I’m Chair Number 2.
They call me Reeve.
I arrived in 2015, placed at North Bristol Sportsman’s Club in Sun Prairie, WI. I wasn’t the first outdoor wheelchair, but I knew I had an important job. I was here to help people explore—to roll through fields, trails, and places that once felt impossible to reach.
The day I carried my first rider was unforgettable. They climbed into my seat, placed their hand on my joystick, and pushed forward. The ground beneath my wheels felt different—grass, dirt, rocks—but I didn’t stop. My rider trusted me, and I made sure we kept moving.
Some days, I roll through peaceful open fields. Other days, I tackle rough terrain, proving that adventure is for everyone. I have carried hunters, hikers, explorers—people who just want to feel the fresh air and go farther than they ever thought they could.
Chair #1 started this journey, but now it’s my turn. I am Chair #2, and I roll forward, always.

I’m Chair 3. That’s T-I-double-G-ER, and that spells Tigger!

Just like my namesake from Winnie the Pooh, I was built for adventure. I may not bounce like him, but I roll, climb, and conquer the outdoors with just as much enthusiasm!

When I first heard I was going to Wehr Nature Center, I thought… Where? My trailer carried me to my new home, and my driver finally said, “We’re here, Tigger! We made it to Wehr.” And there it was—a big sign that said Wehr Nature Center. The first people I met, Carly and Emily, welcomed me with big smiles. Their mission was clear: No one should be left behind in nature. That made me feel incredible—I wasn’t just a chair. I was freedom, excitement, and a chance for everyone to explore the outdoors!

Visitors admired my bright orange and black stripes, saying, “Wow! You look just like Tigger!” And I couldn’t agree more—I stand bold, cheerful, and always ready for action! I may not have rubber on top or springs on the bottom, but I’m strong, steady, and built for adventure!

Then came my first ride. My joystick moved, my wheels turned, and I trounced, pounced, and bounced (in my own way) through rocks, bricks, and woodchips. I tackled every trail with determination—because adventure is what Tiggers do best!

Now, I’ve moved to Rock County, ready for my next adventure. Who knows where I’ll roll next? But one thing is for sure—wherever I go, I’ll bring energy, excitement, and outdoor freedom to everyone I meet.

For those who don’t know Wehr it is—it’s time you find out!

Love, T-I-double-G-ER… that’s me, Tigger!

During my time at Wehr, I met someone special—Nick. He was an intern helping others learn about accessibility in nature. At first, he was hesitant to transfer from his wheelchair, but when he did… we rolled all the way to the waterfall. His first time seeing it up close! I was thrilled—because if there’s one thing Tiggers love, it’s making people smile!

I’m Chair Number 4.
I was built for strength, resilience, and adventure. Unlike some of my fleetmates, I don’t sparkle—I blend in. My camo frame is designed for the wild, ready to take on tough terrain and roll through the great outdoors.

I arrived in 2018, first placed at the AAW Main Office in Mineral Point, WI. My mission? To provide Outdoors Access 4 All, making sure that trails, fields, and forests are open to anyone who wants to explore.

Over time, I’ve carried hunters, hikers, explorers, and families to places they thought they’d never reach. My right-hand joystick makes sure every move is smooth and controlled, helping my riders feel confident as we navigate woodlands, grasslands, and rugged paths.

Now, I’ve started a new chapter—I live at Lussier Family Heritage Center in McFarland, WI, waiting for my next adventure. I roll when an AAW Volunteer is available, because every journey is a partnership. Together, we push boundaries, break limits, and make sure nature belongs to everyone.

Where will I go next? That’s up to you. Reserve me, and let’s explore the outdoors together!

I am Chair #6, known as OWC#6.L. My name carries a special meaning—I'm designed for access, built specifically for left-handed riders to ensure smooth and intuitive control.

I arrived in 2018 at the AAW Main Office in Mineral Point, WI, ready to serve. My mission? To provide freedom, mobility, and access to the great outdoors for those who refuse to let physical limitations hold them back.

As an outdoor wheelchair, I’m built for adventure. My rugged design allows me to tackle rough terrain, whether it’s winding trails, open fields, or dense forests. My left-handed controls make movement seamless, ensuring that every rider can navigate with confidence.

I was part of a special order—three chairs purchased together, each with its own purpose and rider in mind. Since then, I’ve stood ready, waiting for my next journey. Whether it’s hunting, hiking, or simply enjoying the fresh air, I’m here to make sure no path is off-limits.

