Default Thinking of scrapping the idea of treestands altogether.

I am thinking of forgetting a treestands altogether. For awhile I wanted a summit climber which I believe would have been a good choice. Then I thought " hey maybe I will get two hang ons for the price of one climber without the hassle of moving it" then I am like man I dont want to go and buy junky treestands and risk safety. So I am now at the point after doing some research to skip the treestands and get a ground blind. Why? I will tell you. First, the land I am hunting consists of nearly all ridges and hills. This created a problem with scent control because of swirling winds. Sec. I cannot sit still very long and I think a ground blind would help in the fact that I could get away witha little more movement. I know I couldnt just forget about movement It would just give me some slack. Next reason. I wont have alot of time to scout during preseason and the ground blind would alow easy manuverability incase I needed to rearange.And the next is that I could sit during the rain or wind for longer periods of time without having to spend a fortune on windproof clothing. And last but not least it would cost me less. Not a ton like maybe 100 bucks but to someone still in High school that is alot. Now to the last part. Do you have any suggestions on which blind to get?or suggestions or opinions as to why I should not use one. Any of this info would be great. My price range is like $200 or less. So thanks again for any info.
