Ron? From the video, this blind looks easy to carry, is it? How durable is it, my old blind has to be constantly repaired. How long have you used one particlar blind? Which camo do you prefer, I use mine mainly for turkeys in oak forest and on pasture edges. Any input would be appreciated.

The blind folds and hooks into a D shape making it very easy to carry. It's also the quickest and easiest blind to set up that you'll find.
The material in the Nat-Gear blind is a 50-50 blend of cotton/polyester with 1,500 mil of polyethylene in the liner. This is a extremely tough and durable material. I have one of these blinds set up that's been up for a year and it's still as good as the day I got it.
The Woodland Camo and the D.A.T. (digital all terrain) blinds are also very light and tough.. Made of a material call Tuf-Tec it is similar to rip-stop nylon.
I've seen some cheaper blinds that will color fade and break down from exposure if left out for long periods of time.
I've been using the Hidden Hunter blinds for 5 years now and still have my original blind that is as good as new.
As for the camo pattern that I prefer, I have one of each depending on the foliage where I'm hunting. The Woodland works very well if you're in evergreens. For open hardwoods or slashings either the Nat-Gear or D.A.T. work equally well.
Leonard Larue the famous whitetail photographer uses custom made photo blinds made by Hidden Hunter.
My motto is, when the quality of your equipment may mean the difference between success and failure, why not use the best.
