Great video. Thank you for taking the time to create this. As anyone who has seen the written instructions for the blind will know they are really bad. Your video took away all my confusion about how to do the assembly. I can't understand why they don't improve the instructions since almost everyone complains. Again, thanks
Hunting out of a elevated pop up blind cost me two of the better deer I have ever encountered during archery season. One was the downward angle and the other was a side angle. Slot windows are a must from an elevated position imo…
I built a 6 sided vertical window blind for under $1000 but i had a wood platform with soft sided blind on top for a season. It worked nice and mostly kept wind off us. If you add a little outdoor carpet on base or plywood it could make it more scent proof and warmer in winter. Great idea though. Those muddy blinds are outrageously priced!
I saw this blind at Sportsmens Warehouse. I thought how good could it be for that price? Seeing your video, it seems much better than I thought! I will order one now! Thanks!
We have used it for both and is a better window After we made this video we did more testing As a shooter we swapped sides and sat on the left Making the bow or rifle be in the center Worked a lot better and more comfortable
RUclips is full of ridiculous gimmicks, but that blind is slick. Might have to look into getting myself one or two at that price. Thanks for the video. The only thing "I" would do would be to loosely assemble it and spray some Great Stuff or equivalent spray foam for sound dampening. Remove one bolt at a time and spray a little Great Stuff (a quick little spray) and quickly insert the bolts and tight them up. It doesn't take a lot of spray foam, because anyone that has used Great Stuff or anything like that, knows that stuff expands fast. Sounds like overkill, but I do that to my ladder tree stands and climbing sticks. That's just me. I hate creaks or squeaks when on stand. Another commenter mentioned a carpet. That would also be beneficial for the reasons he mentioned. Thanks for letting me ramble.
We agree and with the pop up blind going to crap is still a minor issue compared to the price Take 3 minutes remove it and put it back in the bag Or replace it Both cheaper options then the permanent ones This is a budget option Not a forever lasting in the elements option
Seems to be fine, we had some high tornado warning winds here a few weeks ago and it's still standing. I would assume it would tear the ground blind off the top before it tips over
@@mrtcward so far seems great It’s just a standard pop up blind on top of a platform So water just runs off the top and down the sides I’m sure after a season or two it may wear and get some drips inside from heavy rain the the top is replaceable if it gets too bad

Again, thanks
Instructions were absolutely garbage
For sure
And no problem
Appreciate you making this video . Helped me put mine together. Good luck. And godspeed.
@@d.staten5954 no problem, we liked ours so much we might buy the bigger one they have which is 6 foot by 6 foot
Wondering if that blind will fade colors. If it doesnt fade or get holes, it would be perfect.. Thanks for sharing.
Ours has been up for a few months and no issues
We do expect it to fade and need replacement if left out
But the pop up blind is replaceable

@@richstafford1245 this one has corner windows and big center windows
But definitely agree with you

Agreed, and we might put that outdoor carpet in this one
We also might buy the bigger version

Definitely better then we expected as well
Anyone have a link to where they are in stock? They seem to be sold out just about everywhere.
Do y’all know how much the replaceable tent part cost alone?
$139

Great video.
Can the center window be used for rifle or archery? Or is it too high?
We have used it for both and is a better window
After we made this video we did more testing
As a shooter we swapped sides and sat on the left
Making the bow or rifle be in the center
Worked a lot better and more comfortable
is there a seat included?
@@rinacapper3514 no we bought the seat separately

Maybe we will try that
And for $300 you could put 3 up for under a thousand and have everyone hunting. Thanks for the video.
Unfortunately, if you do not remove the fabric of the blind it fades fast and then the holes start appearing. Other then that is is a great stand

We have 2 already and plan on ordering more
We are ordering a few more as well
Got one last season and for the price there’s nothing else close. Very pleased with it.
How does it handle high winds?
Seems to be fine, we had some high tornado warning winds here a few weeks ago and it's still standing. I would assume it would tear the ground blind off the top before it tips over
How is it as far as being waterproof ?
@@mrtcward so far seems great
It’s just a standard pop up blind on top of a platform
So water just runs off the top and down the sides
I’m sure after a season or two it may wear and get some drips inside from heavy rain the the top is replaceable if it gets too bad
Good deal. Ordered one last night!
Link to buy this at?
