What do you guys think is the best lightweight box blind that you would get up on a elevated platform without real equipment in a remote spot? I guess building it right on the platform is an option but I'm not real handy like that. I can do rough work but nothing finish wise. Time is a factor too.

This is regarding this elevated platform I built. When I move it to another location here I want to put a permanent "hard" blind on it.

The Maverick, Guidesman, Snaplock are the first ones to come to mind. Looking for a decent quality one that I can get up there.
 
Here are a couple of options where the blind only needs to be assembled. Shadow hunter had a blind that you could assemble on your site. I don't see it on their website any more but you could check with them to see if they still offer it.

Can us get a 4 wheeler with winch into the locale? If so, get the posts, platform, and blind attached and then eye bolt a cable to the blind(2 corners closest to the tree, put a pulley on the tree a couple feet over the height of the platform and then run cable through pulley and attach to the 4 wheeler and then winch it up. You will probably have to tether your 4 wheeler to a tree so it don't get pulled towards the pulley(at least that is what I had to do). I've done this with three of the menards blindsmaverick blind.jpg (6 shooter) on top of a platform, with 16' legs. All went up with no problems or anything breaking.
