Is it hard to carry and set up ?
And is it something you would use on public land ?

Most of these blinds are mobile blinds not permanent set-ups,hence easy to put up and take down.Easier said than done though.I have in some cases had a more difficult time breaking them back down and puttingback in the packthan putting them up to hunt or video out of.Howler is right,you'll find its much easier handling the blind for someone who's done it before than a newbie.The Matrix is in the 20lb class,with the T2 and T5 models 3 to 6 or so lbs less.They are not hard to carry as they come with a carrying harness.There great anywhere imho,but I would definately NOT leave them out on public ground for obvious reasons[&:]!Bob
