    Has anyone built a deer blind on top of running gear. This is fairly common down here. I bought a small hay wagon recently, 6’x10′. If you have done so I am asking for pictures and suggestions. I appreciate your help. Gonna be nice to hunt in comfort and take naps.

    On a running gear you will want blocks or stiff legs they creak back and forth on the gear. Also tie it down if you put it on a high spot.

    This one on an old, shortened boat trailer. Like it better, it’s more maneuverable a 4-wheeler. Also 3 points to the ground are very stable. They all have 2×4 framing with home quality construction. Don’t get wasps or insects in the off season. Being dk brown they warm up quick when the sun comes out. Lots of afternoons in uninsulated clothes and tennis shoes.

    Executive desk chair. With proper lumbar support of course. First one will accommodate 2. Worst problem is staying awake when rain is hitting the metal roof and it’s nice and dry and warm inside. Almost never use a heat source. Can’t find inside pictures. But several hours sitting in it during the build. Shelves cup holder and hooks in perfect spots. Now I use the small one and have given the big on to my buddy for him and his daughter. 2×6 windowsills with a pad are a perfect bench rest.

    My family has a few of these, used old wagons with scrap steel laying around for the stands. They still will blow down in strong wind if too tall. Trees also become an issue when moving. Used the “pentagon” style plastic and a muddy on the other. My suggestion is dont use redi pannels, the dang birds put holes in mine! I am using tin next time.
    Yes, warm in daytime, but they cool off quickly!

    If it were not for the mice I would for sure have a recliner in my condo. I am setting this bad boy up for comfort. Even have a camp toilet for going poo.

    Dad has one, but yes big enough for Dad and me. The hay wagon I bought is 6’x10′. I can put a pretty good sized club house on top of that.
