EZ HIKERTM CHAIR MAKES THE WILDERNESS ACCESSIBLE FOR THE DISABLED

Hiking access to the wilderness should be available to everyone;elderly and disabled hikers have for years not had access to remote camping, skiing and beach hiking areas. Tom Ruedy of Milwaukie, Oregon, decided recently to invent a way to get out in the wilderness. The new hiker’s chair, makes outback hiking a cinch for the severely disabled and anyone who cannot walk.

HISTORY

Ruedy, 51, is originally from Lake Oswego, Oregon. He became an Eagle Scout in 1972 while a member of the Boy Scouts of America. Ruedy hiked many trails throughout the Oregon Cascade Mountains as part of his Scouting experience. He continued to hike and camp until 1984 when he fractured his neck in a freak diving accident on the Columbia River near the Portland Airport. "There are a lot of places I’d been where I couldn’t revisit, and now I can go wherever I want again... I feel so released." said Ruedy. When asked where is his first hiking destination, Ruedy quickly replied "Punchbowl Falls on Eagle Creek near Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River." Ruedy has a huge photo of Punchbowl Falls hanging in his home's dining room to remind him.

ACCESSIBILITY

For the adventure seeker of any age or ability, everywhere is now accessible. With Ruedy’s invention and a couple of willing "mushers," the severely disabled hiker can exceed formidable barriers to remote camping destinations.
