Nick LeFort

Nick LeFort is a contributing writer of GearJunkie and makes guest appearances
in a handful of other outdoor and craft beer publications. He is also the author of
his own blog, The Tribe of Flannel and part owner of Ragged Mountain Knife
Works.

LeFort has been writing for over thirty years, but spent ten years writing
professionally about knives and tools, off-roading, overlanding, and outdoor
living. Prior to GearJunkie, LeFort was the Director of Knife and Tool Testing for
Gear Institute.

Based in Connecticut, LeFort is an avid wanderer and loves spending as much
time as possible in the outdoors with his two daughters. That includes doing his
best to find all the best muddy ruts throughout New England to see if he can ever
get his 4th Gen 4Runner ever stuck. So far, so good. In 2017 he helped open a
brewery in Connecticut, and is an avid supporter of local breweries.
