i have been using Buteo single person hide with some success. I got it with snoot (You call it sleeve) but it looks like when moving lens, this sleeve draws more attention vs keeping lens inside hide. Sometimes i use special netting around the sleeve to blend it more with the hide's body. I think the best way to use sleeve would be with special apron with ribbons on top of it, so there wouldn't be a long sleeve sticking out of the hide. Probably gonna buy bigger hide aswell in the next spring. More room = i dont have to open hide door to use low angle position,  more space for other gear and just more overall comfort.

You make folding these hides look so easy could you please do a video on folding fitted sheets because no matter how many times I’ve tried that skill has always eluded me 😊

Folding up, that's how we used to fold large band saw blades!

I have been using the buteo hide for many years and absolutely agree with you, it's a great thing! Thanks for the video, which confirmed my purchase! Many thanks and best regards, Rolf

Anyone around 6ft will find it a bit small,getting in and out is a challenge.

Glad you demonstrated the fold up process, Mike.

Big downside you may find is that zips when they get dirt etc they get clogged up and become hard to use.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication😊 - thanks Mike

Another great video Mike, thanks for showing how to fold them down my attempts have been like Rod Hull and Emu before seeing this lol!

It is probably easier to keep insects out if you use zippers. Hook an loop might leave openings.

And another use for my rubber mallet!

I like the single person hide. Thanks for sharing. A big LIKE for your video. Greetings from Singapore.

Benefit of velcro is you can attach anything you want. With zip, not so much 😅

super videa, díky,chci se zeptat, jakou používáte židli do markiii?

Great overview Mike, thanks for taking the time to make this 👍

Thanks Mike. Like the way you dismantle!!

Great work, Mike!

Nice walk through, thanks.

Interesting that you should do this video now as I received my buteo hide a moth ago. Only thing I can say against it was that the hide ships from Belgium and I was stung for over £60 of unexpect import duties.

Great info and demo Mike, thanks for sharing this! Folding the double hide would have been a great test for those on the Generation Game, lol. Cheers

I attended one of yours workshops in Jessops, Leicester about a million years ago. I don’t crop, and I’m sure that comes from starting out with slide f8lm. For me it’s about the experience as much as the photo so I’m staying with not cropping. Old schools rules!
