How To Transport Gear To A Permanent Pit Blind?

Planning and Preparation

Before transporting gear to your permanent pit blind, plan the route and distance to ensure you have a clear path to the blind. Consider the weight and size of your gear, including decoys, blind furniture, and hunting equipment. Designate a specific area near the blind for gear storage to keep your surroundings organized and clutter-free.

Transporting Gear

Use a sturdy dolly or wagon to move heavy items such as decoys, blind furniture, and hunting equipment from the vehicle to the blind. A 2-wheel dolly with a capacity of 200-300 pounds is ideal for most waterfowl hunting gear. Once you reach the blind, transfer the gear to a portable cart or pulley system to make it easier to move items into the blind.

Setting Up the Blind

Position the gear in the blind, keeping essential items within easy reach. Consider using a blind organizer or storage system to keep gear tidy and within arm’s reach. For a 12’ x 12’ pit blind, a pulley system with 2-3 ropes can help move gear into the blind, making it easier to set up and break down each day.
