A man could build his own as a summer project if he had the time, area for working, and materials. Build it to fit on a trailer so as to haul it to the set-up location.
All you have to do is frame it in out of wood, use screen/chicken wire and foam to rough in the desired shape and then cover it in fiberglass. Paint it like you want and you have a nice warm, dry, deer blind.

I see them advertised on hunting shows. Great idea, i guess. But since its not really portable it seems like you could just brush in a permanent ground blind and do the same thing plus keep several thousand dollars in your pocket. But thats just me, i guess.

Wow, $3500 according to a website I looked at...if you were to buy this thing Obama would be after your @ss. Anyone that can afford this thing should be paying more taxes.

You are correct. I've been building fake logs/trees for 20+ years. I make silicone negative sheets from tree bark and stamp them into concrete. I could do something similar for a grand EASY- that's including my labor. Not knocking them for selling'em. If you got that kind of money and want to buy it have at it.

You know the funny thing is, I set mine out in Early November in a picked bean field with no cover around it and hunted in it Dec. 1st. I had to press my head against the window to watch a couple deer pass by and they almost had to hit the legs on the way by. I was going to brush the legs in but never had the time, but had deer within 20 yards of the blind several times without spooking them.
