The Longest Journey Begins With A Single Step. . . David Lien grew up in the small northern Minnesota town of Grand Rapids and started fishing at the age of four. He shot his first squirrel when he was eight, was hunting ruffed grouse at age eleven and started deer hunting the next fall. At thirteen David killed his first deer with a Ruger .44 Magnum rifle handed down to him by his grandfather, WW II/U.S. Navy veteran John Boyce. These early hunting experiences laid the foundation for Davids later climbing and trekking in some of the worlds most remote and rugged regions, including South Americas Patagonia, Asias Himalayas, Australias Outback, and the interior of Antarctica. Hes also been to highest points in all 50 U.S. states and on the 54 highest peaks in Colorado (the 14ers). Davids worldwide travels have taken him to 36 countries on each of the seven continents. In addition, he has tackled some of the worlds highest and most dangerous mountains, including Mount McKinley in Alaska and Mount Everest in Nepal/Tibet. Lien turned back at 25,200 feet on the north/Tibet side of Mount Everest during May 2006, whereas two of his fellow expedition members died during their summit attempts. David Lien is a former Air Force officer, worldwide adventurer, accomplished mountaineer, lifelong hunter, founder and co-chair of the Minnesota Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, chairman of the Colorado Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, and in 2014 he was recognized by Field & Stream as a Hero of Conservation. His climbs, hunts and travels have taken him across Colorado, the country, and planet, and onto six of the Seven Summits (the highest points on each continent). Davids books include: 4/44/14 I (Four Years and Forty-Four Fourteeners): First Fourteeners (2010); 4/44/14 II: Nemesis (2011); Age-Old Quests: Hunting, Climbing & Trekking (2012); Age-Old Quests II: Hunting, Climbing & Trekking (2014); and Hunting for Experience: Tales of Hunting & Habita
