  Wow! Pretty elaborate blinds!  With sleeping arrangements, one could spend several days there.

Nice
More windows than I would
want for myself.

I hunted as a guest at a place
where the guy had one up on a
mesa that had a bunk and a
solar fan and television and a
porta potty inside.  He made
coffee and meals and stayed
right there his entire trip

i recently added a set of stairs with hand rail . best part of the stairs was it was free. it was taken out of a house because of a remodel. all i had to do was drag it a few hundred yard back to the spot . used the winch on the quad to pick it up into place which turned out to be so easy ,it was like it was made for it . i do feel the need to get some paint on it . BTW i did  spend several days there , not that i wanted to .

one of the bigger problems i found in spending the night ,as in all of the night, the nights are rather long  that time of year . i tend to only sleep 6 hours .

Yeah, but it'd pretty much be the
same in his RV.  Potty, meals, coffee,
entertainment, etc.
Of course, everybody's different.
Myself,  I've always had a hard time
figuring how anybody can be "bored "
while camping, hunting, or fishing.
There's always something to do or see
