Kayak duck blind building - Updated pics in OP

Polar Pop and I made some blinds for our yaks yesterday. The blind is constructed of military surplus netting with raffia zip-tied to it. We will add some different colors with camo spray paint later this week and always supplement with native vegetation. Each kayak uses two pieces of material that just rolls down the kayak. We are pretty pleased with how they turned out. Each kayak used around 8lbs of raffia for the blind.
Cuda 14 blind
Commander 12 blind
You can also see what kind of netting we used for the base in the cuda next to the commander in that last picture. Getting pretty pumped about the season.
ETA:Did a little painting on the yak blind:
What do y'all think?

That's awesome. So you guys are going to actually hunt from them?

Those are badass. How hard would it be to make one that looks like a floating log? Out here on the East Coast, sinkboxes are big for hunting seaducks...where you essentially try to blend into the water. I know they aren't legal in LA, but I've always wondered if something like that would work in the middle of Bistineau or Wallace.

I'd tie a string to the shotguns...just in case.

Looks good. Will probably try something similar North of Houston on Lake Livingston this year.
Do you just leave a big enough space open for paddling and cover up when you get there or do you wait until on site to assemble the whole thing?
I've tried this in the past on a pirogue and everything was eventually a water logged mess.

Are y'all using a mother ship to move these?

I think you could get away with just the netting on the right yak and sparse native grass.
The one on the left has about 500% more grass then you really need. I'd back off for weight and water absorbing concerns.
Y'all need to weave one for, I don't know, about a 18 ft. Champion we can all sit in.

How is it going to do when transporting them to your hunting spot, looks like the wind would destroy your grass

Added some paint to the blind:

I'd invest in water proof matches and life insurance.

The paint makes it look a lot better.
