    About this audiobook

    Patrick F. McManus, the “funniest guy in the Outdoor Life and Field Stream gang … offers another bag of whimsy in the Great Outdoors”* with The Grasshopper Trap.

    In this collection of thirty zany stories, spoofing camping, fishing, and other outdoor recreational activities, McManus shares his hilarious wilderness misadventures. From facing an angry bear with an unloaded gun and the folly of running a boat while it’s still
    on the trailer to not questioning the ingredients found in camp cookout cuisine and the best methods of catching grasshoppers, no one knows how to express Mother Nature’s sense of humor like Patrick F. McManus.

    “It’s enough to tickle the most rabid member of the National Rifle Association.”—*Kirkus Reviews
