This looks cool -- but they seem to be British. Anyone know what they're call in the US?

Like this? Didn't look closely but the price is in dollars so that should mean something.
Camouflage blind

ahhh... blind! That's the word for which I was searching.
Thanks!
I've never bothered, but it seems like a cool (well, hot...) idea. Has anyone tried stuff like this?

Baby bird: Mommy, what's that black thing sticking out of the bush?
Mama bird: Don't worry, sweetie. That's just Wendy. She's been around here a while, but apparently now she thinks we're blind.

I haven't and really could not justify the expense. You can get materials to camouflage your equipment and if you remember how to make a tie-dye and sew, it should be able to make what you want for next to nothing.
If you are adamant that you want something like this, I would suggest you try a surplus store first... they might just have some equipment you can use.

| Wendy, you can buy camo fabric and make your own poncho type blind. I saw some fabric on Amazon and have seen it in stores that cater to hunters. |

Yep. Red and I have bought lengths of camo fabric with various prints on it, and wrap it around our tripod legs to help hide them, we got them at LeBarron's in Ottawa; they were about $20/swatch and could provide enough material to wrap around yourself or make into a loose poncho, if you choose. I have a camo shell jacket which I found at a thrift store for $5. Ryan has his 500mm wrapped in camo tape which is fairly cheap. There are also collapsible camo blinds for about $500. Get thee to a hunting/outfitting store and you should be fine. |

...Or you could save yourself a ton of money and do what I do... stand sideways and simply disappear ...OK, maybe not so much now, but I could at one time :O)

Does camouflage hide people from animals' eyes? Maybe you also want to buy a spray bottle full of animal pee to hide yourself from their noses as well?

| Just be careful ninja-ing around the woods in that thing during hunting season. In fact, if I were you I would check your local hunting regulations just in case. |
