Chris Maxcer is an avid fly fisher, camper, backpacker, public land hunter, and outdoor gear-loving expert. As an outdoor enthusiast, he has spent decades in the mountains and on rivers and lakes enjoying the great American outdoors. Maxcer has fly fished for coho salmon next to Kodiak brown bears in Alaska, backpacked among mountain goats, whitewater rafted the Middle Fork of the Salmon River through the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, has chased bugles in rugged terrain while archery elk hunting in Idaho, and, perhaps most importantly, has cracked open cold beers in front of hundreds of campfires with friends and family. As the lead author and publisher of Man Makes Fire, he’s written hundreds of articles and outdoor gear reviews and buying guides, but what he enjoys most is testing and reviewing outdoor gear where it belongs — outside.
