JJ, after hunting a lot with ground blinds that I had to pack in, I now use a pair of the Doghouse types. They are just so simple and adequate. If two folks hunt, I use one or erect two side by side. It's low tech and works.
The hub styles are more PITA with no return on investment, IMO. Been there. Neither pack well, but the Doghouse less poorly.
A big plus is that I will often put up a Doghouse blind and leave it for a week or so. Or stow it in the carry sack and leave it in a tree. Around here, bears like to find your blind and roll on it. This is tragic for hub types, but not a big deal (most of the time) for the Doghouse types.
I'll be Doghousing again this winter.
Jeff
