RE: blind hunting
One thing you could do is use the new Avery rag blinds.
They fold to less that 12 inches but provide a 12 foot barrier. Carrying 2 of these would be no problem as I have done so lots of times.
A rag blind is just a flat panel shield you look over. It has break apart poles so it can fold and roll-up easily. I won about 4 of different camo backgrounds. Can be set-up quickly around any tree you choose to use as a back rest. Will allow lots of lower body movement and with a small bit of brushin' in will blend into any surrounding quickly
As the season's get closer I'll post pictures of what I use like I did last year.
Or pattern birds and then use a tent style blind. I also use these at times and they allow a lot of movement under certain conditions.
But if ya run N gun I would choose the rag blind set-up.
