- This is my bothers custom built deer blind. It sits 16ft in the air! Some of the ideas put into this deer blind will blow you away and others you may hate. Many people have said they do not like the 16ft tall ladder but his idea is that if you cant climb up there then you should not be hunting in his blind.

Just built mine 16ft tall 8x10, 3x8 deck on the front, pvc pipe that goes from the inside corner of the blind down to the stream right next to the blind, inside has 4 folding benches for beds and sniper benches, sliding windows with one way camo tint. all spray foam insulated tin roofing on the outside and plywood inside. Has a electric heater for when we sleep out there and coyote hunting. I insulated the floor and doubled the carpet pad and doubled the carpet up so it's quiet moving around and if you drop something. I also have solar panel on the roof with a battery pack set up to power the heater, charge phones, a light and the spotlights for coyote season. Just finished it this October and have used it for deer hunting 15 x!
Nice video and great stand and description of everything!!
Always a thumbs up for you! Nice blind, thanks for sharing! That ladder does look a bit scary! Glad you made it up and down!
mark pro it’s a little bit straight up that’s for sure, thanks for checking in
Absolutely one of the best looking I’ve EVER seen and LOVE the height!!! Man I love it!!!!👍🦌🦌🦌
Love the shelf
Love the blind review. Full-watch.👍🏽🙂.
Thanks for stopping by and watching. Im happy it was ok for ya. One more new review for big brothers new blind comn in weeks to come
Awesome Stand 100% Brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😀
That is one fine shooting house. We hunt in south Alabama and it could be looking over a clear cut or a patch with pine plantations but the set up is the same. Love the bells and whistles on this house. Great job and makes long sits much easier during the cold days.
I would have a safety rope attached to my harness for going up and down that ladder. We started using safety ropes on our climbing stands too. We have gotten to old and don’t bounce like we once did. Like you said....its the landing that kills you
Pat Hoffman nice to hear you are from Alabama I guess i never really think about the southern states for deer but that is really where the monster horns come from, thanks for checking out the channel
Damn fine video Sir. Nice blind.
Looks like a nice set up man.
Love the blind review, i'm planning to build a couple box blinds at my hunting camp , been watching any video I can find to get tips .
Keep up the great videos Charley , Definitely the sudden stop that hurts !
Tim'r ya everyone has there opinions on blinds that’s for sure
I have my build on i.g. I've been meaning to put it on my RUclips account but I suck at editing. I only have one video of my john deer 🚜 on tube . Im really happy with the way it came out. Im off Wednesday maybe Ill get my lazy butt going and post a video. I need RUclips video classes.... 😆
313 grower lol 313 I just blah blah blah as my son does all the editing so I’m very lucky
perfect for what we needed it for
I think I would put up a little railing on that landing just in case. Cool blind though.
Paul Mooney ya a railing and tilt the steps a little more imo
Yeah a railing for sure! Some heavy frost on that wood and it gets real slick! That's a long way up to be falling.
Nice blind. On my farm in Iowa, I replaced all vertical ladders on my elevated box blinds with stairs with rails on both sides. Have to look at the realities of aging and safety. My most comfortable elevated stand is a Semi Sleeper Cab that a friend gave me.
Lol on the sleeper cab, how many acres are you hunting in Iowa? I have saw some nice bucks there. I agree n the aging n safety
thanks for helping me with some tips for my blind
That’s awesome, send me a upgrade or two back lol
That's a great blind for sure.
Yes it is nice, I was up the ladder last weekend and it wasn’t as bad as it looked
The height helps with the scent factor ! Very nice ! I,ve never hunted from a studio appartment like that ?but i,m sure i could get use to it ! Lol
Definitely different, it IMO is hard to see close as your either looking down or out so it hurts ur neck
I am with Charlie, I too would prefer some pitch to that ladder. Watching your video gave me an idea for how I can modify my windows in my box blind. Right now they are just solid wood that hinge up and have to be open to see out. I think I will add Plexi glass to them so they can slide open or tilt the whole thing up out of the way like your brother's. It doesn't get that cold down her in southern IN but heat sure makes sitting and waiting a lot more enjoyable. Thanks for the video.
