Thank you young man!! I followed the paper instructions for my Muddy blind they say do the roof last. I tried it there way for 20 minutes an nevergot the blind collapsed correctly. Watched your excellent video it took me 1 minute to properly collapse and pack my blind. You sir deserve a gigantic pay raise.

[@robertstives8742]

I just received a 100 blind a few days ago. The printed instructions are inadequate! They do not mention a “sequence” for opening! The video clearly shows this, and my frustration was greatly relieved! Still takes a little practice, but I’m satisfied with the blind now. Thank you!

[@buxnbullz]

I had the same issue!

[@ZMSkids-ss1fz]

rolled rhino blind around for 4 hours 😂before i finally googled it to close it. super helpful.

[@carolinagal5494]

I've been fighting with both the R100 and the Cut 'n Run for 2 hours because there are no instructions included in the boxes. It would have been nice to have it setup today, but glad to find instructions online.

[@timbert4622]

I bought my Rhino 200 ground blind this fall (2019) and I love it. It sets up in minutes and take down is a breeze.

[@rickyontiveroz6285]

Man you were a big help! Got the 150 and the paper instructions weren’t that clear on how to collapse it. Setting up was easy but took me forever to collapse until I found this video. Guys if you buy this blind I highly recommend setting it up and collapsing it before you hit the woods! Great blind once I got it figured out. Thanks!

[@mjr2470]

Mine must have been a return. The box was rough. Took it to my spot, took it out and it was all tangled. I was so pissed i didnt even go out first day. My wife and I spent an hour or more un tangling, taking the rods out of the hubs and putting them back one at a time. We got it yp only to find it had a tear in a roof corner. This video helped collapsing it and returning it. I hope the replacement is factory sealed.

[@barbaracox2435]

We just bought the Rhino 100, I watched this video and had it set up in lest than 5 minutes. Thanks for the video!!

[@stsid1]

You make it look so easy, took me for ever to get my 200 setup. I've done it three times and it's still a pain.

[@raequanmosley8258]

My R-180 is going on 2 years old now. In the first year i have had 2 poles break and there are rips and tears in it. The smaller window by the door does not stay closed. It sags due to rain stretching it out or something overtime. BUT i fixed the poles by replacing them with ones i bought from tractor supply and the blind is still standing. Its honestly not a bad little blind. But dont have it out while it’s snowing because you will have a broken blind real quick.

[@bjharney5307]

first mine did not fall exposing the four corners naturally. There was a big twist in the material where one pole was on the wrong side of two other poles.. He says "I pull this hub first", but doesn't say which hub that is. I had to pull too hard to get one to flex into place. Another ripped the sleeve holding it, and there was a crack of something breaking. Haven't located that yet. Quality Control needs to set these up and take them down before boxing them up. No printed instructions are included, cause there is no way to put them into words.

[@geraldyoung2787]

I have a Rhino 150, let me say that I have been trying to get it open for 3 days to no avail. It reminds me of a blind person trying to solve a rubix's cube. Back to Amazon it is going. Looks as if it was a return and they shipped it to me. I purchased a Rhino 200 today at Wal-Mart - out of the box and set up in less than 2 minutes. Rhine blinds a great hunting blinds - but not the one I got shipped to me from Amazon.

[@jimdishman2981]

Gerald, I must have gotten your returned one. Amazon.... geeez

[@NoOne-qs8tv]

Same here. The Amazon one won't open

[@garymiller2879]

Same here guys. It looked like someone had folded all the hubs and rods over then sent it back. I had to disconnect the rods from the cover, get inside and reassemble. Its in my yard airing out. Hopefully I can collapse it tomorrow.

[@jimdishman2981]

Ok, so I returned mine, got charged a restock fee. Not happy. However, bought the Rhino 180 from another vendor. Unpacked it, followed instructions to a tee, popped out just as it should. Yeah, got a little screwed.

[@toddandangelbrowning2920]

I got one of these the reviews were awesome. I broke a sweat I. My backyard trying to get that thing open. I had to take one of the rods loose to get it to fold lol. Took it the next day to set it up and wait on season to open when the same thing happened! I finally got it halfway open and tried to set the roof when one of the poles just crushed. I will never buy another rhino. I been hunting Ameristep before that. I knew better than to switch when Ameristep was working for me.

[@matthewlovings9999]

This is dark magic....my rhino blind is laughing at me watching this in the woods as I type.

[@jcmay427]

Best one I have watched on set up and take down great job

[@jamescox6342]

This was a huge help thank you so much. I had forgotten how to take it down fought with it in the wind out in the field until I found your video. Thanks again.

