Who we are
You will notice throughout the website
our continual reference to doing things for our wounded and current active
duty troops
with
the
PVA Heritage Fund, everyone involved with Alaska's Great Outdoors is former
military or has a strong belief in our Armed Forces and our great country. Everything we do with and for them is very personal to all of
us as their commitment keeps us safe and free.

Doug Warren-
Founder- Half of
my life has been spent in the shooting and
fishing sports industry. I am a lifelong big game
hunter and angler with big game hunting experience from Alaska to
Maryland and fishing experience from Blue marlin in Kona, HI to stripers
in Maryland and most everything in between.
Original
Founder of theworldoutdoors.com, an internet based publication serving the hunting
and fishing enthusiast worldwide and former co-host of American Family
Outdoors. The past 10+ years have been spent
working with disabled Veterans and others with disabilities to develop
hunting and fishing programs designed to aid in their physical therapy
as well as remove barriers that have for so long made many areas of
our great outdoors inaccessible.
Thanks to great partners like
the Ken Onion Custom Knives, The Outdoor Channel, Kershaw Knives,
SureFire and Strider and celebrities like Country artist Aaron Tippin and NY
Jets Linebacker Cody Spencer we have been able to accomplish some
tremendous goals with the PVA Heritage Fund.
Since leaving Fairbanks in 1986
I have been returning to Alaska numerous times every year for new
hunting and Fishing adventures with our wounded soldiers from all over
the country.

Onion is a celebrity and top businessman in his own right through his
many innovative knife patents and designs as well as in the many other
arenas that he has contributed to with his many patents for knives,
steels and machinery. Ken is a die hard hunter and
angler and someone I am very proud to call a close friend. Ken is an
unselfish man that has dropped everything many times when we have
needed assistance with a project for our wounded Veterans anywhere
that might be in the country.

understands the sacrifices our wounded heroes have made for him and
all the rest of us here in our great nation.
