I'm planning on visiting a beaver pond next week.  It consists of flooded timber with lots of dead trees, etc.  I use chest waders when I access the site.  Any advice on how I could rig up a portable photo blind given I will most likely be in the mud?  I have a quick camo, but I'm hoping for something that will allow me to move around a little.  A pop up blind isn't ideal, given it will be at least partially in the water.  The site is also relatively remote, adding to the complexity.

Rhett - I bought this : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073H ... UTF8&psc=1
It's just 2 panels so it's very light and simple to set up. I haven't used it yet but it looks interesting. I have used the Doghouse Blind and like it but it blows away in heavy wind and the cows and horses destroy it in the fields with my fox dens. Steve

Thanks, that is exactly what I need! I'm anxious to check out the new spot. I left a game camera out and caught a bunch of activity.

I went out with the new blind today.  It worked great.  I would recommend a small piece of cloth and some clothes pins to use to make the holes a little smaller.  It worked like a charm.  

Here's a follow up question.  How do you transport all of your stuff to the location?  I may just be carrying too much stuff.  Canon 1D, 500 and tripod, plus a few odds and ends.
