If you set it up in the forest just tie the walls open so they can't cave in. One of my blinds has loops on the outside of each wall and I'll put string through and tie it around the nearest tree. Worked well last year. Also don't stake it into the snow if you can help it. As soon as it melts your blind will end up blown 800 yards away. I've never had one come out when stake into the actual ground. There's not a whole lot you can do about the mice, I had a porcupine chew a basketball sized hole in mine one year.
