A recommended read for fans of Nick Offerman as well as people who appreciate nature and conservationism。 Not exactly a memoir， but more of a love letter to nature， and a pretty good one at that。

This book goes on a lot of tangents and has a lot of extra details。 I have read Nick before and find some things so funny while being so intelligent。Hearing stories of Jeff Tweedy and George Saunders travel national parks was worth the read for me。 I love Nick’s passion for what he writes about but think this could use a bit of editing。 Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC for my honest review。

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced readers copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 I love Nick Offerman and I love the one other book I read by him and his wife， The Greatest Love Story Ever Told。 More than half of this book was talking about his opinions on sustainability and ethical and humane issues that come to food production。 There were also times that he talks about humans being too gluttonous and using too many of the the resources on Earth。 Unfortunatel Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced readers copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 I love Nick Offerman and I love the one other book I read by him and his wife， The Greatest Love Story Ever Told。 More than half of this book was talking about his opinions on sustainability and ethical and humane issues that come to food production。 There were also times that he talks about humans being too gluttonous and using too many of the the resources on Earth。 Unfortunately in the last part of the book he talks about buying a 30ft Airstream to travel across country in the most hypocritical twist of events in this book。 This was to say the least， extremely disappointing。 I agree with Offerman in a lot of areas， actually in most areas。 However， this story was in poor taste in this book。 It may have been better suited for another book of a different subject matter。 This completely turned me off from this book。 I was hoping at the end of this chapter he would have touched on how hypocritical this story was， and how his wealth was showing， but he did not。 If he would have mentioned that， this book may have been redeemed for me。 I give this two stars because I love his writing style。 Even though I am reading it in my head it is written as he speaks and I can almost hear him reading the book to me in my head。 I will continue to read his books， but this one was not a winner for me sadly。 。。。more

I think， for the right person this is absolutely the right book。 Offerman's editor lets him run wild， with musings on agriculture， nature， consumerism， and humanity's place in all of it （mostly， that we screw everything up， not an unfair assessment）。 This is Nick Offerman's love letter to the great outdoors， so if you want to go on that journey with him， this is the book。 I think， for the right person this is absolutely the right book。 Offerman's editor lets him run wild， with musings on agriculture， nature， consumerism， and humanity's place in all of it （mostly， that we screw everything up， not an unfair assessment）。 This is Nick Offerman's love letter to the great outdoors， so if you want to go on that journey with him， this is the book。 。。。more

I love his sense of humor as he teaches us to step out of our 21st century world and appreciate what the land around us has to offer if only we will let it。
