Fuck men’s health. They bought out transworld skateboarding, basically killed the magazine and switched all the subscribers to dumb ass men’s health magazine.

The thesis of this guy's book (that we should do things that are hard/bring us some discomfort) sounds like the book Joe would write if he was an author

Incidentally while half of Texas didn't have any food, water or power and froze to death in the dark, Joe suffered with them by having plenty of food, water, power, heat and his souped up '95 range rover. Herculean discomfort.
