Al
I have both styles
On my private hunting club I have a 4x8 wood box blind built on a welded frame. No way an atv could haul that sucker, I have to use the old ford jubilee. I have a regular propane tank sitting on the frame (made possible because the blind doesn't sit on the frame it's lifted)
And it snakes up in there to one of those old style metal heaters. I've never had the propane spook deer and it's a lifesaver when it's -20
I'll have to post pics, it's pretty nice.

On the other hand Ameristep blind is great if you're not leaving it sit outside.. Say for state land or stuff like that. I also use my popup for small applications like keeping the garden groundhog free.

But seems like you have the best of both worlds.
I'm building a new stationary blind soon gonna make it big. I mean big like 8x8, put it together with screws so I can move it I guess.
I'd love to see pics of ur atv and blind. Me and my pap read farm show and love seeing peoples works. We like to "tinker" as pap says lol

Oh haha and if you find a whole truck load of em for thirty some cents hit me up and we'll have an ebay sale lmao we can split it
