Hell of a blind. I like metal for the base, lot quicker, lasts forever, much fast to put up and take down. I built platform this summer. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/JnTmp0hP/IMG-9019.jpg) I doubt Slum is worried about quick to take down. How toasty is that metal on a 30° morning?

Nice stand.
A couple years from now your going to be hunting out of that stand.
It's going to be 34 degrees and raining outside.
You will wonder why you didn't do that 20 years ago.
You will smile ...

Very nice! I built this one with all lumber from a scrap pile at a housing development. Only purchased items were hinges, screws/nails and a couple packs of shingles[I already had it all laying around]. It currently sits on land that I sold last winter but I have rights until any developing starts. When that day comes it will be moved to my property and lifted, windows added etc. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/b8IrVNgl.jpg)

Great build. I live to proof-of-concept shot with the deer hitting the food plot next to your propped up feet. Nice.

That looks simply excellent - well designed and strongly built. Comfy, too - there was a time when I probably would have been happy to live there.
Living out here, I have never been a still hunter - except a pause to rest and watch for a few minutes now and then - but, if hunting your way, that would seem a perfect setup. Congrats, and thanks for the progressive post.

That's a nice stand you have! I hunt out of something like that and every time the wind is howling or raining I tell myself I should have done this years ago. Another great thing is that almost all the deer we see from mine are not alarmed so there are no running shots to take and that makes for better eating meat. Great place to take a nap too! Great job and I hope you get many years of use out of it.
