while I totally support the concepts of small farming and work ethic , etc. , it was hard to get past the rich guy using enormous trailer and gas guzzling truck while preaching aspect of the whole thing. Granted, he acknowledges it, and there were some funny bits

Honestly, I wasn't aware of Offerman's various public personae of actor, comedian, writer, and boatbuilder. Had I been, I might have enjoyed this book even more. The first section, relating his sojourn in Glacier National Park with two also-famous and creative friends, was particularly enjoyable. It being the 2020's, politics and political culture definitely find their way into the content. This may put some people off. But IMO, to ignore it would have rendered the book pale and lifeless, like a mannequin that is sort of like a living thing but really isn't.
[Audiobook note: Offerman reads the book himself, which is a delight.]

I am so enamored of Offerman's writing style. And hearing him read the book just elevates to the next level.

Offerman shares my fondness for the great outdoors, particularly "pristine wilderness in close proximity to relatively comfy hotel beds," as well as Wilco/Jeff Tweedy, George Saunders, National Parks, hiking, Wendell Berry, and traveling. This rambling collection of essays is divided into three parts (or journeys) that sees Nick attempting to engage with the great outdoors in different scenarios. Mr. Offerman is cleanly aware of his privilege and his ability as a wealthy individual to be able to travel to enjoy nature. He is keenly aware of the irony of traveling via plane, or RV, to observe and commune with nature. I found this essays to be a bit rambling for my taste but still entertaining. I'm not sure if a clear thesis is really arrived other than we should find ways to preserve and care for nature and for each other. It's a simple message. But it works. Nick doesn't pretend to have the answers, and I appreciate that about him.… (meer)
