Straight Flossin' is a wild ride into the inspiring and intimidating vastness of the desert West. Whether he's trapping packrats as a field biologist or racing to escape a devastating wildfire, Danny Nielsen's stories are lively, thoughtful, and engaging. His love for these arid wilds comes through on every page, as does his concern for how human transformation of the landscape is putting the wild magic at risk. As a fellow desert rat, I loved riding shotgun on this book's well-told adventures in America's immense outback. --Michael P. Branch, author of How to Cuss in Western and On the Trail of the Jackalope