Adventures of the Memory Makers that great, I’m glad you got some great ideas
Make sure to get thick enough plexiglass that you don’t accidentally break the plexiglass later.... the blind I used to get my last deer was made by a friend’s dad, who went cheap on the plexiglass and bought the thinnest he could get, half the windows are already broke...
I have calls in my blind too and rattling bag. I don't blind call except during the rut 💘
Blind call with light rattling early early in the season it will change your life
Can probably see Lake Superior and Lake Michigan out of that blind lol great vid
Josh Makes Movies lol I think he need a beacon on top
Nice!!!!
Might as well build a Silo with spiralstair case inside. 3 story skyscraper deer blind. Guess he thought deer were giants or they had wings to fly. It's his gig looks AWESOME.
Great reviews I like to build everything, but still haven’t built a suspended blind
JB Outdoors I have built one before lol I think I will stick to buying them if I have my choice
He built/overbuilt that stand nicely, but I would of added a railing tot he platform so you get to the top, step to the side where you are surrounded by railing then open the door in front of the ladder so it swings to the right/ this way you could walk in from a safe position. you could go a step further having a rope or chain that closes the ladder opening.
With a ladder like that, you SHOULD have a fall arrester rope parallel to the ladder that you secure yourself to with a harness. This is a simple section of climbing rope, and some means of stopping a fall such as a prusik knot. If the rope is secured at both ends so it is just slightly loose, it will work fine with one hand.
As for the lift rope. I do similar. I can strap my rifle or crossbow (or compound bow) to my backpack, so I attach my rope to the backpack carry handle and lift both in one load. I will sometimes wear the backpack and weapon while climbing, but that is not entirely safe... then again hoisting a cocked crossbow unloaded is a good way to get a broken crossbow, so I do get lazy from time to time and strap it on so it is not banging around on its way up, or I just wait til I am in my stand to cock it (depends on circumstances).
That's cool. With a vertical ladder though, it would be cool to run the ladder underneath the blind, and have a trap door in the floor.
Trap door I would think takes up a lot of room
bet that rope is for the propane tank. outstanding creation! I'm a fan

Nice blind my fellow Michigan man. I’m putting up a raised blind this weekend
TheHeavyWrench nice what size ?
@@CharleyThePlumber 5x6 16ft high as well.
Ya I’m a lot lower in the state than you are. Kinda need it a bit bigger for me and the boy to hunt out of but it works well as far as size goes. I can’t wait to check out how much more I can see this year.
TheHeavyWrench ya it makes you feel like your watching over the whole piece
I bought 10 acres of land in Norther St. Paul about 1 1/2 hour north and I built 5 deer stand into with myself too.
That’s awesome hopefully you can fill the freezers for many years to come
Thanx for the tour. Ill be up this week looking at a few properties. - Staying at the Lakeshore Hotel. Someday soon I hope to be out in the fields.
Tommy Rommazontz there is a lady that contacted me her dad has 10 acres on F16 north of 2 with barn n cabin, only 250 wide n deep

Property and Cabin in Vanderbilt !!
@@brianb0326 thanks for watching
Nice blind..dont like the straight up steps now that I'm almost 60.and he certainly needs a rail up on that platform. But nice blind though.
That rope is for shaking antlers. It makes the sound lower to the ground rather than up in the air. As would be natural.
Basshead Curry good call I didn’t think of that, thanks for watchn don’t forget to give it a thumbs up n subscribe
Guys, hit that subscribe button! I am making a push to 1,000 Subscribers!
We hit that 1,000 subscriber mark! Let's go for 2,000!
That's pretty slick. Definitely one of the taller blinds I've seen. I'm with you...seems a little precarious climbing up that straight ladder to a platform with no railings or anything like that. I'm not a big fan of heights, so I'd have to incorporate some way to wear a safety harness or something for my own peace of mind, but more power to him!
I was up it last weekend and even with the bad ticker it wasn’t bad
Nice blind. Definitely need hand rail the ladder don't bother me but no hand rail does. To each his own just my two cents.
You bet on the rail, thanks for stopping by
Nice job. 1 question tho.. What is the height of your windows from floor to bottom sill?
