Ameristep blinds have set up and folding instructions in the bag on a sewn in red panel.

I have the Ameristep dog house blind and will never ever buy another one. I live in Michigan and other than the Oct. archery season it can rain during the day and freeze at night it can snow during the night and thaw during the day and freeze in the evening.
I have used a moisture displacing spray on the zippers, cooking vegetable sprays, bees wax and nothing will keep accumulated water from freezing the zippers so you can't use that froze window zipper or the door zipper. Just a simple little flap will protect the zippers but Ameristep refuses to add that improvement to their blinds.
They sent me an response to my E mail to carry the blind back to camp every night and set it up every day.

This blind is a little heavier to carry out and takes a bit longer to set up but you can set it up mid Oct and leave it till after the end of the late Dec. hunt the zipper will never freeze up so they won't open or close from snow ice or freezing rain. they put a flap over the zipper to protect them from moisture also us the larger courser style of zipper. the windows use ties to keep closed and roll up out of the way.

Strong enough to hold 20 inches of snow for at least 8 hours in my use.
