About the event
Back to the bush with the best-selling author of Sam The Trap Man, Sam Gibson's best-selling debut, Sam The Trap Man, introduced us to a natural-born storyteller with a deep enthusiasm for the ngahere. Now, Sam takes us back to the bush with another round of cracking yarns and hard-case characters, as well as a guide to edible native plants and trees - perfect for inspiring the next generation of bushmen.
Whether it's tackling naked kiwi with lacrosse sticks, stumbling across giant red stags in Haast or trading venison for crayfish in Fiordland, Sam's the man to inspire not only your next outdoor adventure, but a lifelong love and respect for the ecosystem we're lucky enough to call home.
Sausage sizzle and signed books are available
