I have the same blind, and the same problem, but I got it from a buddy of my dad for $20 after he picked it up for cheaper at wally mart, through club dicount and clearance price. Any how, I'd get two more stands, instead of the 4 you mentionsed, and the trail camera.As far as the blind goes, you could either firgure out how theAmeristep goes back together, or safe up and get theDB later on.
