Layout Blind with backpack straps
« on: November 28, 2016, 08:48:38 AM »
Looking to upgrade and use my old one as a backup. I'm a pack-in guy so the big types that don't fold down won't work for me most of the time. Have been using the Rogers LP Goosebuster and it's just too uncomfortable to use when there is decent cover to hide a bigger blind.

Been looking at the avery ground force. Anybody using another that they like?

I have three of the ground force blinds and love them. They set up super easy and take down into a packable size just as fast. And they aren't to expensive. Haven't tried any other styles besides the power hunter blind and am more of a fan of the flap style doors as opposed to the lid.

I'll take a look at them. Where'd you see them for the sale price?

Only gripe with those is they don't fold up. I'm thinking of the other version that folds up possibly.

I have one of these blinds. They do fold up, but not terribly small. Basically, they lay flat and the foot area folds up. They end up around 48". Works great if you are merely trying to fit the blind in a short bed pick or something like that. Not great for packing into a hunting area.

I am 6 feet tall and when I have the pack pack straps on and carrying in, the bottom of the blind hits the back of my legs, but the comfort and ease of using them is worth it in my opinion.  If you're carrying in less that 1/4 mile that I think it's well worth it. Definitely want a truck to transport, but could fold down back seat in a car

Ended up with the Avery Ground Force. Packs up nice and is a few lbs lighter than the tanglefree. For whatever reason I just can't get behind tanglefrees gear. Guess I just don't trust it yet.
