Inflatable Ground Blind? TrueTimber AirPack
The new TrueTimber AirPack inflatable ground blind series is something completely different from current blinds on the market. For decades hunters were sold on different sizes, shapes, and configurations erected with the same old framework. Advancing beyond cumbersome and breakable rod and pole frames, TrueTimber AirPack blinds are supported by ultra-durable beams filled with air, giving the blinds a strong support system while maintaining flexibility and an ultralightweight design. TrueTimber AirPack ground blinds, constructed in multiple TrueTimber camo patterns and material options, are expected to be available mid-2020.
The AirPack blind can go anywhere a hunter can—it fits into a standard-sized backpack in matching TrueTimber camo and weighs between 15 and 22 pounds depending on the model. The package includes the backpack, a one-handed silent air pump, and the blind with additional pockets for extra gear. The blind can be inflated entirely and ready to hunt in less than two minutes.
“This is a truly revolutionary technology that will change the mindset hunters have about ground blinds. Ground blinds have always been a hassle to transport, set up and maintain once out in the field. With these blinds, we have virtually eliminated all of those issues and created a lightweight, easy to move and set-up package that is strong enough to handle the elements, including wind, rain/snow, and even trees and limbs.”
Takedown and repacking the blind takes even less time. This innovative package is mobile, quiet, and has little to no impact on habitats and game, giving hunters the ability to utilize a ground blind where never before imaginable. TrueTimber AirPack blinds feature extremely durable construction and offers a five-year bladder warranty on all models.
Once set up, AirPack blinds can withstand wind, heavy ice or snow accumulation, and other elements that damage and destroy conventional ground blinds with rods or poles. The air technology and flexible components in the AirPack blind allow the blind to bend and partially collapse to prevent damage from the buildup of snow or falling debris and then regain its shape once removed. The kit also includes patches that can quickly and easily be applied in the field.