I am Chair #6—OWC#6.L, designed for access and built for adventure. Where will I go next?

I’m Chair Number 7.
Back in 2023, I arrived at Pringle Nature Center in Bristol Woods County Park, Bristol, WI. The staff welcomed me with open arms, helping me learn the trails and meet the community. I was living the dream—family vacations, school field trips, adventures with veterans—all of it was incredible!
But what they didn’t tell me? The gnomes were coming.
Every December, gnomes move into the trails, hiding and waiting for people to find them. They’re sneaky. They’re everywhere. And let me tell you—I DID NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS! Visitors reserved me, rolling through the woods to spot those little troublemakers tucked into trees and behind rocks.
Fast forward to 2025, and I’ve started a brand-new adventure—I now live at Wehr Nature Center! My first big event? Maple Sugar Days, where visitors learned how syrup is made. I rolled alongside them as they discovered the magic of turning sap into something sweet.
I may have left behind the gnomes (thank goodness!), but my story isn’t over. I’m here, ready to explore, share the outdoors, and roll into new adventures.

Chair Number 8—OWC#8

I am Chair #8, known as OWC#8. My purpose? To provide access, mobility, and independence for those who seek adventure beyond the pavement.

I arrived in 2018 at the AAW Main Office in Mineral Point, WI, before making my way up to Barron County. My mission is clear—ensuring that outdoor spaces remain open to everyone, regardless of mobility challenges.

As an outdoor wheelchair, I’m built for rugged terrain. My sleek black design stands out, ready for action. With my right-side joystick, I offer smooth control, making navigation effortless. While I don’t have a CC back, my sturdy frame ensures stability and comfort for every rider.

As the first rays of dawn paint the sky with hues of gold and crimson, an all-terrain wheelchair awakens from its slumber, its sturdy frame humming with anticipation. Today's mission takes it into the heart of deer hunting country. Alongside seasoned hunters and their families, this trusty companion embarks on a journey of camaraderie and shared passion for the outdoors. The wheelchair navigates through the rugged terrain with ease, its wheels gliding over rocks and fallen logs as if traversing a smooth pavement. Its presence amidst the hunters and their families is not merely one of convenience but one of inclusion. It bridges the gap between physical limitations and the thrill of the hunt, ensuring that everyone can partake in this cherished tradition.

Throughout the day, the wheelchair bears witness to moments of profound connection between hunters and their families. It observes as fathers share their hunting knowledge with their sons, their voices echoing through the stillness of the forest. It senses the excitement of children as they eagerly scan the horizon for signs of deer, their eyes wide with wonder. And it feels the camaraderie that binds the hunters, their shared passion for the outdoors forging an unbreakable bond.

As the sun begins its descent, casting long shadows across the landscape, the wheelchair joins the hunters and their families around a crackling campfire. The air is filled with the aroma of freshly cooked venison, laughter, and stories shared under the starlit sky. In these moments, the wheelchair is not merely a piece of equipment but an integral part of the experience, fostering a sense of community and belonging.

As the embers of the campfire dwindle and the hunters and their families retire for the night, the wheelchair stands sentinel, its presence a testament to the power of inclusion. It has played its part in creating memories that will last a lifetime, ensuring that the thrill of the hunt is accessible to all. With a sense of satisfaction, the wheelchair settles into its resting place, ready to embark on another adventure when the sun rises once more.

Help us build new stories.

Here is a story from the past -

As the sun begins to rise over the tranquil landscape of Upham Woods Outdoor Learning Center, an Access Ability Wisconsin all-terrain wheelchair awakens, ready to embark on another day of empowering young minds and fostering a deep connection with nature. With its rugged tires and sturdy frame, this trusty companion is a beacon of accessibility, eagerly anticipating the arrival of eager students eager to explore the wonders of the forest. The day unfolds in a flurry of activity as the wheelchair embarks on a series of youth environmental education field trips. Navigating through the winding trails, it carries students on a journey of discovery, revealing the hidden secrets of the ecosystem. They marvel at the towering trees, their branches reaching towards the sky like outstretched arms, and listen intently as the rustling leaves whisper tales of the forest's inhabitants.

I’m Chair Number 20.
They call me Tigger II.

