The ultimate DIY hunting blind.

More homestead and construction content like this please. Super helpful and inspiring.

At the 4:16 time in the video, the man wearing the blue T-shirt, >bent his knees, when picking up the tank. The weight was lifted more with his legs. ... Nate had the weight fulcrumed more on his back (specially the small vertebrates). A strong young man can use the strength in his back, when young. But, slight injuries add up to a sore back when older.

Nice ending ❤, “your great grandchildren will see the joy of hunting you’ve had before them “ …awesome job and will be an awesome story..cheers !!

[@adublbeatz8656]

Love DIY stuff. Especially hunting. What a great idea and investment. We have built all of our hunting stands. This year will be my first build on a 6'x6'. Now that my wife hunts with me more, and my older kids and nephews now want to give it a shot. So Im going to get some friends to help me build a couple of bigger stands on the property. Really hope I can run across one of these. Thanks for the video.

[@denislosieroutdoors]

That is an awesome idea, I will keep an eye out for a damaged tank. Thanks for sharing

[@stotz31]

What a great idea. Most impressive Great to see father and son projects

[@trevorlamble3645]

I built one out of a kids playhouse last year. Raised it up with old decking, put ice shield on the roof n painted her up

[@RRinTN]

Very nice... Just a thought... I would add some rain guard... A way to keep rain from coming in from off the top or blowing in the windows.

[@southernprepper1]

We have tried a few things but nothing we like. It might be some metal flashing layed flat and chalked. It only has to stick out about 1 inch or more to drip it away. We saved the plastic pieces we cut out so after season we can put them in but the flashing cant interfere with the pieces after we put them in.

[@phil36135]

All I can say is Awesome!!! I love seeing a family that' sticks together. Im so very blessed to have all my kids and grandkids right here close to me.God bless you both SP1 & SP2

[@JohnSmith-gn3ql]

Have them keep every brass shell from their deer and make a wood presentation piece with holes to place the brass in

[@southernprepper1]

Love it.

[@Cincinnatis]

It would be cool to mark the interior wall with yardages to land marks around. Kind of a dope sheet for anything animals could be lingering around. Since the blind is fixed you can always have a rough estimate of yardage.

[@billparks7368]

Great setup! It's great that your whole family will have been involved over the years to come. In a dire emergency it could be used as a bug out location. In that case maybe paint the deck to have it harder to see from the air.

[@swithers00]

And maybe paint the picnic table too.

[@billparks7368]

I have been looking for a deer blind idea that wouldn't be terribly expensive, and would last. This is smart.

[@dawncierelli1510]

That is awesome Dave!!😊

[@erinsuzy613]

That's awesome. You'll have to update on how you like it and how much airflow the screens offer in the heat.

[@mikhailkalashnikov4599]

That's the coolest DIY hunting blind project I've seen. I was thinking you might save those window cut outs and postition above the windows as a quasi-awning. In case you get a driving rain storm it might help keep some sideways rain out of your shoot house.

[@David-us3sr]

Really cool build and great ideas for the family hunt and camp. Bet your boys can't wait to go hunting with Grandpa and Dad hopefully you can bag some wild pigs also because they are a crop destroyer for all the farmers in South Carolina

[@warlockcommandcenter]

This is a great repurpose of an old water tank

[@brenton1865]

Very cool I remember you showed that tank in an older video when it was broken, great idea!

Super cool project! Can't wait to see footage of the boy using it.

[@lukedawg357SIG]

That turned out great thanks for the video y'all have a blessed weekend.

[@davej7458]

You obviously work well together, excellent. Just as you do, people need to know what they are doing now is for their children and their children"s children. If you don't have children look for a good people to help and be close with. A life with purpose that helps others is the cornerstone of our civilization and it is now slipping away.

[@joefw2446]

FABULOUS. I love it guys. 👍👍 .

[@PalmettoParatrooper]

That's very cool and super creative.

[@oldstoner-xn4pe]

Just to name a few items off the top of my head that I would have used its tank for instead of a hunting blind Hot tub, cold Plunge tub or pool.... and in a shtf you could still use that water. Root cellar A fallout shelter A shower or Sana / steam room A storage room Place to store animal feed A refurbished water storage tank. A treehouse for the kids A chicken coop Part of a septic system like putting an outhouse over the top of it and running a leach field out from it. Rain water system for a garden And the uses are countless for a prepper, a survivalist or somebody that's just got property. Animals cannot only see you but they can hear and smell you. Most states require for hunting that you must have Orange on you so that others won't mistaken you for an animal. Also most western states prohibit baiting for any animal, require special licenses for trapping and prohibit the use of blinds on public and private land. KNOW YOUR STATE fish and game laws and be aware that they change from year to year

[@xo2quilt]

It was cracked/broken on the bottom which would make it unable to contain liquids and would allow bugs/rodents access. A chicken coop (may allow access for snakes) or a treehouse are your only two suggestions that would possibly work. He made something that will serve his family for many years.

[@oldstoner-xn4pe]

@@xo2quilt they have epoxy to repair those tanks. And you can put a rubber membrane around it. It could have been repaired professionally for less than $200 less than what he spent on the pressure treated wood. You do realize those are made at the factory in different molds in the epoxy it together to make the tank the top and the bottom are separate the lids are separate and it's all epoxy together

[@williamtinlin9789]

Great vid gents !!!

[@larrylewis9132]

I think Nate is doing most of the pulling lol😅

[@arlissyoung8899]

From the prices I seen on these water tanks the last thing I would do is hack it up unless it's beyond repair. Been wanting one for some time now but they can be hard to get and coast a lot.

[@rogermilholland2341]

I like the concept...but up north where I am....it would be a tough cold season....

[@JefF-rv7gp]

Nice job, can't wait to see it get used !

[@avatargunner6776]

Wow that is so cool looking. You can use that for anything hunting or just enjoying the wildlife. I am curious does it have drain holes inside so when it rains the water that comes through the windows have somewhere to go?

[@sandraking9650]

Think he's going to put or make reflectors for rain elements.

[@sinclairpages]

I like this idea for a hunting blind.

What size tank is that? I know it’s gotta be over 500 gallons.💁🏼‍♂️ that was a good idea. Would’ve never thought of that.

[@southernprepper1]

Close to 2000 gallons. I will look on the container next time I am over there.

It's probably better built than anything you could buy from a retailer.

[@larrylapierre2295]

[@ShortbusMooner]

Great idea! 👍

[@JohnSmith-hm7eh]

Great idea, SouthernPrepper1. Too bad about the crack occurrence, that cracked the floor. ... I wouldn't trust a patch repair in an old plastic tank floating out on a lake. = When I first saw the opening, I thought you might be installing a pair of big moto duck-wings on the blind, and cruise a lake or pond, to duck hunt. Deer hunting will be fun in the plastic tank; much better than the fabric tent blind. ...

Excellent...

[@justnana2256]

I love country ingenuity. Why pay so much more for something that's not half as nice? ❤️👍🇺🇲

[@amydaisy933]

Nice! Is that made of fiberglass? Do you put something over it when youre not using it so rain wont get inside? Or is the floor weatherproof? Thanks for sharing

[@389Lee]

What kind of tank is this? I mean what is it normally used for and where do you get them?

Pretty cool I like the history part Is it on your land Or a friends

[@norton750cc]

Wow, what a job well done...... the tank cut sections could have been hinged to close off some of or all of the windows for winter . Just saying, no foul. Big cred to you and your son.
