What to expect
Join America’s favorite outdoor funnyman and his pals—Retch, Rancid, and Crazy Eddie—on a bumbling expedition into the Idaho Rockies. Along the way, McManus pauses to ponder some important ethical questions. Suppose, for example, you’re hiking in the mountains with your best friend when he is suddenly
attacked by a grizzly bear. Do you a) flee as fast as you can to safety, or b) pause long enough to ask your friend to toss you the car keys? While McManus searches for the answer, he finds time to scare a few fish, burn a campfire dinner, and even take a hike with—ahem—the President of the United States.
“Describing Patrick F. McManus as an outdoor humorist is like saying Mark Twain wrote books about small boys. He is the funniest writer around today—indoors or outdoors.”—Atlanta Journal-Constitution