If you know the original Tigger, you know one thing—he’s bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy, and full of fun! And just like him, I was built for energy, adventure, and breaking barriers.

I arrived in 2023, placed at the AAW Main Office in Mineral Point, WI. My mission? To bring Outdoors Access 4 All, ensuring that anyone with mobility challenges has the chance to explore the trails, forests, and fields without limitations.

I’m built for excitement, just like my namesake. My orange and black splash design stands out, bold and ready for action. My right-side joystick and left-side tilt make movement smooth, while my flip-up footrest ensures a comfortable ride. Need extra stability? My Tigger II adult harness and seatbelt extender keep every rider secure.

But I don’t stop there—I come with a mounted gun rest, making sure hunters have the access they need to pursue their passions. Whether navigating a wooded path, open fields, or rough terrain, I’m designed to keep rolling forward.

Now, I wait for my next adventure. Whether it’s hunting, hiking, or simply enjoying the fresh air, I’m ready to roll wherever my rider takes me.

Spiderman, Spiderman — rolls wherever a hunter can…
No web-slinging here — just grip, grit, and go mode.

I was built in 2023 but I’ve already hauled folks through muddy food plots, frosty overlooks, and prairie trails where tires dare not tread. Left-hand control? Got it. Extra-wide for stability? You bet.

They named me Spiderman because I get people out of sticky situations. Not just terrain — isolation, frustration, fatigue. I’ve carried veterans back to the woods, helped grandparents join family hikes, and cruised through more deer blinds than I can count.

🎶 Look out! Here comes the Spiderman…

Whether you're chasing gobblers or just the sunset, I’m ready to roll. All I need is a mission.

I am Chair #23W, but you can call me The Hulk—big, bold, and built for power. Just like my superhero namesake, I am unstoppable, ready to smash through barriers and take on any terrain.

With my 24-inch wide frame and black-and-green design, I stand strong, ready to provide access to the outdoors for those who refuse to be held back. I don’t just roll—I dominate trails, fields, and rugged landscapes with sheer force.

“Come with me, and you’ll be, in a world of pure terrain liberation…”

I’m Chair 25W, but folks call me The Willy Wonka — because I bring the color, the chaos, and the kind of access that feels like magic.

I wear a bold purple and yellow splash coat and roll on a Gen I track system that’s been through everything from brush-filled trails to backcountry blinds. With my right-hand joystick, left tilt, and swing-arm footrest, I’m designed to move you and move with you.

You’ll find me at Blue Hills Sportsman’s Club, helping veterans chase new memories, kids explore wild spaces, and families reconnect across rugged ground.

“Wanna change the world? There’s nothing to it…”

Because Chair 25W isn’t just here for the photo op —

I’m here to hand out golden tickets to the outdoors.

I’m Chair Number 26.
They call me Ariel.

Like the mermaid I’m named after, I was built for exploration, adventure, and breaking barriers. Ariel longed to discover the world beyond the ocean, and I? I bring people into the great outdoors—past obstacles, past limits, into nature’s beauty.

I arrived in 2024, placed at the AAW Main Office in Mineral Point, WI. My mission? To make Outdoors Access 4 All a reality. I wasn’t just another chair—I was here to make waves, ensuring that more families and individuals could experience the outdoors without limits.

Then came my first ride. My joystick moved, my wheels turned, and I set off into forests, trails, lakesides, and all the places that once felt out of reach. Every roll of my wheels was a step toward freedom—an invitation to create new memories outdoors.

I shine like the deep ocean, my teal frame shimmering in the sunlight, standing out like a treasure from the sea. Just like Ariel the mermaid, I long to be part of your world—to bring people closer to nature, to moments of joy, discovery, and adventure.

I come with special features perfect for exploration—a high-low seat for comfort, an umbrella for shade, and a fishing pole holder for peaceful days by the water. I don’t just carry people—I carry stories, laughter, and memories made with loved ones.

Thanks to two generous anonymous donors, I joined AAW’s growing fleet, bringing the dream of mobility access in all 72 Wisconsin counties closer to reality. I exist because of people who believe in breaking barriers—who know that nature belongs to everyone.

Now, I wait for my next adventure—ready to roll forward, just like the waves.

I am Chair #26 in the catalog, but Chair #33 in the fleet—wherever I go, I bring the freedom to explore.

