I Never Thought We Would Do This! (Boat Blind Build)

[@Brad-rk1ew]

Could you put a link for the ghillie blanket and nylon material please?

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

I don’t have a link for the nylon. But the ghillie blanket was from. www.Ranchosafari.com I got the 4 seasons color

[@andrewwesthoff7416]

@@FreelanceDuckHunting can you pin this? I saw a lot of guys looking for it in the comments. Thanks! That is an amazing boat blind!

[@BS-dt1nb]

I’m not sure if his is… but they have waterproof polyester material online. Not sure which is best sorry.

[@CATM1985]

@@FreelanceDuckHunting how long after you ordered before you got the material? Was trying to call the guy but he doesn’t seem to respond.

[@thedub7467]

That blind is awesome!

[@dannymadrigal7578]

Do you have any more details/schematics for the boat blind?? Yours looks sweet and would love to make one like that as well!

[@crexhuntclub]

Big dump at 8:15

[@ODLid1]

Is The wind backer way hot not letting a breeze blow though when it’s not cold out?

[@TooManyHobbies]

This is hands down the best boat blind design I've seen, this is incredible!

[@peterlederer7674]

I love how dedicated you are to all things duck hunting and waterfowling related. It's really inspiring and keeps the dog days of summer interesting with ur videos. Any update on if Danny boy will join u again this year?

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Thank you Peter! Actually just hung out with him a couple days ago. I don’t know how much he’s going to hunt but he will definitely be hunting some this year!

[@dannyneal9713]

Could you please do a more detailed video how your blind works and is put together please. That thing looks awesome!!

[@arlanjohnson8841]

Really like the blind concept, I’m in the process of making that blind out of EMT conduit and would like a close up picture of the adjuster either from you Elliot or Charlie, thanks. Great videos!

[@ClarksOutdoors]

I love the look of that blind material. Where did you find that material at?

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

That blind is slick! Love it! I can now say I’ve parked by that leaning barn

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

You’re lucky it didn’t fall down and crush your car

[@nickciuffo8118]

This by far the best DIY blind I think I’ve seen.

[@dannyneal9713]

What’s making the legs stop in that position is it friction from the bolt being tight or is there a locking mechanism that I’m just not seeing?

[@Ratblood2003]

Looks like there is a tab by the back upright that sticks out and stops the upright.

[@dannyneal9713]

@@Ratblood2003 thank u I’m trying to build this one myself and any help and tips I can get is awesome. This one of the better designs I have seen on utube in forever

[@chadschwegel2712]

Where did you get the ghillie material from? Been looking for something like this for weeks.

[@mazaratee1548]

Hahaha at 8:15 in the upper left corner there is a major drop.

[@NVGUY4732]

That is the best DIY boat blind design I have seen. Well Done!!!

[@samanthabaker9414]

What does the blind stop on as far as keeping the top from going to far and folding back down I know there's a strap to keep it up tight

[@HokeOutdoors]

Boat is looking great and that setup has me thinking of redoing our old blind. Really admire your commitment to finding solutions to keep Fumbles out in the field

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Thanks Thomas

[@natemckinley68]

I love the dog in the background doin it’s business at 8:15

[@drewcannon8748]

Some of the finest design Ideas I have ever seen .Thank you for sharing...

[@thomasjohnson3793]

From the Great Northwest public Duck Blind Elliott that is one of the best choices I've seen made on a boat for being homemade very well-thought-out boat looks great this year and yes it will make fumbles and you a whole lot more comfortable remember sitting in a tree and trading out waders just to stay dry put a nice heater in there and remember to create a spot for your dog to always be that way they know their place in the boat okay enough for me God bless from the northwest October's coming

[@enuff2bdangerous]

HydroTurf is the only way to go! I do recommend running the grooves the length of the boat for draining purposes. Well done build!

[@taylordenham1277]

Hey Elliot, looks great! Where did you get the nylon material from? Looking to do the same on my boat blind.

[@jacobdouglas818]

Where did you find the adjustment plates for adjusting the height of the doors?

[@TravisHobbsOutdoors]

I wore a headband while I was watching this.

[@jaybird1970]

What camo netting brand did you use and what pattern

[@markeldridge2828]

You need to sit down and write up some in instruction on how to build it with Charlie

[@LarryJohnson7]

Here in Southern Ontario the nights are already getting cooler. ITS ALMOST THAT TIME

[@DuckGunChronicles]

Super cool blind I need another boat for one of these 🤙🤙 awesome vid Elliott

[@joshharrington6059]

This is by far the best blind set up in a boat I’ve seen. Charlie needs to file a patent on this thing. Awesome

[@furfeatheroutdoors8681]

Love this blind build! I think I’m gonna do a very similar build because of the simplicity of it! One question I have is how does it lock when raised? Seemed sturdy even without the strap. Was curious about that thanks! Keep up the great videos! ~Justin from Fur and feather outdoors

[@TheSleepyHunter]

Can't wait to see it in action! I like that you show how you put together your gear, kayaks and now this...thanks for sharing!

