...there was a reason this was on clearance for $25. I've got my money on both. I knew it was low low quality to start with, but I can't even get the dang thing "rolled" back up. The included instructions were terrible. Anyone else buy one of these things? I can't even roll it back up to throw it in the trash.

I have one. There is a definite trick to it. You have to fold them in half, then "twist" them to ever get them broken back own correctly. Took me a while to get it right. I've dragged mine 300 yards out of the woods and rode it on back of the truck to the camp just like that before simply out of aggravation before I finally got the hang of it.

haha....not a chance. You'd likely see a break in the action and then me shooting both the blind and the camera.

One of my greatest hunting memories was watching my rather large hunting buddy try to wrestle one of those things back together

One of my hunting buddy's got one for Christmas a few years ago. The video camera was on a tripod watching the festivities. He opened it next to the Christmas tree while everybody was there. Damn near destroyed the tree and split his lip. I laugh my ass off every time it's brought up.

I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

One of them blinds like that whooped my big ole butt last year trying to break it down. I just left it there over the summer and ran over with a bat wing bushhog being pulled by 90 horse tractor in September. Pay back. laugh

One of the good things about being a meat cutter is that those blinds fold exactly like the bandsaw blades on our meat saws.I luckily have never had a problem with them but have seen some folks fight them things.It's all in the wrist and the twist to the inside.

This. The way I learned was getting an old machinist to show me repeatedly how he rolled/folded a bandsaw blade. You just gotta get it right a few times, then it's no big deal.

A friend of mine got one for Christmas a couple of years ago. Anxious to show everybody, he pulled it out of the bag, in his living room next to the Christmas tree. He said the list of what wasn't broke and who wasn't hit by something was the short story. Said ornaments, lights, popup blind and chit were flying and hitting peeps laugh

They will roll up...you fold and twist to the point it feels like you're going to destroy it. Then it gets easy.
