A mobile blinds apparatus that installs along a raised platform for hunting is presented. The mobile blinds apparatus contains at least one rod, at least one blinds sheet, and at least one blinds anchor. Each of the at least one rod contains a mounting end. The mounting end is terminally positioned adjacent to the at least one rod. Each of the at least one blinds sheet traverses along each of the at least one rod. Each of the at least one blinds anchor is connected adjacent to the mounting end.

A stowable and deployable shelter may include a frame structure with a first support arch pivotably attached to a base at a pair of pivot points, and a second support arch pivotably attached to the first support arch via a pair of slidable hinges. The slidable hinges are positioned to translate along the first support arch toward and away from the pair of pivot points. In some embodiments, at least one of the slidable hinges comprises a locking mechanism for releasably locking the at least one slidable hinge at a selected location along the first support arch. In some embodiments, the hinges may be fixed instead of being slidable. The support arches support a fabric shell to form an interior of the shelter. The base may include a sled container having runners for sliding through snow or across terrain.

Disclosed herein are novel personal pop-up pods designed for a single user. In one embodiment, a personal pop-up pod can provide a user with privacy and/or protection from the surrounding environment. The personal pop-up pods can be designed such that a user can remain mobile, i.e., able to move from one location to another while using a personal pop-up pod. The personal pop-up pods can be designed such that a user can selectively gain access to the environment surrounding the pop-up pod by opening windows and other points of access. The personal pop-up pods can protect the user form a variety of conditions surrounding the personal pop-up pods such as, for example, rain, snow, wind, low temperatures, and other such climate related elements or communicable diseases and other such health risks.

The present invention is directed to an apparatus for securing brush to a fixed wooden object to create a hunting blind, the apparatus having a screw having a head and a tip at opposing ends of the screw, the head having a head diameter; and a flange secured to the screw proximate the head, the flange being substantially circular and having a top surface, a base, a flange diameter at least twice the head diameter, a plurality of protrusions situated about an outer edge of the flange, a plurality of recesses, each of the plurality of recesses being disposed about the outer edge of the flange between two of the protrusions and each of the plurality of recesses being configured to receive a user's palm, thumb, and/or fingers to rotate the apparatus, and one or more holes or indentations positioned on or adjacent to at least one of the protrusions.

Portable hunting blind for concealing and facilitating exit of hunter. Portable hunting blind including blind side panel and blind top panel. Blind side panel includes front panel, rear panel, and end panels removably mounted to front panel. Each of the front panel, rear panel and end panels includes legs. Blind top panel includes front top panel and rear top panel pivotally mounted to center brackets mounted to end panels. Portable hunting blind includes blind secured around blind side panel to envelope blind side panel for camouflaging hunter, and blind top mounted over blind top panel for concealing hunter from above. Front top panel comprising blind top is thrown back over rear top panel to impede rear exit for hunter, and to allow hunter to demount front panel and open front panel outward as a gate to exit portable hunting blind. Rear top panel is operated similarly to allow hunter to exit from back of portable hunting blind.

A blind assembly and setup configurations for the blind assembly are disclosed. The blind assembly contains two sheets wound together into a roll that are configured for separate outstretching at an angle relative to each other, for being maintained under tension in an outstretched form, and for retraction back into the roll. The end of each sheet contains a handle rod used for handling the sheets and for anchoring to the ground by means of attaching to stakes inserted into the ground using ropes. The roll end of the assembly structure is likewise attached to a stake in the course of setting up the blind assembly. A tie rod provides added support for the structure and is set up at a distance from the sheet rolls to prevent uncontrolled wraparounds of the sheets when the sheets are retracted.

A hunting blind is used for shielding a hunter while allowing the hunter to view and aim a weapon at the hunting target. The hunting blind may include a plurality of panels of the same or different sizes. Each panel may include at least one latch mating element and/or a latch. For assembly, the plurality of panels are placed adjacent to one another with portions of the adjoining panels overlapping. Each latch mating element included on a particular panel corresponds to a latch on an adjacent panel so that the panels can be secured in position.

The present invention relates to biodegradable structures for offering a way for individuals to relax outdoors in an environmentally-friendly and animal-friendly manner. The biodegradable structures include stages, bleachers, hunting blinds, and more, for enabling individuals to use the structures for enjoying an event and then leave the structures behind to biodegrade and naturally decompose over time to improve the proximal or adjacent environment. The structures can be used for different types of outdoor events and can come in different forms and sizes. The structures are formed of biodegradable materials like wood, cardboard, and biopolymers for fast decomposition in order to replenish the soil thereunder. The structures do not harm animals, nor the environment, while enabling individuals to enjoy the outdoors.

The present invention is directed to an apparatus for securing brush to a fixed wooden object to create a hunting blind, the apparatus having a screw having a head and a tip at opposing ends of the screw, the head having a head diameter; and a flange secured to the screw proximate the head, the flange being substantially circular and having a top surface, a base, a flange diameter at least twice the head diameter, a plurality of protrusions situated about an outer edge of the flange, a plurality of recesses, each of the plurality of recesses being disposed about the outer edge of the flange between two of the protrusions and each of the plurality of recesses being configured to receive a user's palm, thumb, and/or fingers to rotate the apparatus, and one or more holes or indentations positioned on or adjacent to at least one of the protrusions.
