7. The system of concealment of claim 4 , further comprising at least one deeper dimple on the end of the connector that receives one of threaded legs,
wherein said deeper dimple intrudes into said connector further than said plurality of dimples,
whereby said deeper dimple prevents said leg from being inserted beyond a predetermined distance beyond said deeper dimple.
8. The system of concealment of claim 1 ,
wherein a third of said curtains is supported by the first attaching support on one end and by the third attaching support on the other end,
wherein a three-sided ground blind is formed.
9. A system of concealment comprising:
a) at least three attaching supports, each attaching support for supporting a curtain comprising a first leg and a second leg and a third leg,
wherein said first leg is orthogonally joined to said second and third legs,
wherein at least one of said first leg and said second leg is threaded with substantially similar threads
wherein at least one of said first and said second legs is attached to a shaft using a connector, and
wherein said third leg is smooth and sharpened at the end,
whereby said shaft can support a curtain,
b) at least three of said shafts, and
c) at least two of said curtains,
wherein a first hem of a first of said curtains is supported by a first of said attaching supports,
wherein a second hem of said first curtain and a third hem of a second of said curtains is supported by a second of said attaching supports,
wherein a fourth hem of said second curtain is supported by a third of said attaching supports,
wherein said third legs of each of said attaching supports is inserted into said ground,
wherein said second hem and said third hem each comprise a plurality of reinforced holes, and
wherein said first and second curtains are joined by running said shaft of said second attaching support through said reinforced holes,
whereby a ground blind is formed.
10. The system of concealment of claim 9 ,
wherein said shaft is attached with a threaded connector.
11. The system of concealment of claim 9 ,
wherein said shaft is attached with a connector,
wherein said connector is a dimpled connector wherein at least one dimple engages a leg on the attaching support.
12. The system of concealment of claim 11 , further comprising a pin for attaching an elastic cord,
wherein said elastic cord is connected to said shaft,
whereby said shaft can be removably inserted into said dimpled connector.
13. The system of concealment of claim 12 , further comprising a dimple on the end of the connector that receives the shaft
wherein said dimple prevents said shaft from being inserted beyond said dimple.
14. A system of concealment comprising:
a) at least three attaching supports, each attaching support for supporting a curtain comprising a first leg and a second leg and a third leg,
wherein said first leg is orthogonally joined to said second and third legs,
wherein said first leg and said second leg are threaded with substantially similar threads whereby at least one of said first and said second legs is attached to a shaft using a connector, and
wherein said third leg is smooth and sharpened at the end,
whereby said shaft can support a curtain,
b) at least three of said shafts, and
c) at least two of said curtains,
