    Kyle,
    I bet your hired professional will remember that for the rest of her life. My girls remember us building stands and fixing feeders. Great job...GREAT MEMORY to share with her!

      Awesome! On the rubber compound how much strength does it add? If someone wanted to use foam insulation board and Coat with that stuff would it work?

          It would waterproof it. I think the weak link would be the attachment points in the foam. You could probably easily kick the panels off from inside.

          If you painted a beer box with 2 coats, I bet you couldn’t rip it by hand

            Sounds perfect for us!

            Blind will last a long long time, I'm sure.

                The best thing is having the kids involved. Awesome and future hunters.

                        I know you know what you're doing.....but...


                        The way those skids angle outward, I can't help but think that tubing going down from the platform to the actual skid should be braced/gusseted. Dragging that thing along uneven terrain is gonna want to pull those skids outward, and all that force is going straight into those joints/welds....especially the front 2.

                          Maybe. Legs are only 20” and blind should be just shy of 700#ill test it first. If it breaks I can fix it. It fill never be more than 10 miles from me

                            The “plan” is to “x” wire this brace where it’s layed. Then pull from it with short chain. That “should/hope” keep legs from spreading and give me a slight upward pull to keep from digging as bad. Same pipe I slide on forks to move it with now.

                            But agreed. Hooking direct to leg would probably fail on first root I jump over
