I have plans to build the exact same blind this summer at my property deep in the woods. 9x11’ with a wood burning stove and flat screen tv. I’m excited to see your progress so I can learn from you. Good Luck!.
That sounds awesome, and I'm jealous because I'd love to do the project over again..... it was a blast. How's your project coming along? Will you be ready for hunting season? Thank you for watching our videos.
Very nice. Looked like a ton of hard work.
It was a lot of hard work, but very rewarding to see the progress along the way.....and now we get to use it! Thanks for watching Jameson.
Man,that's serious overkill, seriously 😳
Thanks for watching, Billy. It did end up getting a little big, but between it and the other hunting spots on the property, we now have options for all the different preferences for the hunters in our family. We will enjoy using it as a cabin during the spring/summer too.
Haters going to hate. Fxck that! This looks bad ass.
Just came across you channel, good start to a nice looking deer stand.
Thanks 👍 - Please be sure to check out the 6-part series here: th-cam.com/play/PLzjkFoY9S6txDr-OF4ezJ3gWuTGuqgj7i.html
that winch is on the front of that four wheeler for a reason
Lol - I know.....I think it's nice just to get where you need to go without messing around with it. Thank you for watching our videos.
J-hook = Anchor Bolt?
I like the other hardware, Loving the video too. I have been building ridiculous deer stands like mad as well lol.
It's fun to see others do the same.
Thank you for watching! I am really happy with the Simpson Strong-tie "Adjustable Standoff Post Base for 4x6" secured by Red Head stainless sleeve anchors. So far so good!
Don't feel bad, I've had to learn from many mistakes in my 57 years ")
Someone should have told you to insert your bolts in the cement while it was still wet, would have saved you all that drilling "/
ugh! Yes!
Why did you go with posts on concrete pilings versus putting the posts in the ground?
@John Schreier - I chose post on pilings so I could swap out posts or pilings later more easily. Despite the fact that I used treated lumber, I worried that the habitat would be hard on any material, and wanted some flexibility down the road. I hope I won't need to worry about it, but if I do, I have replacement options with doing anything too drastic.
Pleased
Yes - we are very happy with the way it turned out. Thanks for watching our video and channel!
Did you add any rebar to the footings? If so, how many pieces per tube and what width of the bar 1/2"?
@John Yuhaschek - thanks for watching. I did opt for fiberglass rebar on this project, but I used 7/16". Here's the product I used: www.menards.com/main/building-materials/concrete-cement-masonry/rebar-remesh/7-16-x-20-fiberglass-rebar/1831110/p-1520408262313.htm
Hi...cool project.
Question:
Where are you located that you were trying to go 4' down? Most of usa needs 36" max. Four feet is extremely excessive for a deer blind.
Many sit on the surface w just tie downs.
I was going to build my own but when I realized how the cost of materials is nearly double from just 5 or so years ago opted to just buy a nice one that goes up quick without all the labor.
By the time I procured all the materials and put in the labor it worked out about a wash with just purchasing one complete.
I often make that mistake of the undervaluing what my time is worth. I love to build and tinker but I'm no pro at it so it takes 2 times longer than it should so I just put up the cash instead.
Good stuff!
Hey, thanks for the great comment. We are way up north where it regularly hits -10*F and every now and again will hit -30*F. You are right about the cost. It cost way more than I had intended it to. I put in hundreds of hours, but it paid me back in enjoyment of being out in the woods and I really enjoy the time building.
Need a bennche warrior
Thank you. I'll look into that.
Man, You can always add an overhang... Screw 2X4's as a lip into the existing overhang and go from there.
How has your hunting season been so far?
My brother got two doe and filled his freezer. We'll see if I get anything during the holiday hunt.
You must be building a hotel in the woods with all that work yikes hint a tractor is 10 times better than a 4 wheeler
I would LOVE to have a tractor......am working on that. :) Only thing I would be concerned about is getting the tractor up that bluff. My ATV struggled at times as that bluff is very steep.
