Well, the hunt in question is over. I hauled the new blind down to AZ but never got it out of the truck. Sat in ground blinds and a tree stand instead. I’ve never liked tree stands and rarely ever used them, but I became quite fond of this setup and sat it out about 20′ up 8 hours a day, 6 days running and wish I were still down there sitting in it now. Maybe if they built a pop-up blind that was only 2′ high all around and topless, I could go for it. Anyone want a screaming deal on a NRE Primos blind, never used? I’m serious. As several of you have noted, claustrophobia is the key word. And I just enjoy building and using brush blinds. Oh well, a bold experiment into modernity. Thanks for all the very good advice along the way. dave
