If only you could see my inbox, guys.
I get emails with strategies that are mindboggling in both their intricate detail and their inability to ever possibly work. They aren’t necessarily tactical, but here are a couple of ill-conceived plans. And when I say “people” yes that means that more than one person has promoted the following ideas to me.
I have people telling me about their plan to spend an entire winter in a pit they’re going to dig in the forest in Montana. Have you ever tried to dig a hole in the forest? There are these things called roots that will really put a damper on your plans. And Montana. Montana is COLD AS HECK. You’re not going to live there in a pit all winter.
I have people telling me how they plan to go into hibernation. Literal hibernation. Slowing their blood pressure, restricting food and water, etc., so they can just hunker down without much food.
Of course, if I reply and recommend that folks try to keep it a bit more simple, they get mad and unsubscribe.
