I'm looking to build a box blind to keep from freezing my tail off in the great north woods. I need some inspiration. I would love to see pictures of what some of you cold weather hunters use to hunt and stay comfortable in.

I am involved in a gravity box blind right now......it is awesome. I do not know how to post photos.
Sits about 8 feet high maybe more, can pull it around with truck or tractor. Like sitting in an aquarium viewing room. Deer walking right past it.
Has a nu wave 20,000 but heater, silent, very little light. Boils water chimney. Room to sleep in.
Dancing in the moonlight.

Buy a folding melon container like grocery stores put watermelons in. Heavy plastic jobs build like a brick chit house.

I like a stand 4x4, tight for two people but I’m always by myself
