Wendell has been involved in outdoor activities as long as he can remember. From building forts in the woods with his buddies as a kid to hunting Pheasant with his Dad. When he grew up and moved away from home he started solo camping and backpacking and continued hunting upland game.
Later in life his outdoors pursuits focused on teaching his sons and being with them outside. He was introduced to the world of volunteer search and rescue and immersed himself in that cause and learned allot about land navigation, survival and just pushing through problems when in the field. He retired from search and rescue volunteer work after serving almost 10 years.
