Lifelong outdoorsman and Eagle Scout; adventures across the globe
Ethan is a lifelong outdoorsman who has had adventures across the globe. He lives in Iowa, but his adventures most often take him to Wisconsin and Michigan. He camps, backpacks, canoes, kayaks, and bow hunts (bare bow) for turkey, and he loves the extreme outdoors. A gearhead and an Eagle Scout, he believes being prepared starts with making sure you have the right gear for the trip. He writes first-person field notes: gear he bought with his own money, trips that went wrong, and what he would do differently.
