Use soapy water And throw it at them they will kill them instantly
How long have those blinds lasted ?
Just put one on a platform. Not sure if it will survive the West Texas winds
Can you use a buddy heater in that?
Use Break cleaner. Kills the beasts instantly.
Great idea
Good make sure you spray it heavily or it will fade lol good hunting
Best way to get a nest out of your blind is a hot shot fogger. Pop the top and throw it in there and go back the next day with a broom and sweep them out.
Just curious how these held up. As an outfitter solid structure has always been the way to go unless you already owned these ameristeps the cost wouldn’t be much different. My experience is pop ups are cheaply made nowadays. Nice at first until it sets in elements. Be sure a keep them sprayed with repellent.
Wait till dark when all the wasps are inside nest then fill it full of spray , come back in morning and all wasps will be dead .
Paint the inside and outside and add kerosene to the paint! That’ll take care of the wasp issue.
Good idea
Foggers work great for blinds
Why so low to the ground? Need be atleast 8ft high
How long before the carpet smells so bad you can't hunt it?
Only problem i see is the blinds wont support the weight of snow
Who the hell taught you too frame up floor joists?
Omg I know your just building a shoot house!!!! I wouldn’t put my kids on that carp!!!
My God be on your side and now one gets hurt!!!
A platform for that will hold an elephant to support a blind that will collapses the first snow or ice. Or be gone with the first windy storm. Ice is really hard on them.
Best way to kill wasp and bees is to wait about a half hour or more after it gets dark. All of them will be on the wasp nest or in their hives and have your wasp and hornet killer spray ready as you shine a flashlight on them. Spray them and they are dead . A lot safer at night time and you get them all .
Dude I put corner studs on mine and made a square frame for roof and then used old garage door panels for the roof cause they are light weight then attach them with angle brackets works Awsome
We've been doing this for 15 years
This is exactly what out blinds are. We put ours out early also. We are planning on switching out ever stand we have for a raised blind. All the new ones will have 8 foot tall platforms.
That's a sweet setup
We just set up our Blind this Year. Come see how I'm trying to make it super warm so our daughter wont freeze while hanging out with Mom and Dad. Your Welcome to come Join the Family. Missouri WhiteTail Hunting in 8 Days!!
That is my plan to build my blind ! Great minds think a like ! Lol. My blind is more square, it’s 5ft. X5ft. And mobile but same concept !👍
How are the blinds secured to the platform
Dude. You have a serious wardrobe problem.
How tall is your platform?, didn't look so high but looking towards the target looked higher. Great video!!
Carpet? Won’t it get wet?
If you hang a Cattle ear tag inside it will prevent Bees and other insects from taking up residence in your blind…..
Great Idea!
Get yourself some Talstar P and never worry about them again. Spray the inside and out with it a few times before and maybe once during the season and they won't come near the boxes. Just built myself a 6'x 8' box with a 6' 5" ceiling height and can't wait to get it to camp and up.
how did you attach the blind to the floor?
What about high winds knocking it down?
Looking good! 👍
