Wiki/Bio
Marty Meierotto was born in North Wisconsin, U.S, to parents Karen Meierotto and Thomas T. Meierotto. He is three of the siblings including Jeff Meierotto and Steve Meierotto. He belongs to white ethnicity.

Meierotto grew up picking up the traits of his father, Karen who was also a professional trapper. His first experience at the age of 7 left a deep impression when his father took him to check on trapline outside their house in northern Wisconsin.
Upon completion of high school Marty found difficult to become a trapper due to fewer number of animals compared to the number of trapper around in Wisconsin. During the time young lads from his hometown moved to Alaska each year seeking opportunities. Similarly, Marty and his brother Jeff left in 1985 to live in the woods of Alaska.
A career as Fur Trapper
After moving this survivalist worked at Fairbanks as a Janitor, a logger and even on construction only to earn enough money for food, trapping tools, and a tent so that he could go for trapping and hunting during his free time.
He never gave up on his dream rather dedicated himself and built a one-man cabin in the Alaskan wilderness. During the hunting season, he had to spread out the trap-line 200 miles away from the human civilization where the temperature dropped 30 to 40 degrees below zero.
In summers he worked for the Alaska Fire Service as a smoke-jumper. As he is familiar with the Alaskan woods navigation this job seems to be easy money earning for him which helps him a lot to support his family. As soon as summer ends he returns for trapping where he collects Lynx for the fur to sell in the city.

I’m a soon to be 74 year old from Crandon Wi. I lived in a log house most my young life! Learned to trap from Uncle mainly muskrats, beaver’s and mink! Minnows in the summer! I really enjoyed Marty’s show the best! Tom Ohar’s seconded. The whole mountain man series has really been great Thanks to all! A 21 year Veteran of the U.S.A.F.
Mountain Men is a really educational and interesting show. I especially like to watch Marty and seeing his family sometimes. I was so sorry when he decided to leave the show. If he reads this I am hoping, as well as a lot of others that he will decide to return even if just for a few shows. It would be nice to see Marty and Noah work together.
