Hilarious and heartwarming stories of outdoor mishaps and misadventures from the beloved five-time New York Times bestselling humorist, Patrick F. McManus, "a writer who makes people laugh out loud, hard." (The New York Times)

In these twenty-seven outrageous tales of camping, hunting, birding, berry-picking, and surviving county fairs, the hysterical Patrick F. McManus offers insights on the qualities that define leadership (beginning with the need to be tall) and much more--lessons gleaned from his own tortuous path as an outdoorsman.

Including such classic stories as "My Hike with, ahem, the President" and "Excuse Me While I Get Out of the Way."

Patrick F. McManus (1933-2018) is the author of novels, plays, and more than a dozen collections of his humor columns from Outdoor Life and other magazines.
