Cabelas Ulitimate Layout blind feedback needed

[freefall319]

Do any of you have the Cabelas Ultimate Layout blind? Or have you seen them in person? I am thinking about picking one up but wanted to get some feedback before I do.

Got a buddy who bought one.
they are nice , roomy ,pretty well made.
the only thing i dont like is
1-the way the doors are made to open(pinned)
2-the way it folds up.

What do you mean by pinned?

[deadduck6]

i helped him put it together,
if remember correctly the doors fasten to the frame with a type of quick pin.
um......kinda hard to explain,the frame has a bracket shaped like a ''U''.
the door fits inside this ''U'' shape bracket and the has a pin that goes thru to hold them
together.

not a real good explanation but hope this helps.

I have a cabelas layout. not sure what the model is. I like it havent had any complaints. but I dont fold the blind up because it takes to much time. and its a pain in the dark. Other than that it has worked fine for 3 years. I beat on my equipment really bad. It has fell out of the truck once or twice and held up.

i believe the pins have to be taken out in order for the
blind to fold up.and then put back in everytime you reassemble it.
this can be tricky when its 10 degrees out and in the dark.

Good to know, thanks guys. Guess i'll go with the Power Hunter and a NeoTub.

The power hunter sucks, I hate that thing. Your better off getting a sleeping bag and a mojo ghilie.

I will second that on the Power Hunter. I won one at a DU waterfowler night and was ready to get rid of it when I won a Finisher at another waterfowler's night. I only kept the PH for when I take someone that doesn't have a blind yet and let them experience how uncomfortable that blind is compated to others.

If I were you I'd take a look at a GHG Ground Force or Avery Finisher. They are only $150 on the Avery forum in the Company Store.
