I hunt from the ground more than treestands, but use natural cover. The problem with being on the ground is visibility. My treestand use is to gain visibility, not any foolish idea that they can’t see or smell me when I’m at most 12’ up.
A ground setup on a slope can be the best compromise. I like to have a natural obstacle on the downwind side if possible, like a river or big honkin’ rock. I have an assortment of seats to choose from as it’s hard for an old man to stay still on the ground. My latest is a telescoping cone that weighs maybe 2lbs and has a padded seat that doubles as a cover and carrying strap.
