Ive used 3D blind material, just carry it in your bag and there's always limbs or branches to stick in the ground to hold the material up in front of you.
Where I hunt it's so thick I usually have plenty of vegetation to conceal myself but the 3D material comes un handy at times.

 

Camo netting and paracord pack up nice and tight and don't weigh much at all inside your daypack. I don't carry any kind of stakes, plenty of sticks laying around that will do the job.

 

I have one of those portable blinds made from camo fabric and tent poles with pattern cut holes in it...I think it was at Sportsmans Warehouse.

You still have to brush it in for it to look good

 

A blind has to be found or constructed if you are planning on a fixed location. Otherwise, as Fred Bear wrote, keep it simple, keep into the wind, away from the sun, in the dark, and off of skylines, ridgelines, and keep it slow, low, and LOOK AROUND... this tells you what's there, and what you can do about it without attracting attention. Learn how to "see through brush" with your binoculars.

As to fixing a blind... it's quite simple really... keep yourself from being seen... this can happen in the open even... though with a bow more problematic... so IN MY OPINION... follow the Bear prescription and keep it rational.. use terrain as much as possible, cover as much as possible, and if you have to construct something, use existing components as much as possible. My very first deer was shot sitting in the open with deer all around me... disconcerting... but animals will either smell you or see you... generally moving, but they don't see still very easily... :grin:

 

I have tried making my own, but found a couple products on line that are less hassle, work better for me, and cost less. You might look into Primos Up-N-Down telescopic Blind or Hunters Specialties Strut Ground Blind. Both are lightweight, easy to carry and use and are less than $30

 

Thanks, I'll look into these too.

Any particular netting you guys prefer? I was at Walmart and Allen sells a heavier burlap version and a much lighter weight mesh version. Both the same size.

Have you noticed a difference in camo or color? Do you add natural foliage to it wherever you are? If so, what is your method of attaching it?

This one looks promising?
