86 years old (Born on May 17, 1939)

Happy Birthday, Gary Paulsen! Your adventures have inspired countless readers to brave the wilderness—or at least imagine they could. From surviving alone in "Hatchet" to racing sled dogs across frozen tundra, you've shown us that life's greatest stories often involve a little frostbite and plenty of courage.

Congratulations on your continued success and timeless storytelling. Whether it's teaching survival skills or making us laugh with tales of misadventure, you always remind us that humor is essential—even when stranded in the woods. Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer mosquitoes than Brian faced but just as many unforgettable moments!
