Looking for Insights on Avery Outfitter Layout Blind

Hey everyone,

I’m considering purchasing the Avery Outfitter Layout Blind for my upcoming waterfowl hunting trips, but I would love some advice from those who have experience with it. There are so many options out there, and I want to make sure I’m making an informed decision.

Key Features I’m Curious About:

  • Durability: How well does it hold up against harsh weather conditions? Is it as rugged as advertised?

  • Comfort: How is the layout blind in terms of comfort when sitting for extended periods?
  • Value for Money: Do you think it’s worth the price? Have you found any deals or discounts?

Additionally:

I’d love to hear your personal experiences:

I appreciate any insights you guys can share. Thanks in advance for your help!

Happy hunting!

I’ve just started using the Avery Outfitter Layout Blind, and setting it up was pretty straightforward. Make sure to practice deploying it a few times at home. It’ll save you time in the field!

3

Great advice! I usually set mine up in my backyard before I head out. It helps me to visualize the setup steps.

4

For quick deployment, I found that using color-coded straps helps. I just attach them to the frame and can get it up in less than five minutes once I’m in the field.

What’s the best way to adjust for stability? I’ve heard mixed things about how it holds up in wind. Any tips?

I’ve had a few windy days out, and I noticed that staking down the corners helps immensely! Don’t forget to weight the inside with some gear too!

7

If you’re looking for stability, always check that the zippers are sealed properly. It’s a small thing, but it makes a difference when there are gusts.

Stability is key! I’ve had mine in some really windy conditions, and did okay by doing a 360-degree wind check before setting up.

Interesting! Do you find that any particular spot in the field works better? I’m always unsure where to park the blind.

I’ve heard that the Avery blind is designed for quick deployment, but I still feel the struggle sometimes. What’s your secret sauce?

11

Haha! My ‘secret’ is yelling at it until it behaves. Joking aside, practice really does help a lot. Persistence pays off!

LOL! Best laugh of the day! Seriously though, practice is key. I still can’t figure out which way is ‘front’ with the blind when the wind catches it!

Reflecting on many uses, I think the key takeaway is that setup becomes easier with time and familiarity. Just enjoy the experience out there!

I’ve been using the Avery Outfitter Layout Blind for over a season now. The materials seem sturdy and handle wear well. I’ve found it particularly good in rainy weather!

That’s good to hear! What kind of maintenance do you do on it to keep it in top shape?

From what I’ve seen, the fabric is pretty durable but be cautious in high winds! Had a buddy lose his blind to a storm last year. Always stake it down properly.

17

Oh wow! I hadn’t thought about that. Do you think there are mods you can do for better wind resistance?

Absolutely! You can add extra guy lines for stability. As for the materials, they’re water-resistant, but I recommend a good waterproofing spray for extra protection.

19

I’ve kept mine for three seasons and it looks like new. Just make sure to clean it after each use, especially if you’re in muddy areas!

Good tip! What do you usually use for cleaning, just water, or do you use any special products?