[@chuck8952]

He makes it look easy by using a blind that has been set up for a while. Believe me, a new one right out of the box ain't that easy. I took me about 15 minutes with mine in a warm garage. Maybe with 2 or 3 people you could do it in 30 seconds. When I took it out to the woods with 30 degree temperatures, it was even harder to set up. I even broke a rod so I am hoping to get a replacement. It would have helped if there was set-up instructions in the box, but there were none.

[@DesignatedDrinker12]

Right out of the box this thing is a HUGE pain in the ass. Takes a lot of practice.

[@jimdishman2981]

Ok. So, help Gerald and I understand how to get our blinds open correctly. Your video is all cute and everything, however, mine WILL NOT open like that. It came out of the bag inside out. Seriously. Blew my mind. Camp on the inside, what a concept!! What did I do wrong?

[@terryleblanc6868]

Yes they are inside out when you take them out it's a little tricky but watch the black go down and Camo up

[@totalrecall2267]

Mine had one corner inside out. I literally had to carefully bend rods and slide them out of their pockets then reassemble delicately in the same manner... I couldn't "pop" anything out!

[@rlc615206]

Helped thanks 👍

[@Tomcat1957]

After you pull the first panel up, be sue that all the fabric is released. Mine was folded over another panel and made it impossible. After releasing the fabric from each panel, I found the roof and it went up easy.Now I practice a few times and it's easy peasy

[@robertstives8742]

I had the same issue, one corner folded over another. The proper sequence in the video solved that, but it wasn’t in the printed instructions.

[@zerochaos360]

obvious questions such as what if the " natural side" is not easily identifiable.

[@andyweigel8375]

Still never goes this smoothly for me. Have they ever thought of numbering the tabs in the proper order to make it easier?

[@BroScience710]

Bought it based on this and cold in the field is not this easy! Especially on a new blind. Don't know if mine needs to break in or if he just picked the best build blind to show. Would love it if it wasn't for this.

[@zerochaos360]

(update) late fall 2019 - after fooling around with this a lot, trying printed instructions, test setups in the backyard, etc., I decided to call OPI. They walked me through a process that works repeatedly, is simple, and fast. So far, it's doing pretty good and if better than most of the comparable blinds (some of which I returned for low quality). (first comments) early fall 2019 - This really makes us upset. You show it just lying down and folding over during take-down. I've fooled with this thing for an hour and only gotten it to fold up one time and that was by accident.

[@jackcates8903]

You ain't lieing and than one of the rods broke on mine

[@curte7739]

@@jackcates8903 broke hubs on 3 of my Rhino blinds

[@walterm9124]

The reason he makes it look so easy is because the hubs/rods have been used alot and are broken in. I bought a new rhino 200 3 days ago and still have not gotten it up properly. Once it's up and in place I'm sure it is a good blind. But to get to that point is diffcult.

[@Appalachia_Ape]

Reading through these comments makes me feel alot better. I thought I was retarded but I would have never figured this blind out without watching this. The printed instructions just suck. That said, once you got it figured out, it's nice af. Love my rhino blind.

[@TheBartman55]

Is this the same way to setup and take down a 600 blind? The instructions that came with the 600 are completely different from this video. You are confusing me with two different ways of doing this and neither work. Help? Thanks

[@coryfrederick11]

Will this work with any brand of 5 hub blind?

[@alemusicandher]

Makes it look so easy. Unfortunately, with my Old Double Bull Matrix, one can not expand out and open the first wall by simply using one hand and pick it up and the weight of rest of the blind crates enough resistance to flip out the hub wall, especially in cold weather. The Hub/Wall System is so tight you have to push it up from underneath while holding down multiple corners. I'm laying on the ground looking like a drunk prospector trying leg wrestle s mountain goat, trying to pin down one corner with each foot while pushing up the center from underneath. Once that first wall is expanded though, it's easy street.

[@hoosierhunter5121]

Apparently he must of set up this blind 100 times to get it so loose, I have a rhino 150 which looks exactly like the 200 and I set it up for the 1st time this week and it took me near 10 minutes to set it up and at the end, I could only find 1 of the stake loops, maybe Rhino should loosen this blind up and make the stake loops hunter orange so you can find them. Also, the windows are very difficult to find and use, I would suggest again to make the I would rate the window opening areas hunter orange and put instructions on how to open the windows on the openers on or near the area usually hunter orange and simple and short instructions so you can see them

[@jcmay427]

Which is better rhino 150 or the rhino 200 I am trying to decide which one I want

[@derekkline8359]

Mine isn’t opening up right theres a problem with one of the corners and doesn’t start out with the square at the top any suggestions

[@lordkodie6891]

same issue

[@totalrecall2267]

Same effing issue...junk!

