Building a blind...Need ideas.

[Chad]

I've been talking it over with my Dad and we have decided to build myself a box bow blind for next year. This will give me a full year to piece this thing together and make it exactly how I want. I'm looking to make this stand a comfortable size for 2 hunters. And I mean, comfortable. I plan on going all out with this stand.

I plan on carpeting this inside completely to dampen noise, 3 vertical shooting windows in the front, shelves @ either side interior, (2) bow hooks, (2) office chairs for comfort...But what I'm looking for, are ideas. What would YOU want in a stand like this? Something that would make a difference. For those of you that DO have a stand like this, if you dont mind sharing dimensions, it would be very appreciated.


Not looking to go quite as big as, Macoop. Granted that is one AWESOME blind, I'm looking for a more mobile (though heavy) stand. Here is the thread to his dream blind...

Hay bale blind is big, fairly light and portable. Comfy too

rear view mirrors so you can see behind you

My next one will be an octagon.

Something to definately consider. Haven't thought of that!

I would want a hardy door and locking system that would allow me to leave the small things in without the worry of them walking off.
I'm not talking about my bow or gun, but everything else that I have to pack in in my back pack that otherwise slows me down or makes noise getting to my stand.

one of my friends has a large funnel mounted in the blind with a hose connected to it and the hose runs right along the legs of the blind and the hose is barried 2 feet deep.... so if you have to many glasses of tea, beer, water and need to pee during the prime time of your hunt you can pee in your blind and the pee is 2 feet below the ground and wont mess you up

Solar panel with 12 volt lighting and wiring inside

Also would consider electricity if it were possible
Nothing wrong with an A/C unit, TV XBox, Sattelite, and laptop with a hotspot
Oh yeah, fridge with cold beverage of choice!

Lots of shelving, hooks for hanging things on a foot rests
