    About this audiobook

    Best-selling outdoor humorist McManus (The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw) bags another in this collection of yarns featuring irascible woodsman Rancid Crabtree, "Phantom of the Woods" Retch Sweeney, boyhood pal Crazy Eddie, and others of McManus's acquaintance. Also meet hunting dog Strange, dog delinquent, whose prey of choice is year-old roadkill. Readers of McManus's humor column in Outdoor Life will enjoy his observations on the joys of pig-back riding, workshop puttering, and Sasquatch ducking. So will those who, like McManus's wife Bun, appreciate nature most from the window of a seven-story luxury hotel.

      I always enjoy the far-fetched humor of these stories. They are told in the tradition of the tall tale grandpa used to tell to pull your leg. All about boyhood, nature and bad smells, they are full of reminiscence, even for a girl like me.

      I have been aquainted with the writing of Patrick McManus for many years, and have always enjoyed it. I picked up a copy of this book the other day, and couldn't put it down. The humor hits so close to home, from home repair (Pouring My Own) and time management (Controlling My Life) to McManus' specialty, outdoor living (Camping In). I recommend this and all of McManus' other works. I have never been disappointed.
    • 5/5
      Hilarious!
