Trailer Blind
My passion is repurposing things.
When I sold my old '99 Silverado I kept the fiberglass ARE camper shell to use "for something".
I had always thought a hunting blind mounted on a trailer would be useful on a deer lease. That way you could move it around to various places based on the time of the year and where the best spot happened to be.
A $300 Harbor Freight 4 X 8 utility trailer, 4 sheets of plywood, several 2 X 4's, several 2 X 2's, some deck screws, some fastening hardware, and some paint.....plus about a week of manual labor gave me just what I had in mind all along.

Too much for manual hoisting so here comes the ATV to the rescue.

The cap was almost 2 foot wider than the trailer so I ended up with 2 nice shelves for rifles, binoculars, drinks, etc.
