Had to cut a 20" triangle in the ceiling to get the smoke an escape path. None of the window panel combinations would clear the smoke. With my little Lasko electric heater, it keeps the blind plus 20-25 degrees above outside temp.
Set this up for the 1st time in yard with temps in the single digits. Set us was supper easy!!! Put a single brick buddy heater in it and opened 3 windows. After 30 min of heater set to low the house Maude temp was 58 degrees. Very pleased.
Nice blind, heavy duty material should help with noise as well as retaining heat which is good in northern Mi. Easy entry and exit as well my first sit will Nov 15th opening day but looking forward to late season as well .
I like the idea of the insulated construction but I think the windows still need some improvements, going to leak a lot of water when the snow is melting.also the shape of the window could be rectangular instead of triangular. That being said I feel this is the best pop up blind I have had,an can’t wait for November 15th to use your product. Thanks
Poor thermal because of all the air leaks at bottom of door and windows. I have other blinds and even with the thermal material didn’t feel like this blind was much warmer. Other than the warmth I really liked the 5 sided design with the ease of getting through the door.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought this as I'm getting older and the cold is messing with me. I have 3 daughters n a wife. I can take them with plenty of room for 2 crossbows, 2 large camp chairs, my backpack, 2 hunters(5'11" n 285# and 5'4" woman ) and a big buddy heater with a BBQ tank! We love this blind! Its quite it inside and out!(Daughter coughed with 5 does in 20-30 yards from us and didn't pay any attention to it. ) Warm! (We hunt on the very top of a mountain with high winds and colder weather!)I can't run the highest setting on the heater without shedding a layer... Have had it 2 seasons now and taken multiple deer out of it! Worth the money! Pro tip use the big camping spikes to anchor down! The racheting tie down system awesome too!
