What's the most efficient way to get a lot of water out of a pit blind besides 2 guys using 5 gallon buckets?

Gas pump and a few hoses. If its a constant issue you could get set up for a couple hundred bucks.

If you don't have access to a trash pump, a bilge pump and 12v battery will empty one also.

12 volts sounds quite in case it had to run while you hunted.

The advise listed above will work but not nearly as funny as getting 5 or 6 of your fattest hunting buddies to jump off into the pit to displace as much water as possible.

Just tell me where they are located and I'll drive up and give you a hunting report.
