Now there's a perfect example of "work smarter, not harder". Good video guys
I love this song
Goes to show ya that you don't need a degree from MIT for engineering. Just common sense & manpower. Well done guys and good thinking on the 4-wheeler anchor.
I think I'd camp in it when not hunting.
Do you have any blueprints?
Nice work! Here is one we put up: https://youtu.be/zAgDIZKu300

Glad to know I'm not the only crazy hunter out doing projects like this.
Sub for a sub I just subscribed
I see you said it was 14ft 4x4s, but what is the distance between the 4x4s on the ground level. I am planning on building an 8×8 with the EZ brackets, but with the angled offset (I think it is 7 degrees) I am not sure what the foot print would be at that height.
Just a suggestion for anyone trying this. Be sure to have REALLY strong stakes to prevent the legs from dragging. One of mine broke at 2 feet off the ground and the blind hit the ground sideways, luckily no major damage. Notice in this video how the one stake almost gave out , if it would have, it would have come crashing down. This method works but not with a come along if your blind is anything like this one. Good luck everyone and BE CAREFUL!! Thanks for posting
music is really creepy…. But cool video
I felt like I was watching drilling rig being raised
wow nice blind..
Thanks. I appreciate the info.
Would you post a video of you lowering your blind the next time you move it?
A few more questions. I'm doing mine this weekend. Did you set the 4×4 post on concrete pads? Have you had any rot issues? How long has it been out there?
Nice job, hat's off to you for having the balls!
how long are those 4×4's? nice job raising that sucker…will be doing that in a couple weeks.
What weight were your brackets rated for? Mine say 1000pounds but I figure my stand is close to that without anyone in it.
Is the stand 1000 pounds on 4x4s?
Good deal, thanks for sharing.
I hope u concreted the legs…
What were you using to pull it up? I need to do the same thing and was thinking about using an ATV winch.
I felt like I needed to stand and applaud at the end. Nice job!
Nice blind & video.
Are those E-Z TOWER Deer Blind Brackets ?
Thanks – JJ
Nice blind, Food plot looks awesome.
