Hey Rebel,

Funny how a single seed can shove you down the Exit slide — headfirst.

Proof:

Darrell Riffel planted peppers.

Then he found Basecamp.

He brought peppers and left with something more dangerous:

Knowledge.

Specifically, how to get on the air with a HAM radio.

Then one night, mid-transmission, a stranger crackled through his radio:

“Got something you might want, Darrell”

Coordinates exchanged.

Days later, a bow pressed into his hands like an off-grid benediction.

At Basecamp, Wendy — resident archery savant — didn’t blink.

“First lesson’s free,” she said.

“Second lesson costs peppers.”

Four moves:

Peppers planted.

Basecamp joined.

Radio rigged.

Bow acquired.

This chain reaction has a name now:

The Riffel Effect.

(n.) The improbable domino effect where each microexit spawns another, until you wake up swapping peppers for weapons training.

Considered highly contagious.

No known cure.

Usage:

“Careful with that sourdough starter — I’ve seen The Riffel Effect turn a loaf of bread into a full-blown barter syndicate.”

That’s how it happens:

One quiet hobby, and suddenly you’re sliding headfirst out of The System.

If you’ve been thinking, I should learn a thing or two before it’s too late — consider this your nudge.

Darrell did.

Now let’s keep moving,
