Default Making lay down blinds...

So it's my newest version.


Takes about 4.50 in materials
1 hour of time

Pretty sturdy and way more compact when your packing three blinds, three hunters, a dog and 60 decoys..


Gotta head to the hardware store for spray paint.

all I ever used for 20 years was brown burlap and throw straw over top and always shot my birds, this will work, nicely done. blinds are nice to keep all your crap inside and easier for us older folks to get up, not young anymore LOL!!!!!!!!

She started as just burlap.

But I needed to find a way to try and keep the grain and grass on her better.

Ammo bag and dog make a pretty good headrest.

Keep my gear under a big decoy right next to me.

Didn't work worth a darn.
