put camo on this frame and it could double as a pop up blind.

Looking for a chair swivel bracket to attach to my Pac Seat for summer heat whitetails. Found some to hook to a beach chair but Pac Seat is 1" tube.
In My Teepee I tied a Pc of Cord Around the Poles to allow water to run down the cord rather than drip onto my liner. Could tie a pc of 550 around the tether and let the water run down to drip off it in front of you.

Does the pitter patter of the rain on the umbrella right above you in the stand not drive y’all nuts!? Or am I just crazy?
I've never used one but we kill a lot of deer and groundhogs in the blistering heat of summer. Thinking a little shade on the PacSeat might be nice!

Ahh yes I forgot you can use them for shade also lol
That and it rurns your feathers too.
When all you fellas get old you will know better than to hunt in the rain.

I’m 35 and even as a child I knew better than to hunt in the rainWhen all you fellas get old you will know better than to hunt in the rain.
Whew, I thought I was getting old, must be I haven't gotten there yet.When all you fellas get old you will know better than to hunt in the rain.
Seriously though, with all the lake effect rain we get here in October, if I didn't hunt in the rain it would cut my hunting season effectively in half.

Agreed, I avoid hunting in the rain but some years here in Louisiana it’s unavoidable if I wanna hunt at all. I always felt bad for the PacNW guys I’d imagine they get wet a lot while hunting.

I feel for you hunters in the high rainfall states. I have an aversion to skinning wet animals even though I used to get some really close shots stalking in a light rainfall. I am fortunate to be able to obtain enough venison while staying dry these days.

You just have to think of it the same way as inertubing down the river,swimming in the lake or surfing....its not so bad.besides blacktails and alot of other wild animals love the rain.the stormyer the better.

Some good rain gear would be the better option rather than messing around with a umbrella. If its storming so hard that a rain suit doesnt suffice I dont want to be hanging in a tree any ways.
Some folks look forward to vacation on the beach! I'm ready to sit in the shade in a bean field and shoot some jerky queens...

Well the double purpose of getting shade when its hot got me thinking then i saw these 10 dollar kids umbrellas and swooped them.
they are little but fit in a backpack and they are light.could set one on the ground as a blind to block leg movement
