BBO: I got a doghouse and here's a tip for ya. Take 4 pieces of 1/2" pvc pipe about 3/4" long and epoxy them in those darn loops your rods go in. It makes setting up in the dark alot easier and in the light too, come to think of it, lol Those flat loops are a bugger to get those rods in. Took me two phone calls to mfgr to fold it up too, btw. The trick there is it never exactly folds in half like you might think from directions. About the time you got it bent near double, you twist it so the front radius turns back under toward your feet and the darn thing almost folds itself after that, The trick is changing your grip w/o losing what ya got or disjointing your thumbs, lol. Now, for my pay back in luck, just spent 7 hrs on stands, 4 deer hrs and 3 bear hrs. Gonna need a lot of luck, but would settle for not having this sore butt, lol. Mal-Wart foam rubber dept in the a.m. lol
Oh, almost forgot, I rubbed my zippers [on the blind smart arses] w/ a candle to lube them. Dan
