Doghouse blinds are nice, but I find them nearly impossible to fold back up, so I take the blind down to a flattened state. Also, they can be tough to put up without a bit of noise. So put them up well ahead of time, as suggested. They keep you out of the weather and stop your scent nicely.
For on-the-spot blind hunting I like my portable home-made burlap blind. Camo burlap (54" wide) is stapled on to 54" 1-by-2 sticks that have pole barn spikes in the ends (with heads cut off). This is a quick, quiet, blind to put up. And you can wedge in between some evergreens and top it off with some branches over the sides and you are nearly invisible.

Another nice feature of these blinds is that you may stand and stretch. For those with back problems that is very nice.
