See the MachineYour lungs quit on the walk. Not on the hunt.
COPD doesn't take the dogs from you. It takes the field. The two-hundred yards from the truck to where the dogs are working, and the two hundred back. This machine puts that ground back under you so the rest of the day can happen.
Built to remove the exertion, not the experience.
The hunt isn't the problem. The walking to and from the hunt is the problem. This is a tool that lets you keep the part you love and skip the part that was costing you the day.
No exertion to get there
Walking the field is what kills your wind. The machine does the walking. You save your breath for the dogs, the shot, and the story afterward.
Sit, breathe, ride
Seated platform, throttle control, no pushing, no pulling. You can ride with an O2 setup on board and a place to clip it down so it doesn't bounce.
Back in the field with the dogs
Dogs don't care if you've slowed down. They care if you're out there. This puts you out there for the whole hunt instead of the first hundred yards.
"I had quit hunting in my own head two years before I quit hunting on the calendar. The machine got me back on the lease before I admitted I'd ever left."

A 10-second self-check.
If most of these sound like you, the next step is a no-pressure conversation, not a sales pitch.
You've been diagnosed with COPD, emphysema, pulmonary fibrosis, or something similar that's quietly shortened every walk.
Walking the field, the dove lease, the dog training grounds, or the back of the property has become the thing that ends the day before it starts.
You can transfer to a seat with help and operate either a handlebar throttle or a joystick.
You want to be out with the dogs, the hunting party, or the grandkids — not back at the truck waiting on a report.

When you're ready, explore every funding path
Cobble it together.
There's no single program that hands a TerrainHopper to a rider. The families that get one build a personal funding campaign — a grant here, a state loan there, a fundraiser, a sponsor, a chunk of savings. It works. It just takes a plan.
Talk Through Your Plan- 01
Stack the sources
Almost nobody pays for a TerrainHopper with a single check. The riders who get one usually combine a grant, a state loan, a fundraiser, and a family contribution. Plan for three to five sources, not one.
- 02
Start with what's closest
Apply to a state assistive-tech loan and one or two grants first — those have the longest timelines. Then open a fundraiser to close the gap once you know the number.
- 03
Tell one honest story
A short video, a few photos, and the specific outdoor thing you want back. People don't fund a wheelchair — they fund a grandfather back in the deer woods, a mom back at the lake, a kid back on the trail.
- 04
Ask the rooms you're already in
Church, hunting club, VFW, neighborhood, employer, Ducks Unlimited or NWTF chapter, your kids' school. Local money moves faster than national grants.
What worked for you?
We sell machines. You and your family have actually lived COPD — the appointments, the denials, the grant forms, the fundraiser that finally broke open, the local club that wrote the check nobody saw coming. That's knowledge we don't have and can't fake.
If you've put together funding for adaptive equipment — yours, a loved one's, anybody's — tell us how. We'll fold what you share into the advice we give the next COPD family that lands on this page.
Share What Worked- · Which grant, loan, or program actually came through for you?
- · Which ones were a dead end — so we can stop sending people there?
- · What did your fundraiser look like? What made it work?
- · Any local source — church, club, employer, foundation — most families miss?
- · What do you wish someone had told you on day one?
We'll listen more than we talk.
