signing singly, the undersigned's true and lawful
attorney-in-fact to:

(1) execute for and on behalf of the undersigned
(in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules
thereunder (the "Exchange Act")), any and all
Forms 3, 4 and/or 5, and any amendments thereto,
that are necessary or advisable to report the

the equity securities of Johnson Outdoors Inc.,
a Wisconsin corporation (the "Company"), for
purposes of compliance with section 16(a) of
the Exchange Act, (collectively, "Documents");

(2) do and perform any and all acts for and on
behalf of the undersigned that may be necessary
or desirable to complete and execute any such
Documents and timely file such Documents with
the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission and any stock exchange or similar
authority; and

(3) take any other action of any type
whatsoever in connection with the foregoing
which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact,
may be of benefit to, in the best interest of,
or legally required by, the undersigned, it
being understood that the documents executed
by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of the
undersigned pursuant to this Power of
Attorney shall be in such form and shall

The undersigned hereby grants to each such
