- JEFF ZAUSCH is a master of extreme environments, whether they are desert, alpine, arctic, or tropical. Pushing himself to the limit and overcoming what most people think is physically impossible is what drives him.
Jeff developed his love and respect for the outdoors as a boy in the mountains of Idaho. Jeff spent countless hours in the mountains, learning the ways of nature and following in his family tradition of hunting. As a young man he became an expert tracker, hunter and trapper and by his early twenties he had already summited many of the highest peaks in the Northwest United States.
Whether hunting or summiting mountains Jeff continues to further his survival knowledge by mastering all environments he encounters. Best known for being on Discovery Channel's Naked and Afraid and Naked And Afraid XL, Jeff has yet to find an landscape that he could not overcome with his primitive survival skills, but he plans to keep searching and pushing the limits of what others say is "impossible".

- Jeff's first hunting kill was not actually a living animal. While deer hunting when he was 12 years old, Jeff shot too high, injuring a female deer. He hopped on his 4-wheeler and threw his Winchester 30-30 rifle loosely on the front gun rack. When driving down a steep mountain trail; chasing his injured deer; the gun rattled loose from the gun rack. The gun fell down between the gun rack and the body of the 4-wheeler and stuck in the ground. The momentum of the large 4-wheeler caused the old 30-30 Winchester to explode in half. Jeff found a piece of the stock 25 feet away in the forest. Every male member of his family had killed a deer with that very same rifle, going back to the 1960's! Instead of a trophy buck hanging on the wall of his grandfathers house, there is now a plaque that reads "Jeff's First Kill"; with 2 pieces of a destroyed Winchester rifle mounted on the wall.
