Patrick F. McManus,



outdoor humor writer has died. He wrote the back page column Last Laugh for Outdoor Life for decades. It was the very first thing I read every issue. His brand of humor was like no one else's. Extremely self-deprecating humor, focusing on the ineptitude of the human animal in the great outdoors.

9. “Poking at a campfire with a stick is one of life’s
 great satisfactions.”

12. “It is best not to use a sleeping bag on your first attempt to sleep outside alone in the dark. Sleeping bags are not 
made for running.”

13. “In my own defense, I have nothing against standards. Years ago I'd even possessed one myself. It was not a high standard by any means, but rather a low one, so low in fact I was forever tripping over the blasted thing. So I got rid of it.”

16. “Tell her that a gun collection is like wilderness. 
Even though we don’t use all of it all the time, we need to 
know that it’s there.”
