Another great McManus book of short stories. As usual I nearly cracked a rib laughing!

Not funny enough or relatable for me...

Not my favorite McManus, but there are some gems; "Camping Out with Lewis & Clark", "'Uh-Oh!' (And Other Things Guides Shouldn't Say)", and "The Ordinary" were all laugh-out-loud funny. All stories are reprints from columns written for Outdoor Life, so if you keep up with his columns, there won't be anything new. But McManus is always good for understated humor and an easy read.

"Kerplunk!" has a lot of fishing and hunting stories. They were well done and usually amusing enough, but I think I was just not the intended audience for this collection.

Enjoyed Patrick's odd sense of humor and his stories. Funny stories about adventure in the outdoors. Quite entertaining.
