Howdy, man I realy like that blind.Back in 1999 a frind of mine and I built one out of Mirorr plastic. It only had three sides but it worked ok. Until the temp, went down to - 20 I was leaning agiainst it and broke one side in half. In a flash no more blind.

I guess you step out to shoot?
or go deaf?
That'd be like shooting from inside a 55 gallon drum no?

We used to package plasic pellets where I worked into boxes that we inserted a mylar liner that looked like aluniminum. The liner weighed only a few pounds and if it were put around a shock corded frame it would most likely do as well as the one pictured. Never thought of that application until now. By the way these liners held about 1800 pounds of plastic pellets. They were large to say the least.

If it were in the road I would end up running it over before I noticed.

Same here, I am goin to look for the material though.

I'm thinking this would be the best turkey blind ever!

Take 3 sheets and hinge them together. Set up behind it. I'm thinking if some turkeys came a-callin' they might like what they see. It'd be just like having a whole flock out front if you added some decoys.