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Thank you! I enjoy sharing it

[@FinalFlightWaterfowl]

Awesome man. One suggestion is i would have went with aluminum but a solid design nonetheless

[@charlesradford3811]

I used steel cause I could weld it and it's cheaper. Weight isn't a problem.

[@ronblackburn3683]

Holy crap! I’ve been a rank amateur boat blind builder for 50 years. This guy Charlie is the real deal. Does he want investors?

[@charlesradford3811]

You're welcome to build and sell all you want. If it's a success send me a bottle of whiskey.

[@notjoelaporta]

@@charlesradford3811 do you remember what that vinyl material is and where you bought it from?

[@randymerta3406]

Got any videos of your blind in action out hunting? Do you have any wouldas couldas or shouldas?

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

I may do that.

[@SomewhereInWisconsin]

That's a heck of a blind. Hope he got a patent on that, because someone big is going to copy it....... Great video!

[@notjoelaporta]

Please ask your friend what that nylon material is and where he got it from. I’ve been looking to do something similar and coming up empty handed. Thanks.

[@carterdubberley2378]

Mr. Radford was one of my grandpas old war buddies. He always says he’s envious of the ducks we shoot up here because y’all don’t have as many as you used to down there. Awesome video!

[@Drblood6721]

Honestly best blind idea I have seen. So easy and quick to set up. Trying to think how I could change it for use in my side console 1660 seaark. What size boat. Any chance he's got the specs or willing to sell them?!

[@Brad-rk1ew]

Any chance you may know what kind of adjusters those are on the top bar that also help set the door height? Looking to do a build like this, but for the life of me I can’t figure out what type of part this is.

[@HaleYeahFishing]

Awesome job on the boat!! If possible can you please get more info on the material used behind the camo? I am currently using tarps and they are very shiny/reflective and I want to replace them. Thanks

[@cmack003]

How much Charlie I'll drive up!

[@Ragin__Cajun]

I’ve been doin a lot of lookin on KZbin gettin ideas to build my own and this is by far the best one I’ve seen so far they deserve props

Wow awesome blind I have a avery quick set on mine and that looks much faster to set up than mine I think Charlie should start producing them things I would take one

[@kirkrhatigan2575]

This is way I've all do respect for the old timers, duck hunters they have seen it all, it is the best boat blind I've seen and I have the bustem blind, awesome job

[@mikekalva6095]

I would like to come down from Wisconsin and have you put one on my boat is that a possibility

[@jasonvelasquez6673]

The dude should make these commercially....great design for sure.

[@zacharycharles5987]

If you drilled one more hole in the riser when it’s up, you could use a cotter pin on a wire to hold it up instead of the strap. Connect the wire to the swivel bolt and you would never lose it.

[@dustinsharp5651]

Where can i find the adjustable cams? I want to build a blind like this as well

[@jaceeisele6139]

Love the set up what size square tubing did you guy's use and what was the cost at the end

How much in materials roughly you think it was bud?

[@chucksmith5002]

Man that looks good gives me an idea with mine I made a frame and used Camo Burlap not bad it worked but I want something better . Enjoyed it Elliot

[@jakejames1603]

That is impressive! Beats the home made scissor blind I put on mine for this season. I was thinking about changing to a hard sided blind next season but I may try this instead. Good work and great video!!

[@thomasclayon9143]

This is the best duck boat that I have ever seen! Better than the scissor type by a mile.

[@timberbosscalls]

Also how is it locking into place?

Great looking blind, do you recall what camo pattern you chose? Yours looks like it would do well in my area. I noticed on the rancho website they had a kayak blind that I think would fit well on my old town 119 sportsman. Thank you

Nice work, Eliot. I hunt out of a boat blind when I want to be comfortable. I don't hunt out of a boat blind when I want to kill ducks. We all have our preferences. I like seeing how other guys do it, too.

followed your link to the Ghille Blanket and got this "We are not taking any new orders due to inflation and staffing issues. Thank you for your understanding." any othert sources? how has the boat worked out for you.

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

That's the only resource I know of. I'm not really into boat blind hunting. We put it on there because my dad is getting older and I want to try to get him out some. But we have only used it during teal season. It's a good blind, I just dont really use it much.
