First name:Adam
Location: Western North Carolina
Type of mobility issue & how it effects you in the outdoors: I have been a below knee amputee for 21 years. I am a very short below the knee so keeping my balance is always an issue on uneven terrain. I also have Crohns and an irregular heart beat that is medicinally managed, but when I am in rythym I feel whole again and walk without feeling extremely tired
I have always just pushed myself and never thought about stopping. I like it when people dont notice I am amputee until I tell them.
Vehicle :1986 Toyota Landcruiser, sliders, front ARB, rear with spare and ladder, Dual optima's, IPF headlights, hella offroad lights, and so much more. It is always a work in progress.
Tell us about some of your adventures: Mostly camping and some light hiking with my wife and 2 daughters. We moved into the area about 2 years ago and have just recently started doing some small hikes into the national forest. I am within 30 minutes of Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Nantahala National Forest, and Pisgah National Forest.
Mine is the blue fj60
