First off what type of blind is it?? sportmans guide sells a kinda like forgger for them not sure what it is called I just set mine up for and let it sit in my yard for a couple of weeks to air.. you can leave it set up all season if you wish though some of the blinds tend to sunfade depending on who it was made by some fade less than others but if I were you and were going to leave the stand up for an extended length of time even if it was on private land I woul chain it to a tree so it dosent walk off..
