Popup sizes don't match well with 4' plywood, so I just use PT 2x8's for the floor.


Problem is scent control. Main point besides comfort/kids etc of these is scent as there is no good option for putting the stands/access etc


If the wind is wrong, don't hunt that stand. I have lost count of the number of times I woke up, checked the wind for my stands, and returned to bed.

Only time I hunt regardless of the wind, is when I am out of state, and the guide/outfitter tells me where to sit.

At home, on my place, I won't sit on the wrong wind.
