for the kayak so that I can blend it into the cattails or reeds where I'm hunting.

This hunt yesterday was in an open area that really dictated I use it as a layout. Long story short, It makes an excellent camo cover for the kayak. Albeit a rather expensive one.

We usually try to find hides that allow us to set up. I don't like laying down in my kayak either. The water on the doors doesn't seem to bother me. My preference is to use a mud seat when I can and store all my junk under the cover on the kayak or the sled.

That's my normal MO. And that is what I'll be using the blind for going forward.

mud seat is not bad. maybe I should look into that option first before buying a blind..? Never duck hunted before so I think I need scout a lot and see what I can use.
