I only care for practical pragmatic reality, outcomes, strength and power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thought is, this is a big practical one\u2026 I really truly do believe that, maybe the thing that we are all lacking is, the right clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, I mean I suppose it still is technically winter, even though it is an early bitcoin spring, I think like 99.9% of the time, people are always complaining about the weather? Even in sunny Los Angeles, which is like in theory\u2026 The best climate known to man, besides maybe ancient Greece?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">All goretex everything.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So something that they only really seem to offer in the military, gratitude to my brother-in-law Khanh, are these really interesting army fatigues,&#8230; goretex pants. I recommend everyone a pair. \ufffc even interesting enough, &#8230; for pretty cheap on Amazon you could also purchase down pants?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then for clothing, certainly something to cover your head, your chest and your body, once again here a good goretex jacket is key. \ufffc assuming it\u2019s raining or snowing or the weather is also poor, also\u2026 Some good Gore-Tex boots, alpaca socks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So once you\u2019re super super cozy, regardless of the weather, then, you can conquer anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because my first thought is, the reason why people on the East Coast get so depressed during the winter time I don\u2019t think it\u2019s necessarily the cold, but rather\u2026 The difficulty of just getting outside your house and walking around and being physically active.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also\u2026 If it\u2019s super fucking cold or you feel uncomfortable whatever\u2026 Just buy all merino wool everything \ufffc&#8230; just buy the cheap stuff on Amazon, honestly at this point guys\u2026 Durability quality and fit doesn\u2019t really matter that much, my big insight is, you pay like 200 to 1000% markup, just for the marketing. And the idea.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">..\ufffc<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hell fucking yeah!
