One trick I did with an Altan ground blind that I bought on sale from TLC store (it didn't come with tie-ons) was to sew 18 inch lengths of duck decoy cord along all the seams so I could tie on weeds, branches etc. Worked well for last fall's deer season.
I agree on STRONG anchors on all corners + anchor ropes if you plan on placing it anywhere where wind gets at it. The wimpy metal pegs that came with it pulled out within a week, and I replaced them with long metal tent stakes, and anchor ropes on the upwind hubs.

I have 4 ground blinds as I set up various places on public land. 2 are the Ameristep doghouse and 2 are the Ameristep G3.
I prefer the hub style if you aren't moving it around a lot. More room and sturdier. I prefer the spring steel if I'm moving it more often. It's a little faster/easier to pack up. One thing to consider is snow. I have had heavy snowfalls ruin the spring steel blinds, but aside from caving in the roof (that I just pushed back out) of the hub style, I haven't had one break yet.
