Base Camp Stories: “There’s nothing to do here;” Raising Ohio Adventure Awareness – Paul Fuzinski
Paul has traveled all across the United States hiking, climbing mountains, hunting Sasquatch, catching sharks, competing in adventure races and much more. Despite these experiences, he finds captivating adventures here in the Northwest Ohio region. Many people think they need to travel to faraway places to find adventure when we have so much to see right here in our own backyards. Paul has set out to dispel the myth that “there’s nothing to do here” and showcase our regional adventure possibilities.
You may recognize Paul from his popular podcast Aptitude Outdoors, his former Buckeye Cable program Take it Outside, or one of his many endeavors benefiting our community through the Wood County Park District, Metroparks Toledo, Partners for Clean Streams, Friends for Life Residential Care, and many more. Paul is a highly experienced adventurer, fisher, hunter, filmmaker, media producer, anthropologist, conservationist and has thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail.
