Start Their AdventureEllie loves to explore everything she can on hikes, whether it’s animal tracks or new trails. She especially loves finding hidden areas that are off the beaten trail were she can enjoy nature to its fullest without a crowd. She has a particular love of primitive survival skills and loves how nature can be so beautiful and very unpredictable at the same time.
Ellie’s favorite animal is the fox because they are curious, strong and like to hunt alone. The fox represents everything she is herself. She has a curiosity of nature that surpasses many at her age. She’s a strong little girl who isn’t scared of what nature may throw at her and she loves to be self reliant while in nature as she has learned survival techniques, fishing skills and even began learning conservation and hunting skills at the age of 4.
Ellie’s favorite activity is to go to the rivers and lakes and go fishing! She also enjoys getting to float on the water and play in any waterfalls she finds. Ellie is quite an accomplished fisher with numerous different species of fish caught at such a young age.
