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 swiveling gun rest is disclosed, comprising a mounting unit for mounting to a surface of a hunting blind, and a swiveling support unit for supporting a gun and a body of a person using the gun. The mounting unit may include a mast having a foot able to contact a floor of the hunting blind. A swivel joint accommodates swivel of the support unit about a vertical axis, so as to be able to fire through windows of the hunting blind. The foot may accommodate the combined weights of the gun rest, gun, and a portion of the body weight of the person. The swivel joint may comprise a plurality of sockets fixed to the mounting unit and an equal number of fingers fixed to the support unit, the fingers configured to occupy the sockets. The support unit may comprise a frame and a cushion atop the frame.

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to air flow control blinds or tents useful for controlling scents emitted therefrom. The air flow control blinds can include walls, a roof, windows in the walls, and at least one directional vent disposed on the walls, where the at least one directional vent includes an inlet on the inner surface of the blind and an outlet fluidly connected to the inlet, the outlet facing downward on the outer surface of the blind to direct fluids flowing therethrough towards the ground. The air flow control blinds may include one or more roof vents adjacent to the walls on the roof. The air flow control blind includes at least one oxidant generator mount on one or more of the roof or the walls to mount an oxidant generator thereon. Blind systems can include a portable oxidant generator positioned in the blind.

Mesh material is presented for a hunting blind with a camouflage pattern printed on a first side and a second side with a color coating. The mesh material is partially transmissive such that a portion of incident radiation from an exterior of the hunting blind is reflected back into the exterior, a portion of incident radiation from an interior of the hunting blind is transmitted through the mesh material to the exterior and an intensity ratio of the reflected portion to the transmitted portion during daylight conditions is above a threshold value such that the exterior of the hunting blind is visible from the interior and the interior of the hunting blind is not visible from an exterior of the hunting blind. A hunting blind is also provided that includes a frame including frame members and panels of the mesh material attached to the frame members.

A ladder stand includes a ladder portion, a platform on the ladder portion, and a plurality of support straps to hold the ladder stand against a support structure. The plurality of support straps may include upper support straps that are each connected to the ladder stand, wrap partially around the tree, and connect to each other with a connecting device, to position the tree between the ladder stand and the straps. The platform may include a blade element positioned to press against the tree when the support straps are tightened against the tree. A method of installing a ladder stand may include connecting ends of the upper support straps to each other after passing the ends around an obstruction on the tree. A user may pull on other ends of the straps to draw the straps upward along the tree until they are approximately level with the blade element.

A hunting blind includes a base portion including a plurality of lower arcuate segments configured to be coupled to one another. The hunting blind also includes an upper portion coupled to the base portion and including a plurality of upper arcuate segments configured to be coupled to the base portion. Additionally, the hunting blind includes a cover hingedly coupled to the upper portion and configured to be moved between an open position and a closed position. Moreover, the hunting blind includes an actuator coupled to the base portion or to the upper portion and configured to move the cover from the closed position to the open position, and wherein the actuator is a hands-free actuator such that the actuator is configured to be actuated by a user's foot, knee, or elbow.

Provided herein are polyamide compositions having desirable flow properties, for example low viscosity, which is useful for molding small components. The polyamide compositions comprise a polyamide comprising 1,10-decanediamine terephthalamide (10T) repeating units; a copolyamide comprising repeating units derived from terephthalic acid and from a diamine containing 6 or fewer carbon atoms; a reinforcing agent; and optionally, one or more of a flame retardant, a flame retardant synergist, and a lubricant.
