Colin says, "If you're getting more trouble than your share, your chook house probably has a hole in it." Find out how to keep your life more secure so you can live wisely and safely. If trouble comes - as it usually does - learn how to recover from it faster.

Here is Colin at his best, narrating the book of the same name with all its back yard wisdom and interviewing three people who were once well bitten by foxes but who recovered to tell their tales.
