    She sends me to the doghouse. A nice blind like that stored in the backyard would be much nicer digs. Much warmer also!

    I have wondered if I should anchor it down to the ground. Mine seems so stable but you never know with Mother Nature!

    Yes. Here is a picture of the setup, with a pop can for size reference.

    Because I don’t want to see my wagon wheels off the ground and the forecast calls for 20mph winds with 40-60mph gusts tomorrow, I decided to anchor my hunting blind down. I used 3”x15” earth anchors, by no means is this overkill. I hope it helps keep everything in place.

    I built a new trailer for my mobile hunting blind. I used an old anhydrous tank running gear. Welded up a frame for the blind and a deck.
    I set the blind out last weekend to get ready for the gun season opener. Here it is now.

    What area do you hunt? Generally speaking.....

    I used to pick up those very short wood cutoffs split them and carry them in an old corn sack to the blind for my fuel. Probably nothing longer than 4". I would also pick up sticks on the walk in to the blind for starting the fire.

    I am located in the central lower peninsula.

    Believe it or not, this stove will fit an 11” “log”, just barely.

    I just didn't know if you hunted down there or if you went north some.
