I hunted from the same set up (tower was a couple feet shorter) all of last year and it worked great. I figured I'd have to just trash the pop up after the season, but it held up fine.

Acquired 2 other platforms, and plan on getting a couple more pop-ups to do the same thing.

The platforms arent light by any means, but the entire set up is definitely more mobile than if it had a full box blind on top.

It's a great and easy set up, especially for some one new to hunting, or if you are just getting on a new place and not 100% on blind placement yet.

I got tired of always having to repair wooden hunting blinds,and I'm too cheap to buy an expensive shop built blind. I wanted a blind on a trailer so it could be easily moved,and the commercial units that I've seen were $5k-$8k,you really can't explain how they get those prices for a blind.
So,I built one and have around $2k in it. It's 6'x7' and sets 4' off the ground. All metal exterior,insulated,plywood interior,upper storage shelf,shooting rail/shelf,carpeted floor,Deerview windows,etc. I have two deep cycle marine batteries and solar panels for electricity from an inverter,and a twin size mattress to sleep on inside it.The mattress just leans up against the wall when not in use,and I usually stay in it for 3 or 4 days at a time,it's pretty comfortable to stay in.

Thanks,The blind is 6' wide x 7' long and 6'6" tall in the center. A friend of mine had bought a couple electric traffic sign trailers at an auction,and sold me one that he wasn't going to use for anything. I just modified the existing trailer and built the blind frame on top of it. The trailer already had the corner swing-up jacks and rear outrigger jacks on it,and the tongue is also removeable.
This is what it looked like when I started it.

Ha! no freakin way!


We had two of these. We built the box as a modular unit. Four walls bolt together, as did the roof. The floor is what's used in most scaffolding as a platform, three panels laid side by side, hooked onto the bottom of the top pipe of the scaffold. Guyed down with steel strand used in aerial construction they were solid as a rock up on top.

Cheers

Nice


If you want some friendly advice, get a haircut and take a bath. You wouldn't get hassled so much.
