Oh man, I hear ya!! I have a doghouse blind that I use sometimes. I feel like I'm in a wrestling match every time I try to fold it!! :roll: I usually get it on the third or fourth try having no idea what I did to make it work!! All I know is I'm usually thoroughly out of breath by the time I'm finished and I always do the look around hoping no one watched me wrestle with my blind!! :lol:

I picked up a hub style blind from gander mountain on sale for around $80 last year, much easier to put away!! 8)

lmao!! Just run at it and do a big ole belly flop on it. You may become trapped in it but it will fold! :lol:

Tricky at first but once you get the hang of it t's fairly simple. Good luck. :)

Yeah I used one before and they are a royal pain until you figure it out. I switched to a hub style now much easier. Good luck with it.

I feel your pain, i'm 6' 4" and old with a quick temper, 8)
I bought one in 2000, so I thought I would put it together at home the 1rst. time,
of course I had a audience,that I didn,t need,
but what the h#ll I am reasonably smart :roll:
so it went really nice, :)
well then my darling Wife, :roll: said good job babe, now take it down and put it back in that (little bag) with a bit of a snikker, :x
so I thought o.k. i'll show her, so I looked at the instructions, :? piece of cake, :roll:
so I commenced to fold it up, like the picture showed, :roll:
well after about 1 hr. and the sweat pouring off me.
and more laughter than I could handle, I tore into that thing to show it who was smarter, it or me :wink:
well when I got done with that son%$#@ it was in the bag, :shock: BUT, :shock:
when I took it out later for the deer season and put it up, somehow it didn,t look the same, :shock: it was kinda twisted up and knarly looking, :roll:
well I tied it to everything close enough and it stayed up, :P
but when I got inside,it had even less room than it had before,
so I just pushed out the humps and called it a success, :oops:

Dave :oops: :oops:

BTW I don't have it anymore, I have a hub style. :lol: :lol: :wink:

Right! And then you don't use it for a year or so, and back to square 1, remembering all the while why you cursed it, wanted to abuse it, and wonder why you can't remember such a simple thing as putting this contraption back in a tight-fitting bag!

I can take my DB Matrix down and have it folded in less than a minute. Takes about 1 1/2 minutes to put it up in the mornings and that is starting with it in the bag.
