Hahira, GA (April 22, 2010) – Backwoods Life Television, the award-winning reality outdoors TV program currently airing 4 times a week on Pursuit Channel and ICTV, announced today it has named GhostBlind as its official ground blind partner.
Under the terms of the agreement, Backwoods Life TV will exclusively use GhostBlind’s innovative reflective panel ground blind during the 2010 television season- its 6th exciting season. In return, GhostBlind will promote their popular blind through commercials and billboard advertising during Backwoods Life TV episodes. The hosts of Backwoods Life TV Michael Lee, Trey Wetherington, and Kevin Knighton will also be featured on all of the 2010 GhostBlind product packaging to emphasize their strong support.
As a recent winner of 4 Bugle Awards for outdoors entertainment excellence, Backwoods Life TV has elevated its brand in the past year to become a high-profile marketing platform for all its sponsors. Michael Lee believes the exclusive partnership between Backwoods Life TV and GhostBlind creates an outstanding, mutually-beneficial opportunity.
“GhostBlind is truly an innovative concept that makes an awesome ground blind. There’s nothing else like it on the market!” said Lee, “Backwoods Life TV is extremely excited to work closely with Chet (Burdette) and Kevin (Pottmeyer) to ensure a profitable relationship. And with us using GhostBlind exclusively, we have already been more successful in the field.”
About GhostBlind
Chet Burdette and Kevin Pottmeyer are the co-founders of GhostBlind Industries Inc. Burdette, the originator of the GhostBlind concept, has 55 years of extensive hunting experience and was in Special Forces. After years of sitting in cold, uncomfortable tree stands he knew there had to be a better way. Pottmeyer has much experience in engineering, designing and marketing new products, so the pair made their first prototype several years ago to verify that the concept was valid. Since that time they have spent much effort on trying to perfect the GhostBlind by making it durable and lightweight. For more information, visit GhostBlind on the web at: http://www.GhostBlind.com

Bone Collector Co-Host Nick Mundt On Backwoods Life Radio
Bone Collector Co-Host Nick MundtBackwoods Life Radio, airing Wednesdays at 6:00PM EST locally on 105.9FM WVGA in Valdosta, GA and streamed live throughout the world over the internet, will have special guest Nick Mundt on the August 5th show.
Mundt, co-host of the Outdoor Channel hit show Bone Collector, will spend an hour live with Backwoods Life Radio hosts Michael Lee, Trey Wetherington, and Kevin Knighton. Listener’s questions are always welcome during the show by calling the WVGA phoneline at 229-241-1059.
Mundt spent his early years in life growing up in Spearfish, South Dakota and chasing big bucks in The Black Hills Area. He never imagined that his passion for hunting and the outdoors would turn into a full-time career as a TV co-host of a hunting show.
After graduating from Spearfish High School in 1991, Mundt attended barber college. He’s still licensed and cuts hair now for mainly family and friends, and time limits him from doing it more often.
A former hunting guide, Mundt met Michael Waddell and Travis T-Bone Turner while working 9 years as a Realtree cameraman and field producer. When Waddell started his own production company, Mundt went with him.
Mundt, when not traveling, hunting and filming around the world for Bone Collector, spends his off time in Brookings, SD – which is about 425 miles east of his hometown of Spearfish and near the Minnesota state line.
