The hide would have to be re designed for using one seat. Our head office is in wolverhampton if you wanted to come and see one you could call and arrange an appropriate time.

Thanks for the info Steve,much appreciated. just a thought, if we could find a suitable date reasonably soon, would anyone be interested in a forum meet?

[Steven Gourlay]

Nice idea Rob i just live a bit too far away to get down to the midlands however would be good for you's southerners to meet up and maybe do a Scottish meet at some point.

Rob,

Yes I have a two-man hide thanks to some cash for Xmas.

I've not tried it out in the field yet but I would say that Simon King was right in his review that a two-man hide is a one-man and his kit hide.

There is no room behind the chair to put any kit so it either has to go on the seat next to you or on the floor in front of you potentially between the legs of your tripod.

Bearing in mind that the entry/exit point is through the front of the hide this could make access to/from the hide a bit tight.

I have put a couple of pics of the hide on the gallery so that you can, hopefully, get an idea of the space inside. One shows the seat and the other shows the floor area in front of the seat.

Going back to a point I raised earlier in the thread, I have put a couple of pics onto the gallery to show what I meant about the rear window being clearly visible through the front window even with the mesh screen up on the front. One of the pics has the tripod and lens in it so that you can see what I was saying about a silhoutte being easily visible. The pics were taken from a low level to simulate what a potential subject would see.

If the current design doesn't have a material screen like the side and front windows do then I think the design team should seriously consider adding one.

If the current design does have a material screen then mine is faulty