[@rayyanko512]

Still can’t figure this Rhino 200 blind out I can open it but can’t close it . Already returned 2 that were previously opened and returned by previous buyers HELP Should not be this hard

[@igotajopamerica3040]

I bet he didn't just pull that off the production line. Not a bad blind just doesn't set up that easy or take down that easy. I actually just bought one and watched video a tried to do what this guy did. Doesnt work that easy even with two people. 1. Becareful becouse that you don't twist the poles inside at plastic joint.take your time and don't force even on take down.I can see a potential to snap.I like the system just seems like cheap joints like on the folding chairs at soccer games. Mine wouldnt lay that flat at the beginning poles were boundup on the plastic joint.I carefully adjusted(twist) them so the metal rod would fall in the slot.(on both putting up and taking down. Once you get two sides pushed out like an umbrella,then it should go smoother after that. Once up the is ample room I think two adults and a kid would fit nice(maybe person behind taking video). The big window goes around two sides ( wrap around window)you can set it with the front on a flat side,but almost design as the corner being the front.I actually like this and the little window screens are velcroed in and you can open them up for shooting. The big window are hooks at the top the way around for screen and inside window cover. Door have plastic clips and a center big clip to hold shut. This blind will keep the rain off and give you cover,but is not air tight at the door or the windows to keep your heat all in but will definitely help(better than sitting on a log on a windy rainy snowy cold day. I would say its a great fall or spring blind. But even I'm going to be using it in the snow for deer hunting. After getting it I realize it would make a nice Turkey blind for next year. I think them are some of the things to know before buying. I myself fell this blind is pretty nice for the price and I would buy it again at this point. I have kids that are young some are hunting now. I have another pop-up set up so kids want to go with me(usually hunt in a stand,but not big enough for two) But bought this one becouse I got premission to hunt different property and needed something for kids and I to sit in as we scope this new place out. Buy it.

[@dlite6358]

NOT SO EASY AS VIDEO SHOWS. Mine got twisted and a pole split. A quick wrap with Gorilla Tape and all good. However, upside is the wind will not fold it up like other blinds!

[@michaelhathorn8706]

PLEASE DO THIS AT HOME 1ST I FOUGHT MINE TILL I WAS BLUE IN THE FACE yes I did not look at no details

[@curte7739]

I bought 3 rhino hub blinds last year put them in place on my farm upon taking them down I broke hubs on all 3 , I guess you're not supposed to slap the hubs inward supposed to push them easily. Truth be known they should be more durable than that I expect durability out of of my hunting gear.

[@diehardcountry]

Mine was put together wrong too. Spent 20 mins in woods trying to open it. Left it sitting there in pile. Negative 100 stars on this junk

[@devensimpson3334]

I tried to do the same thing as he did but when I opened it wouldn't do any of THAT to be honest it's probably the most stupid blind you could ever buy SERIOUSLY!!!!!

[@johng0908]

I tried to follow the directions, now 5 of the poles have come out of wherever they were placed. And I ripped it trying to set it up. So far, I hate it.

[@terryleblanc6868]

OK great, the crucial point is to have one side on top when closing up

[@joshhaden1387]

the pop out straps ain’t workin

[@TrumpDesantis-zm3kg]

Trying to open it the last two hours, back to walmart she goes. At the very least it's a 2 man job which isn't practical

[@simonlambert8479]

[@jaswayne3373]

I've been trying to pop open a 600 for about a hour now I'm about to throw it away! My hub ice fishing shelter sets up in 30 sec this things garbage waste of $300

[@Mendi_23]

I would not recommend this stand to anyone! Great idea but extremely hard to set up in the field. “Should come out easily is an understatement. I’m currently in the field trying to set this up for the last 30min. Completely wasted my hunt and I’m 90% sure I’ve broken this stand. Not worth the money. Stay away!!

[@jmelkis]

First day I managed to set it up. Second day I just about destroyed it.

[@shanecircle1236]

I wouldn’t buy this blind. Paid $129 at Walmarts. One rod on a hub broke on first set up. Only one area to shoot out of. Light holes already show. Door opening is small. I’m going to get a traditional one with tent poles and shooting zippers. I was not impressed.

[@jonathanbauer2224]

This is misleading. It’s like mine is tied in a knot right out of the box!

[@OraleVato]

I have the Rhino 300, what a piece of TRASH. Tried to set up this garbage blind for 1 hour...the Chinese must have put my this trash blind together wrong before it left the factory in Guangdong.

[@cristianmorales3633]

This shit does not work
