I'm looking to pick up a ground blind for taking my son hunting this year. Simply something that can be thrown in the trunk and set up fairly easily once in the woods. Will perhaps use it a couple times for deer hunting where I'll have it out a week or two in advance, but overall I do not plan on leaving in the elements. Obviously don't need a blind for squirrels and such, but I know he'd have a blast in his "fort" while hunting. Budget would be about $150.

I haven't seen a blind that holds up well when left outside -especially if in the sun.
I just bought 3 rolls of burlap camo from walmart -about $40- I'm going to build a couple of blinds down in the swamp at my lease.
I have also used the landscaping weed don't grow black mesh stuff that you put down before you mulch. Then camo it in with the burlap or other camo material.
Build them and leave them there -just patch them up when need be --and nobody will steal them.
