Great writing; prosaical in a way that seems to really highlight the already interesting content. It made me want to explore all the hidden little corners of redneck America, God bless it. Really enjoyed the piece.
I’ve crossed paths with many a “woodchuck”. I typically thought they didn’t care enough to try and better themselves. But now I’m not so sure. Maybe they had figured out all along. Thank you for a thought provoking read and changing my views on the humble “woodchuck”.
The editors here at Backwoods Journal, a print only journal about anarchy and permaculture love Woodchuck Economics and we would like to print it in our fourth issue. Our theme for this issue is “What is Worth Doing?” and your piece fits brilliantly. Please let us know.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful gift of writing with the world.
Thrilled to have found this! I have the $400 mortgage… but the house is in town. Looking forward to your articles for a hint of where to find woodchuck life far from any of ‘civilized society’.
The Woodchuck ethos resonates with me. I’m attempting a version but not nearly as hardcore as Upstate’s. For some reason I fell in love with that place in the 90s. Did a little boots on ground & a lot of R Banks literature. Now I can dig deeper thru hinterlands. I may just end up burrowing up there.
Love this piece and the perspective you bring! The state where I’m from, in the upper peninsula, woodchucks would be called yoopers. We had the bestowing of being an honorary yooper by our native yooper friends when we finally bought a place in said town this past summer.... paying that mortgage off in a mad fever so as to only work as much as we need. Thanks to Paul Kingsnorth for pointing me in your direction!

Thanks brother, more to come and going to keep it consistent and weekly. Hoping it translates to IRL success both in my region and elsewhere.

Looking forward to seeing some solid burrow spots! The woodchuck life sounds like a contently blissful one, right up my alley
Based.
I've been drawn to a life of seasonal woodchuckery, concentrated work followed by concentrated leisure, but this comes with its own problems.

I'm a full blown wook chuck, also known as a New Zealander....
