Rhino 180 Ground Blind

[cachemoney]

I picked this up at Gander Outdoors for about 160 dollars. I was looking at the Primos Surroundview models, but cant justify 300 dollars for a blind I am going to leave up year round for turkey and deer season.

 I really like that there is no velcro or zippers on the windows/door. Instead they have clips that go up and down to the desired height for the windows. The doors are clips that attach to the hub poles, both are very quiet to close. 

I have not been in it during any weather so I am not sure how bad the see through mesh is going to leak, but I am positive its going to. It does a great job of hiding you though while giving a great view out. 

I am over 6 feet and fat, but dont feel cramped in it. They claims it fits three, but I don't see that myself. I have plenty of room for me and my gear however and could fit one of my kids as well. 

There are loops on the top to use for brushing it in, which is nice. I havent seen that on many of the other models I have looked at.

Looks great!

Only problem I've had with hub blinds, is they sometimes cave in under heavy wet snow. But I don't have this model.

Good luck out there!

i agree, if left out thru the yr the snow load breaks the poles

The view looks good

As long as the material doesn't get completely torn I have saved a few with shattered poles. I have found the best fix is fiberglass driveway markers from home depot or lowes.

Looks like a nice blind! If you're concerned about snow collapsing the blind and/or breaking rods, what I do is put a adjustable shower curtain rod in the center for support when I'm not in the blind. To ensure the rod won't damage the blind with heavy snow, I'll put a hotseat or seat cushion in between the end of the rod and the blind. Never had an issue! Enjoy the blind!

Just got the same rhino 180 blind from gander outdoors as well! However tried to set it up and it seems mine came inside out or something? Really tried everything except taking apart the poles am I doing something wrong? I know it’s supposed to be easy and pretty much pop out but mine is definitely inside out.. anyone got any info or something I can do? Thanks!

Not really sure how to proceed there except put it in the box and take it back to the store. Are the tie down strings on the outside, poles on the inside ?
