at my homemade blind! It cost me $5 in fittings to make, the 1/2 inch conduit was free! I'm a poor man who's trying to make a house payment and finish a basement.
I drilled 7/8 in. holes and threaded a 3/4 male thread x 1/2 in. slip fitting around the boat. These are what the vertical poles will slip into, nothing will be glued for ease of disassembling.
The vertical poles will have camo netting zip tied to them so they can be rolled up each time.
All you have to do is unroll each side, stick the poles into the adapters that are attached to the boat, put in the top pieces to hold each side and tie them together. I will throw a piece of camo burlap over the top with shooting holes cut out and use natural vegetation to touch up the netting each time.
I usually just throw in my layout blind and hunt from shore or island and hide the boat far away but this will give me more options for now.
Xena outgrew her blind so I made it a little bigger. I only use it when I'm in my layout. Sorry, it was dark out and I wasn't very steady.
This is the beast that pushes my meager rig. The Johsnon 6 hp.
Ok...now you can laugh. It's not much, but it's all I've got. I used to spend $1,500 a year to join a club in Warden, WA by Potholes, but I was single. Now I own a home and have a kid on the way!
