Several I have made or bought have already been mentioned but this shelf tends to help me out a lot when it comes to texting or doing a live hunt on TBH. I have two box bow blinds and one has great signal while the other is a little suspect. I find that I can send a text or post a pic in the side window of the low signal blind better than anywhere else. So instead of holding the phone there for an eternity while it does its thing, I built a little shelf under the window to place it on. I know I know....lazy but it serves its purpose..

When I was a kid my dad built us a deer blind/cabin... it was 8 foot off the ground... porch on the side with a ladder to climb up to the porch...
The hunting part was 10 ft long and 5 ft wide with a bench seat it in and table built into the corner. 8 ft tall so there was storage shelves up above your head when you stood up.
Under the table, you could flip up the table and there was a 8 inch pipe with a lid on it then went down to one inch pvc, through the floor and into the groud to pee in when ya needed to pee. flushed it by pouring some water into it when you were done....
propane heater and one burner stove hooked up with copper lines that went through the floor and out to a 5 gallon propane bottle in the brush...
windows 360 degrees....
at the end of the bench seat there was a 3ft by 3 ft crawl space that went into the sleeper area in back. This was attached to the side of the deerblind/cabin where you crawled into it from the hunting part and we had soft mats in there to lay down. it was like 3 foot tall so you couldnt stand up, but 5 ft wide and the 10 ft long... with a little window in it...
The blind is built with insulation in it and everything... it was warm..
We used to put a car battery on the porch and my dad had an adapter where we hooked up a tv in the sleeper and we spent the night in the deer blind quite a few times... we would cook dinner, watch deer, after it got dark we would watch movies or tv shows for a few hours in the sleeper area, then crash out. Then we would get up to hunt right before light and crawl back into the hunting part of the blind.... watch deer and cook breakfast on the stove...
I was young enough where many times I would still be asleep and my dad would wake me up by saying "your bucks out there, get up" so I'd get up real quick, crawl into the hunting part and shoot a deer he told me to shoot. It was pretty cool as a kid. like a big tree house. As I got older I kinda saw how ridiculous it all was... The blind and all is still there at our ranch, no one uses it anymore, lots of memories though. Now I have more fun freezing my butt off and sitting over the heater when I hunt...Last edited by ducks-and-bucks; 06-23-2013, 06:20 PM.

Im guilty of putting a shelf on the wall of my old blind with a hole through it to drop in my mag light so its nice and organized. corner shelf for binos, vertical windows before that got really popular. I always put carpet on top of all the shelfs so it was quieter when you set something down too...
The old blind I had I sprayed rubber undercoating in the whole thing in the inside on all the walls, and it acted as a insulator where when it was cold it would hold in the heat to a very noticeable difference yet it didnt take up much room like any other kind of insulation.
