What the outdoors mean to Eric:

The outdoors live in all of us. It’s not something we necessarily need to survive day to day, but it’s something we’re better for when we embrace it. Time in nature has a way of resetting your perspective—whether that’s on the water, in the field, or just away from the noise. It’s where you reconnect, refocus, and remember what matters.
