Hides - bag, dome or clothing?

[Richard G.]

Been thinking about getting some kind of hide, but have some questions. As ever with these things, I’d like a single “do it all” solution, however, I’m wanting something that I can use on the open moors as well as woodland and also in the garden.

Can I get away with camo clothing in the open or would a bag hide be more suitable? And can you fairly easily move around in a bag hide or are you pretty static once inside?

I’m sure a dome hide would be better for the woods/garden with enough room for a small chair, so I’d be able to sit comfortably for longish periods in one place. I noticed a thread here with some modestly priced pop-up hides, like this one, or am I better sticking with the more expensive stuff from wildlife watching supplies, which I’m guessing are more capable of withstanding the British weather, given I’d want to leave it up in the garden for several days at a time?
