I looked at my pics again, and they just don't do it any justice.  This blind is HUGE--at least as big as the biggest I've been in before, maybe bigger.

I hope to have a friend that knows how to take pictures over this week and get some better ones to give an idea of the size of this thing.  Today I had company--there were three grown men inside one of these blinds (including me--the other two guys weren't as big, but they weren't small either) and we had plenty of room to move around--not at all elbow to elbow.

If you have ever been inside an Ameristep Penthouse, this one has at least as much room.  It sets up faster, and takes down a LOT faster.  

The first time I set it up, without even reading the instructions, I was able to set it up in a minute or two and can take it down as fast or faster.  Getting it back into the carrying case is pretty easy also--ideal for turkey hunting as it can be assembled/dissasembled/moved quickly and easily.

It also has two small ports for a video camera, several pockets on the inside, and ties on the outside to add native brush to completely hide it.  

Shipping isn't too bad on it.  I checked the shipping from here to Copperas Cove, Tx (via Fed-Ex)--think it was $22 and change.  Based on that, I figure I can ship almost anywhere in the continintal U.S. for $20-$30.  I will only charge actual shipping cost, and can ship via Fed-Ex, USPS, or UPS.

I'm not sure what company manufactured them--my bet is the same blind is being sold under a few different names.

The wholesaler I get them from is local--a big-shot in a different industry that decided to branch out.  I just happened to have worked under him 20 or so years ago, and he knows my family, etc. so we were able to work out a deal.

I'll see if I can track down the actual manufacturer.  I can say the quality is very good--better than the Ameristep blinds I've been using the last 5-6 years.

Thanks in advance.

For comparison, my longbow is 66".  I'm 6' 2", (LBR).

Thats a sweet blind. I like the lower corner windows aswell. Makes me wish I didn't just pick one up elswhere. I guess it couldn't hurt to have a second one at some point.

Water resistant.  The ceiling seams are all taped.  I haven't sat in it in the rain, but I believe it will be just fine.

Looks like an Eastman product. I have one similar, LX-5 Undercover. The Yukon blinds were almost identical. Very nice blinds for the money.

I just realized that pic with me in it makes the blind look a LOT smaller than it is.  Trust me, 3 or 4 guys my size will fit in it and not be rubbing elbows.  It is HUGE.

My brother timed me setting it up/taking it down today.  Time started when I started to unzip the bag.  I had it out and up in a little over 40 seconds.  Taking it down, including putting it back in the bag and zipping it up, took 38 seconds.

Local folks are grabbing them up--even sold one to the UPS guy today.  The demo does it--once folks see it in person, and see how easy it is to put up and take down, it's a done deal.

Hope to get some good pics on my site soon.