I do not know off hand but next time I am up at Shady Acres I can take a look for you
Here in texas we have 20 footi have had a 30 foot
That’s awesome! 16 is already huge lol can’t imagine 20-30. I’d love to see a good video of those
Awesome blind! What county you in? I'm from and Hunt in Alpena county.
Eric Duranceau we hunt in Arenac county 75 acres

New drinking game take a shot every time he says anul
LOL i guess i get stuck on certain words, sometimes its hard to try and think on your feet but yes cheers to ya i'll have a shot. thanks for stopping by the channel and i hope ya get a chance to subscribe
Tell him redue the ladder for better go upstair than he deer stand will be good one
I have mentioned it but he tells me to stay out lol
How do you operate that door latch from the inside?
Hello Bob thanks for stopping by the channel I hope you get a chance to subscribe also there is a latch on the inside and the latch on the outside of the door they are not interconnected to latches thanks for watching
I can’t believe he didn’t put stairs in. That ladder looks like a tough climb being fully vertical. I’m sure its sturdy but that’s gotta be difficult to transition from the ladder to the platform and from the platform to the ladder. I’m too old for that stuff now. I like his windows.
I actually sat in this blind last weekend and it was very easy to climb and transition onto the deck as there is slots on the deck fr your fingers to hold on to, I’m not saying it didn’t make the Bhole pucker getting up n down. But the bro Will tell me to stay out lol
Super blind. How in the heck did you guys get it up?
Tractor with a bucket got it started
How do you build a box that high? Build in sections?
He assembled it at home originally, then took it apart and brought it up north in pieces then once in woods, reassembled then got it in the air with a tractor bucket
Like the blind but the height gave me the heebee jeebees! But, that is just me.
Lol you def can think about it when climbing up or down
I am in western UP. I built mine. Mine is similar, but 8 feet up, on a ridge. Mine is 6x5. Don't like his steps, also I use egg shell material on inside, to silence everything
As a plumber do you have the urge to install a bathroom and septic?
Urge to install one, I would say no. After 40 years of being a plumber I find myself closer to retirement and less the urge to do the work
I like the height, but I'm afraid the thing looks as unstable as Ye.
That ladder gonna get you . At least make it go past landing so you can step off right onto instead of crawling onto it. That is nuts.
You can tell stubborn carpenter nothing
I like be nice to have escalator. Not osha approved lol. Nice blind fun video. I'm in Fife Lake. Smashed your sub button. Check us out too. Good stuff enjoyed it
Thanks I appreciate you stopping by the channel, I will definitely swing back by the channel and check it out. I have been a sub for a while
Good video, but I am concerned. At the 13:40 mark you pan the surrounding area, and a building is quite clear to the left. That building appears to be within the 450' safety zone required for all firearm hunting. Is that a concern to you and/or your brother?
That is probably 450’ out there but also we do our rifle hunting in the UP most of the time and black powder my brother sits in a different seat
I wouldN't show that loop on that rope to Bubba Wallace you might get sued lol
It’s a freaking deer blind dude
Real hunters are outdoorsmen, and build..... girls from the city who are visitors to the woods only during hunting season are the people that buy...
IMHO
Hey Rick thanks for stopping by the channel I hope you get a chance to subscribe. You are definitely open to your own opinion
couple of things you need to think about with the Times today is lumber prices and not everyone is a perfect carpenter or they have the tools available
To build a blind or even have the help and strength to assemble it once it is built. I myself have done both currently I hunt out of a Menards Booner plastic blind and have for three years I have also built a wood blind that has been up and is usable for about 10 to 12 years. I believe they both have their pluses and minuses
thanks for watching
You say a lot of naughty words in this video. It’s 2023
He should have installed safety railings on the sides of the small deck and a hand hold railing at the top so makes it easier to get off and onto the ladder at the top. Think it alittle careless of him not installing that safety items. ESPECIALLY with kids never know who may try it and fall because of no safety railings. Only takes one time mistake that will end a life or cripple someone.
16 feet to platform and 20 feet tall-so the shooter squats in the blind? 🤓
Or a really short shooter 😁
muddy bull box blind. great blinds , pricey but nice.
I’ll have to look into that brand. I’m still on the hunt for exactly what I want lol
