Default Help with a new blind

Help!!!!
I bought a Eastman Outfitters Magnum Quick Set blind and it seems I can't get it to fold back up. It did not come with instrutions. I was able to do it once right after I bought it but this last time I opened it I am unable to get it to fold back up. So if anyone can help or maybe has a set of directions I would be very thankfull.

I use the Doghouse blind that looks like that blind when folded on itself. I fold two sides of the circle into each other like a taco. Then I tuck one end of the taco underneath the center as I roll it into a smaller circle. Then I just keep twisting and turning until I get it into a smaller circle. Harder to tell you than it would be to show you.

Pac,try this fold the three sections until you have one circle then place the bottom between your feet,grab the top of circle with your right hand palm out and twist clockwise while pushing downward lightly. The rings will fold in to smaller circles 3 I think,guide any hangups on material with left hand. If you can't figure it out find someone who works with bandsaw blades or long fan belts they are folded using the same technique.

NC I got it to fold up, but then when I went to do it again, I had a brain f@rt and can't get it to do it again. It went so easy I guess I wasn't paying attention. I followed your instrutions and it went great then when i tried again nothing. LOL Oh well I will keep trying. Besides My truck is broke down and it looks like I'm not going to be able to get out after any turkeys for about a week. If it aint one thing it's another.

Good ole Cabelas I called them today since I had not gotten any responce from the company that makes the blind I bought. I had boughten it from Cabelas. I explained my problem in not being able to refold the blind. They did not have any directions that they could send me but they did give me the web site for Ameristep blinds which is the same consept blind. Well not only did they have printable directions but they even had a vid clip that shows you how to fold it up. Next blind will be a Ameristep thats for sure.
Thanks to everyone for trying to help me out, I really appreciate the help. Oh in case you can't tell I got the blind folded up like I knew what I was doing. I also printed out the directions and put them into the carry bag just incase my mind has a malfuntion again
