Offerman spoke to USA TODAY about his new book and his optimism for, and hope in, humanity: Offerman, 51 , is generous with hilarious anecdotes, including a choice discursion about how both he and his wife ended up kissing Rob Lowe during their careers ('Now that I think about it, given some slight allowances for time and space, you could technically say that RoLo, Megan, and myself had a threesome').īut when he's not being funny, Offerman, who is also a professional woodworker and co-hosts NBC's crafts competition show 'Making It' with Amy Poehler, is quite serious, waxing philosophical about Mother Nature and our relationship with it, and how he thinks we can live better in it. And he visits the sprawling RV parks of the American Southwest, where he camped in an Airstream with his wife Megan Mullally during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. He walks the verdant pastures of an English sheep farm with shepherd James Rebanks.

He takes readers on the hiking trails of Glacier National Park, where he gets into scrapes with two of his best buds, Wilco songwriter Jeff Tweedy and author George Saunders.

The book is an amiable ramble outdoors, with Offerman sharing his assorted experiences in the wild and his musings on nature, land use, labor, agriculture and community.
