I have had an Avery blind for six years now. I bought the neotub to go with it. I can hunt in 10 inches of water. I like the portablity idea. If you hunt the refuges you need to be mobile. If you take the time to set up a make shift blind and the birds are flying a different route you are stuck. I set up right at the waters edge and get great kill shots. It is really neat to swing those doors open and see the ducks react. Got that OH SH** reaction. I also like it because if I find a field the birds are in and there is no blinds I can set it up and hunt with the owners permission. I hunted a field once which had grass all over in the pond. It was rather big and the birds only wanted to be in the middle. So I set up my blind in the middle of the pond and placed dekes all around me. The birds had no clue I was there til they heard the boom. First thing to do is mud the blind as instructed and leave it to dry a couple days. What I did next was I went to Hobby lobby and bought 8 or 9 packs of that straw people us to make Holloween scare crows. If you want you can dye it in a color which matches you area. I then just loop knotted it all over the blind using the area you slid grass through. It gave me something to work with in an instant and if I needed more to dress the blind I would just add to it from the field. It did not add any weight and I could still fold it. If you have anymore questions hit me up!
