<p>However:-</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t without its dodgy moments.</p>
<p>Especially when I went huckleberry picking in the mountain peaks of northern Idaho.</p>
<p>Huckleberries (in case you didn&#8217;t know) only grow in the wild and they&#8217;re tasty as heck so you have to go off the beaten track to find &#8217;em.</p>
<p>And that means bears.</p>
<p>Lots of bears.</p>
<p>You couldn&#8217;t walk more than a couple of meters up there without stepping in bear poop.</p>
<p>Bloody frightening.</p>
<p>My hosts were laughing it off like it was no big thing but they hadn&#8217;t seen what I had.</p>
<p>In the parking lot at the top of the mountain, before we set off into the trails, I&#8217;d seen a guy heading out into the woods with his family to go picking too.</p>
<p>Only he was prepared:-</p>
<p>He strapped a pistol to his belt.</p>
<p>Boo-yah.</p>
<p>He knew &#8211; like me &#8211; that if the grizzly hit the fan he was going to need bulletry backup.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the same online:-</p>
<p>If something goes wrong (like your traffic suddenly stops or you need some money in a hurry) then you&#8217;re gonna want a quick solution. Therefore:-</p>
<p>I was super-pumped when I discovered a totally free way to get traffic from Facebook recently.</p>
<p>Yepper &#8211; no ads or money required.</p>
<p>(And it just takes a few minutes and can send you hundreds of free, targeted visitors every day.)</p>
<p>They call it the &#8220;Ricochet Method&#8221;.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s dead easy.</p>
<p>Anyhoo:-</p>
<p>It&#8217;s being released tomorrow and you need to get your paws on it.</p>
<p>And how did the huckleberry picking go?</p>
<p>Well, we got a bunch of &#8217;em but not without me nearly soiling my pants when I thought I heard a bear growling close by only to be told by my chuckling wife it was her tummy rumbling.)</p>
