RE: Building a blind question
I made a portable blind out of camo mesh from Sportsmans Warehouse and some 1/2" dowels cut to about 3 1/2 ft tall and sharpened to pointsat the bottom.I used four dowels, thus creating 3 panels about3' high by about 3' wide. Ifolded the mesh camo in half the narrow way on the ground, I ran some parachute cord thru the foldin the mesh with a little extra on each end. I thenwrappedboth ends of the mesh arounddowels and stapled and ziptied the dowelssecure, while stapling the parachute cord secure on top of the dowels. I stapledand ziptied thelast two dowelsequal distances from the outside two dowels, inside, about 3' from each end and from each other. Istapled and ziptied thelast two dowels, including the parachute cord to the top of each as well. I painted the dowels OD green prior to assembly. Total cost about $25.
I can roll and unroll the blind up to transport. Not the most portable, but portable enough, while providing good concealment.
Just thought I would share it with you.
