Thread: Show me your maimais

No improvement Dundee. We drove the same route we walked last season. The water last season was keeping the fellas cool in the thigh waders, at the moment the track is basically dry. The sooner that bar gets set up, and the loos drained to the lake, the better.

Thinking of building a couple of these. Plywood Boat, how to build a one sheet plywood boat GardenFork.TV - YouTube Could use them to drag/float the gear out then use them as layout blinds. Could do a camo paint job, or paint them grey and use black polythene as a cover so they look like water troughs.

Just get a decoy sled from cabelas. It will end up lighter than the plywood and probably no more expensive than buying the sheet of plywood. I wouldn't leave home without my decoy seld. Very handy for carrying a decent bag of swans or geese out in as well. A bigger sled is better as long as you can fit it in your vehicle.

Too late, pretty much just need to screw and glue it together. I'm after something that is bigger and more versatile than the sled. All the materials have been sitting in my garage for years. I could easily just pop a couple on the roof rack, or even nest them.

Fair call. Never let if be said that I talked someone out of a good DIY project. With ours we create a pile of decoy bags. Put the sled upside down over it. Put the camo net over that and then put it behind one of the blinds and it basically disappears.

I want it for more than just bird hunting. It will be used as a shallow draught canoe and would be OK as a roof box as well.
