A humorous and rousing exploration of the outdoors, this work serves as both a mission statement and a personal journey by actor and author Nick Offerman. Offerman expresses his deep affection for the Land of the Free, focusing on the physical landscape and its role in sustaining local ecosystems. Through three significant journeys, he examines the people connected to the land and the historical and contemporary implications of that relationship. Inspired by a question posed by Wendell Berry in 2018, Offerman embarked on memorable adventures, including a hiking trip to Glacier National Park with friends Jeff Tweedy and George Saunders, and a visit to James Rebanks, author of *The Shepherd's Life*. In 2020, he and his wife, Megan Mullally, purchased an Airstream trailer to travel across parts of the United States. These experiences prompted Offerman to reflect on our connection with nature, conservation, and the importance of outdoor recreation—topics that resonate deeply with him. With witty, heartwarming stories and insightful commentary on universal human challenges, this work celebrates the land we cherish and encourages a deeper appreciation for the natural world.
