TIDEWE Hunting Blind 270°See Through with Carrying Bag, 1-2& 2-3& 3-4 Person Pop Up Ground Blinds, Portable Resilient Hunting Tent (Camouflage)

Überraschung

I've hunted for 40 years, but never from a blind. I was suspicious how sturdy this would be, or how easy to setup. It surpassed my expectations and worked out great on a recent hunt. You can see out (not super clear through the fabric, but the openings are well placed and adjustable, and it really blocked anything from seeing in. I consider it a great purchase. Well worth the money. Good size for 2 adults.

I purchased two of these blinds, the one pictured was from September of 2022, and has been out the longest. Pictures were taken in April, 2025, and show the effects of 3 years and 6 months out on the edge of one of my fields, in direct sunlight. This one has been set up and left in that same spot by the field the entire time, before being brought it up to the garage to be replaced. My other Tidewe blind was set up in a wooded area, but an early snow collapsed it beyond repair, as the fabric was ripped and torn, and a number of the fiberglass supports snapped. That ond didn't make it through the first season. Can't blame the blind for that, it was a heavy and wet early snow, and I had the blind tied down well, it just collapsed on itself. I saved the rods and plastic turnbuckle things from the ripped up blind, and used them to rebuild the other one, the one pictured, which was in a more open area. I believe wind helped keep too much snow from accumulating on this one, although it too collapsed. I have learned to put a piece of PVC pipe inside as a support pole when I'm not inside, and that helps prevent collapse, by offering support for the roof so snow can slide off. The "see-through" feature is nice, but it isn't really all that usable during low light situations. It's like looking inside your microwave while something is cooking. Your eye keeps trying to focus on the fabric, and not on what is out beyond it. It does make the blind feel more open though, and I like it better than the opaque blinds. The sliding windows are a nice and functional feature, and positioning them, with the openings as thin slits, allows good viewing around you, while not being completely wide open. I did buy a couple of chairs for ground blinds, but everything I've tried is too tall for the height of the window openings from inside. You end up either leaning way over, or taking a knee to look outside. That is the same for every blind I've used, so chair makers, let's make one with a lower seat height. My hunting situation allows me to get these set up and leave them there, which I do, but that won't work for everyone. The blind is effective, and I've had deer and turkey walk within 5 feet, never knowing I was inside. The key is to let them get used to it over time, and gain familiarity with it being in the same place. I've watched deer notice my quad 75 yards away and steer clear of that when I rode out to hunt, so a giant blind just appearing one day may not do what you hope it will, see-through or not. Get real tent pegs and some paracord to tie it down, leave it in place, and you'll find much more activity around you. I will commend Tidewe on the quality of their plastic turnbuckles. They never seem to be the weak link. Other blinds have turnbuckles that crack and break, but the Tidewe parts hang in there. All the straps, tie-downs, and zippers have also been performing without issue. I've used the turnbuckles from the collapsed Tidewe blind to repair other blinds too. The poles from my collapsed blind were used to replace the broken ones on the blind pictured, and as the pictures show, the walls all maintain good structural integrity, and have held up well. The fabric must not be treated for any kind of UV protection though, as you can see the colors have almost completely faded to the color of dry straw grass, and it feels about as thin as tissue paper. The blind really sticks out now, not matching any colors from the surroundings, but since it's been there so long, the deer didn't care. The roof, getting the most sunlight, eventually tore apart, and you can see the result in the pictures. I do not think this blind would make it through next deer season, so I removed it now, and hope to have another back there soon. So overall, I'm happy with the blinds, and will buy them again at a similar price point. They'll last longer if you only set them up on the day you hunt, but they won't be nearly as effective doing that. Higher windows (or lower seats) would be nice, as would more UV resistant fabric, but overall it's been a good purchase.

My husband loves this blind for deer hunting! I also bought one for our son in law and we have recommended to many friends. He likes that he can see out and doesn’t have to look thru a tiny window. He left it up all deer season and it still looks like new. He has also sat in it during rain and didn’t get wet. It’s very easy to put up and take down and easy to carry in the woods. It is spacious enough for two people with two lawn chairs

*Full review after almost 6 month* I purchased this almost 6 months ago. Im in it now actually. wanted to wait till I used it a few times to get a feel for it... ok.. the good, the bad, and the ugly... it IS lighter than I thought it would be which is great if your spot is a bit of walk. has a shoulder strap so thats a plus right? Definitely easier to set up than an older model, but honestly not as easy as instructions show with one person. if you got someone with you to hold a corner then somewhat easy but takedown is easywith 1... which leads to space inside. IF you use small chairs or stools, you can fit 2 inside. might be able to fit 3 small peeps on stools, not chairs, but even 2 feels cramped tbh. 1 camping style chair if in blind for 2+ hrs is perfect which I usually hunt alone anyway so perfect for me but some may want to know this, even with a heater, but 2 peeps is crowded and a tad dangerous if you have heat, which I tried out with a150 lbs person and a 200 lbs person, plaus a lil buddy heat source.... you get a good view. I love the net windows and how they adjust. would be nice if the door side window was a 2 flap split/ solid combo as to help with bugs when open and to hide shadow in day but unfortunately its not. My biggest issue is all the tiny holes in the stitch points ( as seen in some pics). the blind isnt waterproof but these points leak almost immediately... overall for $150, Its ok. when I bought it, it was like $109 or close I believe. ( think it was a Amazon deal promo or something) for that price, make it a foot wider, have a net on door side window, and make the top 100% waterproof with reinforced coating at stitch points. adding those 3 improvements would make this brand worth every penny. As is, this one is 30-50 bucks over priced now. The $109 price might have been worth it more if the top was waterproof. Im content with it for now, but wouldn't buy this again at 150 w/o those improvements.