I’m Chair 34 — OWC#27, but most folks know me as “Indigo Bunting.”
I’m named after a bird that’s hard to miss — bright blue, full of energy, and never afraid to chart new paths.
I may be new to the fleet, but I was built with purpose: smooth movement, strong performance, and ready to help folks rediscover their love for the outdoors.
My right-hand joystick gives steady handling, and my setup is built for all kinds of outings — from garden paths to lakeside trails. I’ll be making appearances at community events, checkouts, and adventures across the Driftless soon.
I was born in 2024, but my story starts with the people I serve.
Whether it’s your first ride or your fiftieth, I’m here to help you move through nature — on your terms.
Just like the bird I’m named after — I go where I’m called. Loud, proud, and free.

I’m Chair 33 — OWC# J1.W.
But folks around here call me the Mean Green John Kilian Machine.

I was named after a man who walks the walk — or in this case, rolls the trail. John Kilian didn’t just volunteer — he got in the chair, felt the freedom, and said, "More people need this."

Since then, John’s helped haul trailers, check out gear, fix what’s broken, and smile with every client that gets a taste of outdoor freedom. He’s not just a volunteer — he’s part of this chair’s DNA.

I’ve got a 24" wide seat, green camo body, and armrests that raise together — so a transfer handle is a must. But once you’re in? You’re in good company.

Whether it’s ice fishing season or a warm day at the range, I roll with purpose. I’ve seen veterans return to traditions, kids light up at trapshooting events, and whole families connect in ways they thought were lost.

Chair 33 stands for loyalty, legacy, and access with a mission.

And if John’s name is on it ... You better believe it’s ready for action.

“I wasn’t built to be pretty. I was built to hunt.”

I’m Chair 27 — OWC#E1, better known in the woods as the WTU Whitetail Warrior. Camo-patterned, outfitted with a gun holder, and transfer-ready from either side, I’m a no-nonsense chair that’s logged serious miles and even more memories.

Whether it’s early morning turkey blinds, midday bow practice, or getting Grandpa back to his tree stand, I’m the go-to for folks who don’t want frills — they want freedom.

My joystick can switch sides with a little setup, and my swing-up armrests make transfers easier for right- or left-side access. When you need versatility, I’m your guy. When you need grit, I’m already packed.

🦌 Chair 27 don’t mess around.

I’ve been part of Whitetails Unlimited programming since 2016, and I’ve still got tread left and stories to write. The only thing I need is a new rider and a reason to roll.

Hello I am chair #E2, my name is Big Badger. I am painted red & white the same colors as the University of Wisconsin. I spend most days hanging out in a dark trailer kept safe and warm but really look forward to being outside and meeting new people. I have met some great people young and old since I have been in Barron County and look forward to meeting more people. Please look for me at your area events and stop to say Hi.

Hi I am chair E3N, my name is Baby Badger. I am new to Barron County. I am a narrow chair for youth and smaller framed people, I may be small but can do everything that my bigger friends can do, except tilt. Like my other chair friends I hope that you will look for us at your local events and stop by and say Hi.

I’m Chair 30, better known as Betsy.

Not every chair in the fleet looks like me, and that’s the point. I stand out — but not just because I’m pink.

I’ve shown up for cancer survivors on their first hike back, for kids with mobility challenges at outdoor camps, and for families making new memories together.

My left armrest folds down for easier transfers from the passenger side of a vehicle — a detail that’s changed everything for some riders. I’ve got a right-hand joystick, tight handling, and a reputation for showing up at the big events — trail rides, hunts, expos, fairs, you name it.

My paint job might turn heads, but I’m here to get people back outside — with dignity, ease, and no apologies.

Chair 30. OWC E4. Call me Betsy. Let’s go

I’m Chair 32 — OWC#E6-N, better known as “Little Hiker.”

I don’t take up much space — but I take on big terrain.

I’m the narrow model that tilts, with adjustable joystick and tilt switch that can be moved to either side. Outfitted for serious use — whether it’s angling for trout, hitting a tight trail, or adapting on the fly.

From my camo seating to my hi-low gun carrier, every part of me was built with thought. I’m used by the best — John, Steve, and Monica — to scout terrain, support events, and lead by example.

I’ve been out on HR3 programs, mentored hunts, and trail assessments across the Driftless. I'm not for general checkout — because my job is to go where it matters most.

Small footprint. Big mission.

Little Hiker. Chair 32. Built for leaders who walk the talk.
