RE: Best packable blind?
As stated by others the hoop style blinds are a pain to fold back up. The other down side is that they are not nearly as tight when popped up so you can get a good bit of wind flap which I can tell you from experence the deer will not tolerate. I'm not sure about the other hoop style blinds but my Buddy has an Ameristep Roundhouse 360 which is a big blind. It is a metal hoop style and he has to put 3 fiberglass shock corded poles inside it like you would a tent and it's still not as tight and stable as my Brickhouse or especially my Double Bull.
