My brothers neighbour a few miles away has a hunting blind. It’s a Vietnam surplus sniper shack. It’s over 40’ in the air. Has heat, tv, beer fridge, stove and more in it. Sounds like the guy toughs it when he hunts lol.
Re: top posters
Here are some pics of what I built, maybe give you some idea options.
Mine is on skids in case i ever want to relocate.
Lots of bracing and lag bolts at timber intersections, corner gussets, 1800# (55"X85"X1.5" thick)steel plate ballast and 4' arrow head anchors(did not want it to blow over), angle iron to pick up stair base, removable hand rail section.
Look close at pictures for ideas, oh ya the sky light turret, can be hinged to stand on a ladder to shoot, great view.
Cupboards, counter and tons of pesky flies.
It's 15 years old and still solid.

This is how I cut my ladder rungs.
They do not hold snow and snow in the treads of your boots does not squeak and crunch when you are trying to get in stand early in the dark for first light.
I can't stand a noisey stand entrance.
