Ground Blinds?

bjrogg:
I've always hunted from the ground and until just a few years ago with out a blind but this was always with a shotgun. Obviously my long bow isn't going to work in my gun blind. I'm thinking just natural materials blind but I saw this cardboard blind with mirrors on outside the walls angled down slightly. At first i thought what a joke and only $199 for a piece of shiny cardboard. But later I got thinking sure would be portable easy to set up and might just work. Not sure if I can use brand name but anybody see or use one of these.

Was it a ghost blind?  They reflect the image of the surrounding brush.  I wonder if it would have a glare from the sun from different angles.  I prefer natural materials.  I gather up dead limbs to make a frame and cut cedar limbs and trees to brush it in. 

bjrogg:
Yes it was Osage. I was thinking same thing but if it works I like the portability of it. I was thinking cedars also

osage outlaw:
I've wondered about making my own blind like that.  You can get a roll of Reflective Mylar Film for $30.  Glue it on some cardboard and it should be about the same as the $200 ghost blind.

bjrogg:
It probably is important to angle top of walls out to keep sun reflections down and reflect your surroundings. Sure does seem like they could sell them for about $45 but there's big $$$$ in hunting stuff. For $45 I'd probably try one  for $199 not unless I know it's going to be bulletproof
