    Box Blind

    I need some pointers on a box blind I can build that can be disassembled for transportation, and be accommodating for long hours spent therein. I'm thinking of something along the lines of 6'x4'x5'. Any ideas on what to use and what's the most affordable way to build this?

    HogSlayerExtreme, build a blind on a utility trailer. The gentleman that has my
    ranch leased, that's the way he built his and can move it wherever he wants it.
    You don't have to tear it down. I think his is like 5' X 10' with nice door and sliding
    glass windows. Just a thought.................................

    I have seen one of those Stoeger9 and it is pretty nice, especially if you build it to where you can pull it around with your 4 wheeler.

    The area I want to place it at is inaccessible by vehicle, I need something I can haul into the woods in pieces and assemble it on-site. My hunting site is all wooded and overlooks a lake shore.

    Man I use a blind and a blind heater if it is too cold, though we have hunted in 18 degree weather without even the blind heater. Ponyboy will tell you that is the coldest he has ever been in his life!!

    And, on public land we carry the blind in and out each time we hunted.

    Take a look at these. You don't have to use the hexagon shape. I'm sure a basic box could be constructed using the foam boards just as easily and since it's insulation, you should be able to heat it pretty easily in winter. You would need to roll on some paint or drape some camo fabric over it as well. Should be light and portable, easy to set up and tear down.

    My friend HogSlayerXtreme!
    As here in Brazil we do not have access to many facilities that exist in the USA, had to improvise in the construction of my blind. I did not want a wood blind and had seen some blinds built in fiberglass. In this link you can see one of them:

    BOSS FIBERGLASS HUNTING BLINDS

    As I had to improvise, I got a water tank, did a camouflage paint, made two windows in front and one on the back and mounted it on a wooden base. The entrance is through a trapdoor in the floor and can comfortably accommodate two people sitting. Moreover, still has space for a cot if required to spend much time.

    If you can transport it to their hunting place, can be a solution.

    Here are some photos:

    Atakacorp, meu amigo!
    You asked me for pictures of my blind and I had already written something about it.
    I took a water tank to my blind, I painted it green and black, to be camouflaged and works well. Has a window behind and two in front, and thus has two shot points comfortable. Internally, taking the curvature of the blind, made ​​a bed in the shape of half moon. This allows me to spend the night comfortably, sleep there if necessary. On the perimeter of the feeder I have two wireless motion sensors that warn me if something came to eat.
    The only thing I added in my blind was a roof to protect me from sun rays in summer because the blind becomes very hot.
