New guy here!
Looking for new ideas/input on what kind of accessories or what people are looking for in a blind. Any thoughts or ideas? Wanting to bring something new to the market with input from hunters for hunters.

Welcome.

When I first read the thread title, I was thinking white cane and braille tablet.

• Get the LED lamp that has a bug zapper built in. Fewer mosquitos during the pre-dawn hours is well worth it.
• Get a quiet battery powered fan - or rig up an old PC fan. When it's hot in the blind, you'll be thankful for it.
• I knew a guy who rigged up a PVC pipe that went into the ground below the (elevated) stand, with gravel in the hole. In effect, it was a long piss tube. Handy, and easier than old water jugs.
• Keep a water jug (1 gallon or bigger) in the stand. Pretty handy to wash your hands, put on a towel to cool you off, etc.
• Rig up a quiet rifle rest. Some people screw a pool noodle or pipe insulation to the window base. Let's you set the rifle on it quietly.
• Put some screw-in hangers in several places in the blind. Good to hang a coat or other gear and keep it handy but off the floor.
• An old piece of carpet on the floor will cut down noise.
• Keep a can of wasp spray somewhere you can get to it outside. Those things can build a nest pretty quickly.
• Mount an LED light with a switch near the door. When you're getting in the stand, it's handy to put the light on while getting set up.

I think OP is wanting ideas for built-in features because he is going to produce a line of hunting blinds if I understand correctly

Welcome to the TGT forum.
It depends upon whether your talking about a permanent or temporary blind and is it to be specific to deer, ducks, or whatever?

I’d like a device that prints a $100 bill every time I enter or exit.

This is good stuff right here. Thanks for putting up this list.

Something I have put on my blinds in the past was a small solar panel directly connected to a USB charger port

If I was to have a hunting blind it would sleep 2 comfortably, be capable to make hotmeals, good ventilation, dry, fat phuc accessible... O wait that called hunting from you porch.

With archery season going I'm curious if I'll noticed few neighborhood deer?

Two kinds: light and packable. Or built and stationary.

I enjoy mini-cabins turned into blinds. You could build people those shed/shop buildings but make it for hunting.

Light weight and packable I would just make sure it's good material and something that tries to reflect heat. This day and age everything has some tech on it. Maybe have it use solar panels. Or a packable model that's compatible with wood stove jacks. Make it easy to set up...I like simple and durable. No stitched in floor. Maybe has different ways to set up. Can use tie downs with trees or poles.

We made hasty blinds in Africa. The chairs were the only thing we brought with. They served us very well even the night the Puff Ader came in for a visit or the afternoon the rhino was trying to figure us out.

Upgrading the ones we currently produce but with more features(we have a lot already)

Permanent blinds, mainly deer/pig/varmint your standard deer blind stuff.

If there are any free ranging baboon troupes you absolutely have to keep them outside. I seen a few bow hunting blinds that were built in RSA & the baboons get inside & throw their shit at everything.

I've spent time in some stands but I would never hide in a blind.
