À propos de cet audio
A humorous and rousing set of literal and figurative sojourns as well as a mission statement about comprehending, protecting, and truly experiencing the outdoors, fueled by three journeys undertaken by actor, humorist, and New York Times best-selling author Nick Offerman
Nick Offerman has always felt a particular affection for the Land of the Free - not just for the people and their purported ideals but to the actual land itself: the bedrock, the topsoil, and everything in between that generates the health of your local watershed. In his new book, Nick takes a humorous, inspiring, and elucidating trip to America's trails, farms, and frontier to examine the people who inhabit the land, what that has meant to them and us, and to the land itself, both historically and currently.
In 2018, Wendell Berry posed a question to Nick, a query that planted the seed of this book, sending Nick on two memorable journeys with pals - a hiking trip to Glacier National Park with his friends Jeff Tweedy and George Saunders, as well as an extended visit to his friend James Rebanks, the author of The Shepherd's Life and English Pastoral. He followed that up with an excursion that could only have come about in 2020 - Nick and his wife, Megan Mullally, bought an Airstream trailer to drive across (several of) the United States. These three quests inspired some “deep-ish" thinking from Nick, about the history and philosophy of our relationship with nature in our national parks, in our farming, and in our backyards; what we mean when we talk about conservation; and the importance of outdoor recreation, all subjects very close to Nick's heart.
With witty, heartwarming stories and a keen insight into the human problems we all confront, this is both a ramble through and celebration of the land we all love.

An Amazon Best of the Month Pick
"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." (Smithsonian Magazine)

Solid points by a solid dude
This steady as she goes book was an enjoyable window into the world view of one of our great talents. The nicest most considerate manly man there is, Nick Offerman! If you’re a good person, and a fan of his, you’ll enjoy the many hours of his smooth voice tell this tale of the great outdoors.

What a listen... a knowledgable and entertaining!
Highly recommend this as an audio book, both to help the world save some paper and secondly to listen to the comforting, yet serious tone Nick is bringing to his opinions.
The book strikes a balance of historical research and summarization, with a glance at the present from the author in a matter of fact way. But Offerman truly brings his comedic brand (which I genuinely believe to be his personality) to the narration and content discussed. it's refreshing to read (or listen) to a long form opinion piece about the present state of America, but also the world at large and the challenges we face. This combined with the anecdotal evidence of Nick's recent experiences provides a truly compelling auditory experience, where you can imagine yourself sitting down over a beverage and hearing the eloquent opinions of a man that all of us could do some learning from.
Again I would highly recommended this audio book and have done so many times already... It will be interesting to see how this ages and the truth roles out over how society has (hopefully come together and) dealt with these issues.

Making poetry out of the world in which we live.
As a meat loving human being whom also enjoys walks outdoors and is attempting to share that love with his children, this book resonates with me in quite a few ways.
Nick’s ability to capture the breadth of nature in words, astonishes and delights me to no end. I could see in my mind those glacier peaks, that crystal water, and those sheep farms across the pond.
This has served to further inspire me, and instilled a new sense of vigour to make sure to be responsible in the ways I choose to enjoy nature, enjoy the world in which I live, and respectfully share with my children.
I will admit I did listen to this mostly in my motor vehicle, so for the trees I saved in audiobook format, it did a whole lot of good when I burned 8 hours of fuel.
I would recommend this listen to anyone really. Even if you disagree with Nicks outlook, that smooth voice delivers each phrase like it’s audible nectar tantalizing your earbuds.

Entertaining but a bit political
I love nick and the fact he narrated it himself was awesome.. I gave 4 stars because of the political content near the end. Was hoping for a bit of an escape from politics and it was mostly what I was looking for, but just a bit too much near the end. So if you don’t like politics just beware of that .. other than that I enjoyed it quite a bit . Great job nick!

Extraordinary!
Really loved this book. I knew nothing about agriculture and how irresponsibly we have been doing things. As a 21 year old I am surprised they are not teaching this in our schools. I wish I knew about all of this earlier truly fascinating stuff. Thank you Nick.

Utterly hilarious!
Mr. Offerman,
I want to thank you for the work you put into creating this book. I live in Canada. We have many national and provincial parks that are protected as well. I would encourage you and Megan, (if you get the opportunity) to experience them as well.
You're humour, witt and honesty made this listen so much fun! Highly recommend this to many friends and family
Cheers,
Dave

For the Offerman fan
If you like his spoken meter, the content of his life, and classic no-BS point of view, this is your book. If you’re looking for a story from a joke cracking clown, then skip this one. Nick is more editorial in this instalment and gives political opinions along with vulnerable family anecdotes.
