Floor for a pop-up blind. Any suggestions?

Acid Test · 10-01-2007, 07:55 AM

My wife bought me a large size pop up blind with the walls and top but I am thinking about putting down some sort of flooring. Why? The blind is long enough for me to lay down and rest either before light or during the middle of the day. My hunting location is in the middle of nowhere, although I guess I could rest in the car. It would be easier to sleep right in the woods. A slightly raised floor would also keep me and my gear dry in case of a heavy rain.

Any suggestions? Has to be quiet.

I've snoozed more than once in one of these. It's not a floor but it keeps your tail off the ground.

Does the back support your head? The back doesn't seem tall enough. I am thinking a cot but they make a lot of noise.

Cut a couple of 6" trees off about waist high, put the blind over them and hang a hammock.

Will you be choosing the location well before season and leaving the blind out there or will you be carrying it in each time and setting up in varied locations? Also, What blind do you have?

Buy one of those reclining camp chairs from cabelas. For your gear make a table from logs or something. That should be enough to keep it off the ground.

Is the blind going to stay in the woods?

If it is,A peace of plywoodcovered withplastic or tarp will work.
Or a wooden pallet under the plywood covered with plastic or tarp.

Or just a peace of plastic or tarp by it self.

I hope this helps
