Honest-to-God advice about how to enjoy nature. Outside magazine

Offerman brings dry humor and a reverence for nature and physical labor to his growing understanding of capitalist and colonial horrors, all while maintaining hope for the future.  
  Seattle Times

I found the book both entertaining and inspiring. . . . [It] has depths you may not expect from an actor/comedic performer/woodworker who goes to great lengths to entertain the audience but also has me thinking about the choices I make as I live in the world.   John Warner, Chicago Tribune

Offerman s thoughtful and hilarious musings at the nexus of human life and nature, particularly through the lens  of John Muir and Aldo Leopold . . . serves another welcome reminder that nature is for all.  

Funny, extremely sharp, and at the same time equally heartwarming, Offerman s love for the Land of the Free shines. Forbes
