To keep your ground blind in the best shape possible, make sure it is dry and free of debris before storing it. If you’re out hunting in the rain and your blind gets wet, shake out the excess moisture before packing up the blind and sticking it in the carry bag to easily transport the blind from your hunting spot to your vehicle or base camp.

As soon as you get home, take the blind back out of the bag and set it up in a sheltered but well ventilated area (such as a porch or under a large overhang) and let the blind dry out completely before putting it away. If you set the blind up outside, make sure it is secured from gusty winds that could blow it away.

The hunting blind should be free of debris (no sticks in the stubble straps, etc.) before storage to prevent rips and tears in the ground blind material or mesh. Store the ground blind inside the carry bag in a clean, dry place.
