My son has one that folds into a pouch about the size of a seat cushion and you literally throw it to set it up. I will ask the brand.

Dawg, That sounds like what I'm looking for.......something easy to carry and quick to set up.

Here's how the spring steel ones work:

There are quite a few clones, with better windows than the one I got... still, they are useful.

Could access the link, but it did have another interesting concept available. Not that easy to carry, but it seems easy to erect.

No kidding, I'd be afraid a good fart would send it over.

Maybe that would be a blessing in disguise mate...might be the the only way to escape a really nasty bottom burp.

Looks like it would make a great parachute with a light breeze.

I've stopped using blinds and wear a leaf-suit. It allows me more flexibility to position myself and move if I need.

That is the one I was talking about. Actually stays put pretty well when anchored by the stakes. We usually set it near a tree and tie it off to a branch too.
