Marsh blind material

If you are referring to grass mats, I would recommend the avery grass mats. I have heard good things about the original fast grass mats too. The cabelas and academy brands were a disappointment to me.

Yea raffia works too. Some people even mix in the raffia with the grass mats, which looks even better.

Any advice?

We used palm leaves and Avery Fast Grass in our marsh blinds.

I zip tie the raffia to my grass mats, but I'm not real fond of it because it gets hung on everything. I usually just add some different color tones to the fast grass with spray paint. Avery makes an early season fast grass that I like also.

For platform blinds we use rozzo"s (marsh cane).
Get as much as you can and keep replentishing through the season. Palmetto will work for closing up the sides and front. Have cane tall in the back of your blind and you can come down on the front so you can see. Lay small pieces of cane betweeh the hunters to break up the hole. It's the old way but we have been doing this for years with mush success. Try to use what you have around you. And remember a duck can see down when circling and looking for something. A hole (blind) is a dead give away.Do not use a weed whacker to trim.

i've driven around town and cut bamboo and other brush from empty lots
