I'm Eric. I'm 54, and I'm a contributor to the Northman's Outdoor blog.
I've spent years buying and using outdoor and workwear gear, and a lot of that experience has gone into figuring out what actually works — not the version on the packaging, the version after a few months of real use.
This blog is where I put that down in writing. Not press-release copy, not generic gear reviews — the ordinary, practical things that make a difference once you're actually using the stuff day to day.
I'm not a doctor or a specialist of any kind, and I'll say so on any page where it matters.
What I have is real experience with the gear I write about, and a lot of conversations with people about what worked for them and what didn't. When I write about something I haven't tried personally, I say so. When I'm not sure about something, I say that too — there's enough confident marketing out there already, and not much honest explanation.
I'm in the Midwest. Most days I'm on my feet, one way or another.
