Barrel blind
Okay guys i'm changing up my blind from a platform blind and looking for something alot lower that i can brush with salt grass. Someone posted some pictures of some blinds made with barrels but i don't remember who it was. Please give me some suggestions and plans on what i can use.
Thanks, chris |

Quackhead62 has some nice ones he might have some pics laying around. If your doing it in the marsh jäger pump is the way to go when you sink them. My uncle has a piece of PVC pipe he melted the end on. Fill the barrel with water and stab all around it while someone stands in and rocks it back and forth. It sinks right in. Now don't ask me how they don't pop up.

I thought I had some pix with out brush but I don't. We have some over-pack drums. I have used regular 55 gal they work just not as comfortable. All we did was dig the holes in the marsh and fill them full of water them drive 3- 8' 2X4's and lag bolt them to the barrels. Never had one pop up in 15 years. Here is a pic of how it looks all brushed up. uploadfromtaptalk1390954983299.jpg

Here's one of my buddy's he has these barrels cut in half and and built a platform on top if them you sit on the platform.

To me sunken blinds are the way to go in the marsh. Your profile is alot lower.

The big thing is you have to put the drums far enough apart to stick brush in between

I stole an idea from Ttop. It's basically plastic drums cut in half. Then you build a frame around them with a seat on the back. 6 2x4's for anchors and your done. Lower profile than a true platform but not quite as low as a sunken blind. Quick, easy, and cheap. We also added a dog stand to the end and a boat hide on the back side.

These are the ones we built. I think you can search his old post and maybe come up with something.

Rubbermaid 100 gallon water troughs make a pretty sweet setup.
