Blinds

Have any of you guys made your own blinds? I am thinking about whether to buy a ready-made blind or experiment a bit with making one myself. I would be interested to hear/see pics of any blinds you all use and how you rate them. Thanks.

I can't give you any experience info...but I was considering using a blind myself.

Look at this. Setup here.

Buy it at Cabela's.

Thanks Ric. I had been looking at similar ones online. That one is very cheap though! Thanks

I will probably buy one eventually, but in the meantime will try and make some kind of makeshift blind to tide me over. Any home-made varieties out there anyone?

Rics advice is solid [same one I was looking at ] but look at the different blinds that Cabela has [it is a lot ] you need to know how you would use it and were ?? 2 people ?? sit down ?? color ?? are you going to travel with it ?? carry it with you on long walks oh just buy that one and when are are sitting think this stuff over

I went to the new Cabela's in Hoffman Estates this morning. I bought the pop-up one that two can sit in and matching camo chairs. $160 for the blind which is similar to a pole tent but opens like an umbrella...very cool! $30 each for the chairs...which are the kind that you fold like a pair of scissors and bag it. Both are very well made.

Oh...and I bought some cushions for the tushes!

There was one very neat one that was a chair with a pull-over blind for $80. Great for one!

Thanks Jeff and Ric. Unfortunately, no-one that I know of in Hiroshima stocks them at all (or at least I don't know where to look for who might!). So I can't really look at them. Will browse that site a bit more. Cheers.

So Ric, have you had a chance to use it yet? Any first thoughts or impressions? Pics?
