Thanks for the video, I have the 5x6 Shooter which is sadly now discontinued. I use Aero Space 303 on all of the gaskets, which takes care of the sticking and protects them from UV damage . To help with the condensation from the Buddy heaters, I use a clamp on stroller fan while warming up the blind. After the blind settles in I don't have many issues. One thing that I found that has also decreased fogging is adding more 1" egg crate foam around and below the windows.

After getting my new blind home, I was kinda let down by the overall build quality. On the seams, the rivets that hold the panels together, should have backup washers There's nothing for the rivets to grip, but fiberglass and plastic. They put some on the hinges, but not the seams. The windows are a complete joke. The so-called bow windows in the corners, have a gutter riveted in below them on the inside, along with a drain, because they know they are going to leak. The liquid nails type glue they use on the egg crate foam is done so sparingly, that they are not secure at all. Two of mine are off, and are just laying in the blind. The fiberglass is so flimsy, that it sounds like a drum when someone is inside the thing. For the price of this thing, I expected better. The windows are going to be the first thing I replace. It needs a proper slider, so the whole window doesn't have to be opened up to make a shot. That goofy string and notch thing is so sub par, it's laughable. Not trying to be a downer, but again when someone spends this kind of money for a deer stand, you shouldn't have to work on it, before you can use it. Just my opinion, YMMV...

That’s a nice set up! Good for you man!

Great review! In the process of deciding of buying a prebuilt build or do one myself. You got me thinking in a different direction. Thanks for sharing.

Liked the wood heat suggestion.

Thank you for an honest and fair review.

On the sticking seal of the windows. Get some graphite powder and put it on the gasket. The seal will still happen, but it won't stick. Powder can work too, but if it absorbs water, then you may make the problem worse. Just a thought.

Great review thank you!

Cant wait to get one!

Thanks for the video. I'm in West MI too and plan to visit a dealer to look at these. Maybe they have addressed some of your issues with newer models. I would be interested in a video about your wood heater. That's the first time I've seen one in a blind and the darn fogging issue is a major problem for every blind I've seen. Well, every blind except yours.

Had that same problem. I put a very light layer of Vaseline on the seal and that took care of the problem

I love it

I like the review. Maybe rub a little Vaseline on the window seals. Whitetails don’t notice it. I actually use it on my feeder legs to keep raccoons from climbing the legs.

Wipe the window seals with silcone spray or talcum powder. That will help.

A bit of felt would solve that window sticking issue.

Tip for fogged up windows: put some sort of vent in the roof, or in the upper part of the walls that can be opened or closed. 😉

Try a silicone spray on the rubber window seal. Stop the sticking.

WD 40 or gun oil in the pads can work on the seals

What size blind is the last one (exp.) 5 by 6

Im interested in the wood stove build

Good video thanks. How do you like the ten foot stand compared to the shorter ones. I'm purchasing soon and undecided between 5 foot and ten.

A little bit of vasilene around the gasket should keep them from sticking.

clean the window edges and then apply some silicone lube to the seals and it won't stick.

How heavy is it as far as lifting on to platform? Or is it modular?

I'm curious if a thin layer of grease on the window seal would help with the sticking..

Thanks for the info on your blinds. We are looking to buy 2 blinds and really trying to justify spending 2500-3000.00 for the redneck blinds. My nephew has on and ill have to admit it is nice. I was looking at the mavericks for less then half the price but they are made of plastic and the door looks very flimsy and it's pretty much a shell. In your opinion do you really need the long windows that you speak of that fall out? Was there ever a time you couldn't shoot. Out the other windows geared more for crossbow or rifle? And would you spend the extra money for redneck blinds again? Thanks!

Wouldn't it be easier to use a Coleman buddy heater with a window open?

the newer blinds have magnets for holding curtains

Put some vasciline on the window gasket it won’t stick anymore

What if you put some car wax on the edge of the window, maybe then they won't stick.

Do you think the deer identify smoke as Potential Threat? And might begin to connect smoke with humans. Just asking I don't know

They have magnetic blinds now for the windows.

Lubricate window gasket with silicone spray on a rag

Tip on the black out curtains......go to the dollar store, or Walmart, and get those double sided tape hooks that your wife uses all over the house. Then make small slits in the corners of your curtains. Hang them on the hooks. 👍

Put a very thin coat of Vaseline on the rubber gasket on the windows. Just a tip.

Quick tip: wax the edge of the window and it won’t stick to the seal

Cover your seal in the front with cayenne pepper

Put a little Vaseline on the seal

$1700 per blind is quadruple the cost to build a blind.

Put olive oil on the window

four aluminum poles a beach umbrella and a military surplus camo net ... stop laughing i shot a bobcat, coyote and an armadillo last year ... only things that got close to my redneck christmas tree!
