I will use deadfall that is in the area or cut limbs from larger trees, along with evergreen branches. They help fill the voids and are also a great cover scent. Best part is they are free and you don't need to carry them around.

I did buy one this year. Mainly for taking my children out. It was a small one made by grizzly. I think it pretty much sucks to be honest. I guess it may have been worth the whopping $39, but it reflects light when it is wet, and it doesn't have to be really wet either, just some dew in the morning is all. It is noisy and it falls over unless you use all the tie downs, which kind of defeats the purpose. I wanted something easy to move around, and I don't think it fits the bill. I will say that it is probably a lot better than my natural ones in the rain though, so that is how I'm planning to use it.
