According to Jim Mize, nature doesnt have mercyjust a wicked sense of humor. In this laugh-out-loud collection, Mize explores the oddities of the outdoors with his signature wit. From carnivorous plants and nervous-making insects to birds with unfortunate names, nothing escapes his comic lens.

He tackles timeless angling questions (What is the purpose of carp?), the art of getting found while orienteering, and the science behind making crappie bite at nightwhich apparently involves scalding coffee, a sandwich, and risky thermos balancing.

Mize also delves into deeper mysteries: why women fish better than men, and why anyone would adopt a shoe-chewing puppy.

Illustrated by Cliff Shelby, this book delivers belly laughs and fresh appreciation for outdoor misadventures.
