Explanation of Responses:

1. H. Fisk Johnson is filing this Form 3 because he may be deemed (but does not hereby admit that he is) part of a 13(d) group that owns more than 10% of Johnson Outdoors outstanding common stock. This Form 3 reports the shares of Johnson Outdoors common stock in which Dr. Johnson may be deemed to have a pecuniary interest under Rule 16a-1(a)(2).

2. H. Fisk Johnson reports these shares as settlor and beneficiary of the H. Fisk Johnson Revocable Trust (the "Trust"), which beneficially owns the reported shares directly, or indirectly as a shareholder of certain corporations and as the general partner of certain limited partnerships. Dr. Johnson reports all shares held by certain corporations of which the Trust may be deemed to be a controlling shareholder. In addition, Dr. Johnson reports all shares held by certain limited partnerships of which the Trust is a general partner. Due to the nature of such limited partnerships, it is impractical to determine the Trust's proportionate interest (as defined by Rule 16a-1(a)(2)(ii)(B)) in such limited partnerships. Dr. Johnson disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares directly or indirectly held by the Trust in which he does not have a pecuniary interest.

3. H. Fisk Johnson reports these shares as the sole trustee of certain trusts for Johnson family members, which beneficially own the reported shares directly. Dr. Johnson disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares held by the trusts in which he does not have a pecuniary interest.

4. H. Fisk Johnson reports these shares as the controlling shareholder of a corporation, which beneficially owns the reported shares directly. Dr. Johnson disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares held by the corporation in which he does not have a pecuniary interest.

5. Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time on a one-share-for-one-share basis into Class A Common Stock.

6. Stock option granted pursuant to that certain Option Agreement, dated July 8, 2003, by and among the Samuel C. Johnson 1988 Trust Number 1 dated September 14, 1988, as amended and restated, Helen P. Johnson Leipold, S. Curtis Johnson, H. Fisk Johnson and Winifred J. Marquart.
