Christopher is a passionate outdoorsman, whittling fanatic, and writer who enjoys having the opportunity to share that passion with young people. Christopher has solo-hiked half the Appalachian trail, canoed in the north Maine woods and camped out anywhere he could find a flat site for his tent, including the hills of Arkansas, mountains in Nova Scotia and as much of his native Maryland as possible. He splits his time now between Northern Maine and Southern Vermont.
