[QUOTE="KDM, post: 136277, member: 314"] Not that exact one, but have sat in a couple of the similar products and this is what I've found. The Negatives: 1. LOUD. Any movement of your feet, chair, gun, or other items that come into contact with the blind echos inside and out of the blind. 2. Not enough room for much. A chair will take up most of the space so if you want a heater, plan on burning a hole in either yourself or an item of clothing sometime during the hunt. Also makes turning around to watch for deer interesting. See #1. 3. The hinges/jams of the door or the windows seems to always be warped and won't close securely to keep any wind out or your scent in and tend to rust up and then creak. 4. Windows seem to cloud over pretty fast once in the field so you have to keep them open to see well. Negating any warmth you may want. 5. Unless they are SECURELY tied down or staked or whatever, they are just as susceptible to the wind. Given the weight of this blind, I would be concerned. The Positives: Most of the negatives other than the hinges and warping can be mitigated with add ons and a little ingenuity, but that adds expense and without too much trouble, you have spent the same amount as if you had gone and bought the wood, windows, insulation, and other things to build a quiet, warm, roomy, insulated, scent controlling blind that you can share with your wife/kids/friends while hunting. 'Course you won't be as mobile as this blind is. [/QUOTE]
