living life outside
My Story - The Short Version
Hi 👋 My name is Shaun Ezell
I am a 38 year old husband and father of 3 living in Southern California. I am a part time filmmaker and photographer with a focus on outdoor adventure. I am best known for the videos I share on my YouTube Channel Alpine Tactics.
Growing up my parents took my siblings and I camping once a year to a little campground in the Eastern Sierra. As a child I just loved sleeping in a tent, building a campfire, going fishing… I still love all of those things but this outdoor lifestyle has come to mean so much more to me than just going camping.
In my early 20’s I started camping with some close friends. Eventually our camping trips brought us to Yosemite National Park where we acquired a permit to hike to the summit of the iconic Half Dome. With a camera in hand, I came down from that hike a completely different person. This epic 19 hour 23 mile round trip day hike is a story better saved for another day but it felt like for the first time in my life I had really experienced adventure.
For the past 16 years one of my biggest priorities in life has been making more time for this outdoor lifestyle. Photography & Filmmaking has been a big part of that. This craft has become a wonderful second job for me and I do aspire to one day make it my full time career.
I now have 3 kids of my own and they sure seem to love sleeping in tents, making campfires and going fishing…
Thank you for reading - I would love to hear from you.
