Elevated Deer Blind - Building/Raising 14 Foot Tower - One Man and His Tractor

[@Markofalltrades]

Really liked the block and tackle to help ease the platform over! Great job!

[@thehandyoutdoorsman9014]

Could not have done it without using them. Good thing there was a huge tree behind the platform to use.

It made it easier on the tractor doing the pulling... youdummy

[@phillypauly]

1 man, 1 tractor, 1 drone, 4 camera angles! quality content!!

[@thehandyoutdoorsman9014]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I’m building an 8x6 or 8x8 as well. Invaluable content.

[@steveaw5895]

That ought to be a comfortable blind when done. Always a good video when that pretty tractor makes an appearance.

[@thehandyoutdoorsman9014]

If I build the blind that is imagined in my mind i might have to scale it down a bit. The tractor is always the star of the show! Thanks for watching.

[@derekjp6043]

Seems like it could be made safer by reinforcing the slim 2x4’s even more that will sustain the blind & occupant weight.

[@UncleBucks]

Heck of a good start there. Nice job with the 3 different video angles!

[@thehandyoutdoorsman9014]

Thanks Brett. Putting the design together for the blind, going to use some ideas from your octagon build (Hope you don't mind😏 )

Worthy

[@buckdragger9215]

Nice job, now that’s ingenuity! Very 😎

[@thehandyoutdoorsman9014]

Thank you sir. Really did not have a master plan, just figured it out as I went.

[@Rob-vx2fb]

Where is part two?

[@Omhctaz]

How big is the base with the 8x8 platform? Want to make sure I clear a large enough area.

[@thetruckersmanifesto3873]

Getting old sucks man. Can't leave the outhouse open eather. He'll be faced down needing rescue.

[@HarvestOutdoors]

When is part 2 coming?

[@thehandyoutdoorsman9014]

As soon as these lumber prices come down. Current list prices of lumber almost doubles the amount I wanted to spend.

[@HarvestOutdoors]

@@thehandyoutdoorsman9014 I hear you there. Was mainly wondering how you tied it down to the ground anchors.

[@MrRloucks]

You realize the elevator brackets are rated at 250 pounds each?

[@thehandyoutdoorsman9014]

Yes I am aware. Still working on different plans just waiting for these lumber prices to drop
