My Primos blind bag is just about wore out, what is everyone using to get the blind, chair and decoys out to their turkey spots. I have looked at the Horn Hunter blind pack but that seems like the only option I'm seeing anything else?
 
How far are you needing to carry everything ?

I use the Alps Pathfinder, have the full pack out, put decoy inside, pull the rain fly out and lay the blind sideways sinch it up and strap chair to the top buckles
if 3 legged chair but it inside the blind along with the moving blanket i use as a floor
 
The best I've used so far is my Kifaru pack frame. I've been avoiding a third back surgery for a long time and I regret not switching to a premium pack frame sooner. For turkey I run just the frame and use cinch straps to hold everything in place...blind, 2 stools (I carry my Dad's for him), 2 decoys, tripod, bow, and any birds out of the field. I've also used a game cart and a golf club bag cart too. The golf caddy worked pretty slick but didn't last long. I bought the cheapest one I could find to test the idea so I wasn't surprised it got beat up in rough terrain.
 
I tossed the bag for mr blind day one. I have a freighter pack frame. I wrap bunge cord around the folded up blind, and bunge that to the frame. My two turkey decoys are in bags, I hang them in the pack frame or bunge them to it. I put on the pack, carry my chair in one hand and bow in the other. Also my small pack with calls, RF etc is on the pack.
 
I have a Blind Hog for each of my 3 Dbl Bulls. Carries everything. Sometimes I leave a blind out for a few days and the pack stays in the blind so I can move easily if need be.
 
I rarely use a pop up blind but when I do I use a tree stand cart that I made or a game cart. Between the blind, blind chair, extra clothes, bow, and other gear, it’s just too much for me.
 
My popup blind bags don't wear out because they are typically only used to store the blind. When I set up a blind, it isn't deep into the woods while mobile hunting.....I go in light using that approach by employing either natural backgrounds or a very compact roll out blind to hopefully cover the draw. I won't leave a blind out for turkey hunting unless it is private land that I have experience with, which also means it tends to be smaller than expanses of public ground. The Horn Hunter offering looks to be a solid option, but I doubt I will ever need one.
 
I have a very small blind that I can use in foul weather and it woks great with a small compound. What makes the size great it is very easy to brush in quickly. The downside is I can’t stand all the way up, but it is great for an in and out hunt mobile hunt. I haven’t used it for over seven years now but it is always an option.
 
I've got a Wild Thing pack, practically brand new, that's been in storage for years. Don't use it and it deserves a better home.

Shoot me a PM if that's something that'll suit your fancy. We can talk price.
 
All the above(blind hog mainly) but I have a spot where I go a mile of pretty steep up/down terrain.I take one of those little rubber/plastic sleds.Slides quietly and I can bring 2 blinds,chairs,decoys,whatever.I leave the blinds in there(hidden and about a quarter mile apart)and haul everything back out at the end of season.
