This hunting blind was super easy to make and will probably last forever. It's a 1,000 gallon tank, approximately 6.5' tall (at the peak), over 5' in diameter and constructed of durable plastic. It is a TANK of a deer blind. The size makes it great for archery or rifle hunting. You might be able to find a water tank like this on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. ➼ Watch my 6 x 6 x 12 platform build for this blind here: • 6' x 6' x 12' Hunting ...

@mountainbuck any chance you could review the ameristep deluxe double chair blind for bow hunting? Hardly any video footage of it, but some say it would work for compound bow. If there is room to have and maneuver the bow around in there with you, it could be ideal with quick set up and get out. Sorry to message you off this video, couldn't find any other spot to message off of. All info appreciated.

@mountainbuck Год назад

@@brianberland129 hey Brian! That looks like a pretty cool product. Very easy to transport and pop-up for a quick setup, like you mentioned. Just looking at the pictures, I’m not so sure about using a compound bow. It seems more suited for crossbows, rifles and shotguns. If I have the opportunity to check it out I’m person, I will definitely take a look!

Great build. Dairy farmer here, and had a 2000 gallon tank that we had to toss out. I couldn't decide what to do with it, and then found this video. Now my wife and I are converting it into a blind tomorrow lol thank you for the insight

@Oscaralvarado376 2 года назад

Paint the inside black so your silhouette doesn’t spook deer when you move. Add acrylic windows and tint them. Put some handles on the sides to lift, and some vents inside that open and close.

@mountainbuck 2 года назад

Hey Oscar. Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll definitely be painting the interior black in the spring 👍🏻

Wow, absolutely Love it even the urinal idea. I told the Mrs that I want to put/make a urinal in my shooting houses 🏘️, and she thought I was crazy.

Hey Bryant, thanks for checking out my channel and for the kind words! That urinal is a game changer haha. Here is a short video showing the blind (and urinal) after I got it all set up.

Hey great idea, thanks! I actually built a 12’ platform and managed to get this blind on it haha. Best of luck this season 👍🏻

@curte7739 Год назад

That's pretty awesome matter of fact I know where there's one of those sitting right now it's about the same height but it's a little bit bigger around than that one. The only tweak I would do to the one you did would be to paint the inside black

@mountainbuck Год назад

Hey Curt E! Thanks for the positive feedback! I did spray the majority of the inside to darken it. Best of luck with your build!

What are you using to fasten things just screws, nuts and bolts or what?

@mountainbuck 2 года назад

Hey Sivyer! Thanks for checking out my channel! I used self-driving screws for the most part. The plastic is thick and sturdy enough that they stay in.

@stacypalmer2646 Год назад

Nice build….. Is it loud when you have to move around inside it, like an echo???

@mountainbuck Год назад

Hey Stacy, thanks for checking out my channel! I have that artificial turf/outdoor carpet in there to dampen any sound from moving around. I do try and be careful with gently placing my crossbow or rifle on the window cutout as that would create some sound. Other than that it’s pretty quiet!

I’m in Texas…I’d probably sweat out of it in 15 minutes. Is it hit in there?

@mountainbuck 2 года назад

When I was building it was warm out so it did get warm in there. It just depends on the outside temperature, but you also have those big windows that will provide cross-ventilation. Best of luck 👍🏻

@Sivyer36 2 года назад

Hey, I'm building one of these that is a little smaller but taller, any ideas to make sure it doesn't blow over in the wind.

Hey Sivyer36 thanks for checking out my channel! These things are pretty heavy, but if you have some extra room inside, maybe you can put a few bricks in to keep it down. Best of luck with your blind! 👍🏻
