Gus Magilke

I was born and bred in South Dakota. Grew up on a ranch/farm in South Dakota & Minnesota. I have always worked outside. I've spent much of my spare time enjoying the out-of-doors in various forms my whole life. I enjoy hiking, cycling (in all its forms), grubbing for semiprecious stones, gold prospecting, canoeing, camping,and snowshoeing. I've been certified in cold weather survival by the National Science Foundation. I've spent a year in the Marshall Islands working & camping on various islands for the Dept. of Defense.
