AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0017] The cloth for the pack and the blind portions will be of a water resistant or waterproof material which is lightweight, strong and durable. The cloth may be nylon, polyester or canvas or a blend of these and other materials. The cloth material will have a camouflage pattern.
[0021] Having the option to hunt from ground or tree gives the user the ability to quickly adjust to changing weather conditions and the ability to use terrain and environment to the best advantage possible.
[0022] Having the user side or the entry side of the pack facing the user has advantages like better organization, reduction of noise and movement, and readiness. The pack user should know exactly where an item is located inside the pack. He can retrieve the item when he needs it without hesitation and without excessive movement and noise. All is accomplished while concealed behind the screening effect of the Pack and Blind and it is accomplished without reduction of space.
[0023] The pack frame has a weapon holder so that the weapon or camera or other elongated items may be placed outside of the user area of the tree stand. And there are several hook and loop straps available to place or hang other items outside of the user area but inside concealed behind the blind. For example, inside the blind to either side of the pack there is a hook and loop strap positioned to especially accommodate hanging an arrow quiver loaded with arrows, thereby increasing a hunter's readiness and making him more organized.
[0024] The portability and its readiness to accept the ground setup or the tree stand setup make the user able to change his pursuit from one species to another without delay. The pack frame can also be used to pack large game back to base camps or other destinations. The blind extensions are removable and they can be used to wrap or protect cargo that may be packed upon the frame.
[0025] The Pack & Blind was intended to help the user be less detectable, better organized, more adaptable, most ready, and more successful.

Problems solved by technology

And that is the problem.
And the problem with most backpacks is that they are too small or too big, or not designed to organize most of the gadgets and accommodate the hunters' needs for extra jackets, lunch, and seating and gadget organization.
Most packs are not readily stored at the stand once you arrive.
The problem is where do you put them and keep them accessible for easy, quiet retrieval of the items you want or need?
A backpack in the tree stand can be detrimental to the safety, comfort and available user space of the tree stand occupant.

Embodiment Construction

[0037] The Pack & Blind frame is made of aluminum tubing (which may be square or round) or other rigid metals or fibers or plastics and consists of three parts. One part supports the backpack and each of the other two parts supports one of the two blind extensions (FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 1C).

[0038] The pack frame is shaped similar to a four-legged walker (FIG. 1A). The four legs support the pack while on the ground and the top portion of the frame (shaped similar to the handles of a walker) serve as a weapon holder (FIG. 2B) and a hanger for the pack when used from an elevated tree stand position (FIG. 2C).

[0039] The blind frame parts are each shaped like the number 7. The lower portion is pushed by hand into the soil to support the blinds when erected on the ground (FIGS. 1B and 1C). The upper portion hangs from the tree stand seat rail on the sides (FIG. 2C).

[0040] Within the pack frame is a cloth pack made of a water-resistant or water proof material (FIG. 4A).
