Description
Set up a hide in minutes with the Ameristep Care Taker Wide Bottom Ground Blind, a two-hunter hub blind with an extra-wide 69 in. by 69 in. footprint and 66 in. of standing height. The Durashell Plus 150D polyester shell wears Mossy Oak Country DNA XL camouflage in a matte finish that disappears against a tree line or field edge, while the black ShadowGuard coating inside erases your silhouette and helps mask odors. Nine Camo Mesh windows open on silent hook-and-elastic connectors, so you can adjust a shooting lane without a sound.
Key Features
- Wide bottom footprint: The 69 in. base fits two hunters with chairs and a bow, with a 78 in. by 78 in. shooting width.
- Durashell Plus shell with ShadowGuard interior: Lightweight 150D polyester in a matte finish outside and a black shadow-killing coating inside keep you hidden.
- Nine silent windows: Triangular Camo Mesh windows open and close quietly, and the V-shaped zippered door gives easy access.
- Spider Hub frame: The hub frame pops open and folds fast, and backpack straps carry the 14.4 lb packed blind.
- About Ameristep: Ameristep makes hub-style ground blinds and hunting accessories, and the Care Taker is its two-person blind, updated here with the wide bottom design.
How to Set It Up
Pick a spot with a backdrop of brush or trees and clear the ground of sticks that crunch underfoot. Unfold the blind, push out each Spider Hub until it locks, and anchor it with the twelve steel ground stakes through the eight stake loops, adding the four tie-downs when wind is in the forecast. Open only the windows facing your shooting lanes and leave the rest closed so light does not silhouette you against the back wall. Tuck calls and a rangefinder into the interior mesh pocket and brush in the exterior with local cover. At season end, dry the blind fully before packing it.
