Bike Camp Cookbook Release - Free Download

2016-08-07T14:50:16.000Z

Hello all,

Wanted to share my new book "Bike Camp Cookbook" with you all. It derived from a cross country bicycle tour from New York to California in 2014. I prepared meals outside that were healthy, quick and easy to make. All the meals were prepared from my SnowPeak solo camp stove and the food at markets and gas stations.

Take a look inside! You can download a copy 08/15 - 08/19. I believe my book is the answer to many people who camp and/or bike tour who worry about food and other meals to prepare while out on extended or even short weekend adventure. It's also a book you can adapt to your own style of cooking and perhaps change your perspective overall.

In addition to the food I have 4 stories from the road of my favorite places I've traveled through in the U.S. These locations include Kansas, Colorado, Nevada and Virginia. I'm really psyched on the images because they really take me back to when I was on this trip. I'm pumped for this and hope it can be of help to many of you who are planing a trip or looking at getting creative at the camp site.

Lastly please leave an honest review.

Boycott NOOK!

2013-07-25T15:19:29.000Z

I bought a NOOK Simple Touch E-book reader, manufactured by Barnes & Noble. It arrived today and I wanted to start using it immediately for reading my existing E-books, because reading large text from an LCD back-lit screen is horrible.

But, it turns out that my intention to buy an E-book reader, load it with my E-books and start reading was simply too ambitious - too unrealistic! First it must be connected to the Internet via WiFi in order to access B&N's website to register it. This stage cannot be skipped as the device is basically a paperweight without doing it - totally useless.

I do not have WiFi and don't wish to use it anyway due to the health concerns, even though my living space is already flooded with radio pollution from myriad external sources. This means I cannot use the NOOK for anything I intended it for - reading! This was not clear at all in the product descriptions I read or the reviews. I had to basically threaten legal action before the vendor agreed to refund me for the NOOK, including postage. So it’s going back to the shop and I'm left without.

Is this the case with most E-book readers? Surely not!

I had a live discussion with B&N, a copy of which I've pasted below:

You are now connected with Peter Paul from BN.com

Gary Ward: How can I use the NOOK Simple Touch I just purchased to read my existing E-books without first accessing the Internet via WiFi? I am unable to connect to any WiFi network and do not wish to. WiFi poses a health risk even if it were available to me. None of the videos, reviews or descriptions of the NOOK I reviewed prior to my purchase stated that I would be unable to read my existing E-books without first accessing the Internet via WiFi. So, how can I bypass this part of the setup process and go straight to reading my E-books? Thank you.

Peter Paul: Hello Gary Ward. Thank you for contacting Barnes and Noble Customer Chat Support.

Peter Paul: My name is Peter.

Gary Ward: Hello

Peter Paul: I think our Digital Support Team will be happy to help you with this concern.

Peter Paul: May I please transfer the chat to our Digital Support Team?

Gary Ward: yes please

Peter Paul: Thank you, please be on hold while I transfer the chat to our Digital Support Team.

Gary Ward: okay, thanks

You are now connected with Peter Paul from BN.com

You are now connected with Dominic Joseph from BN.com

Dominic Joseph: Hi, thank you for contacting Barnes and Noble Digital Chat Support. My name is Dominic.

Gary Ward: Hello

Dominic Joseph: If I understand your concern correctly, you would like to know if you can register the NOOK without accessing wireless network?

Gary Ward: No. I am not interested in registration, only reading my existing E-books

Dominic Joseph: Gary, in order to read the eBooks on the NOOK, you will have to register the NOOK, without that, you will not be able to read or access any of the cotent. It is suggested for you to visit the BN store and get the NOOK registered first.

Gary Ward: What is the point? I already have E-books which I would like to read now!

Gary Ward: Nothing was stated in any description I read before buying that I would need to jump through hoops before being able to use the thing!

Dominic Joseph: I am sorry but you can't do that.

Gary Ward: Why? Please explain

Dominic Joseph: Gary, when you purchase a new product, you will have to register that particular product to your registered email address.

Gary Ward: because?

Dominic Joseph: As informed, if the product is registered, then you can use the product without any issue. The NOOK here, needs to be registered to your registered email address. '

Gary Ward: With respect, you are failing to explain why, only repeating what I need to do!

Gary Ward: I bought a bamboo chopping board and it worked fine without registration!

Gary Ward: What is the rationale behind this unexplained policy of yours?

Gary Ward: It's starting to sound like a dishonest ploy to lure in customers.

Dominic Joseph: Gary, this is a eReader.

Dominic Joseph: If I do sound dishonest, I am sorry, but we do inform the same on the terms and conditions of usage.

Gary Ward: So why am I unable to use it to read my existing E-books?

Gary Ward: I am requesting an explanation for this policy

Gary Ward: A way to circumvent it would be preferable.

Gary Ward: Someone made the decision at B&N to implement this policy and I would like to know why. I thnk that is a fair question.

Gary Ward: What isn't fair is that I just bought a somewhat expensive paperweight!

Dominic Joseph: Let me explain you.

Gary Ward: Okay

Dominic Joseph: Registering a NOOK device is mandatory as this is in regards with the safety measures which will keep your data secured on the NOOK and also will be backed up on the BN server.

Gary Ward: You are starting to sound Orwellian!

Gary Ward: With respect, that sounds like utter nonsense.

Gary Ward: I have back-ups for all my E-books on DVD and Hard drive,. I can take care of myself, thank you.

Gary Ward: I don;t need anyone to hold my hand.

Gary Ward: And I certainly do not appreciate being forced into having to hold anyone's hand

Dominic Joseph: I can understand your concern Gary. However, most of the devices do need to be logged into the account in order to use them.

Gary Ward: Then I will look for one that does not require this preposterous measure and return my NOOK to the vendor.

Dominic Joseph: We do manitain our old servers and database and it's for the benefit of customer's who wants their data to be backed up on the server which can be restored later on any other devcices if required.

Gary Ward: It should be an option.

Gary Ward: The fact that the NOOK cannot be used at all without first having accessed the database/network via WiFi is utterly ludicrous, and disgusting.

Gary Ward: And it should have been made unambiguously clear in the marketing material. It was not, and that is dishonest.

Dominic Joseph: We are sorry for the inconvenience caused. All you need is just to create an account for yourself and get your NOOK registered with the same account. As long as you have the ePub books available on the PC from any other source, you can transfer them to NOOK.

Gary Ward: Even if I wanted to I cannot because I do not have access to WiFi, and I am also not inclined to use WiFi due to the health concerns.

Dominic Joseph: I do understand. However, you can get it connected to Wi-Fi only during the initial setup process and can be disconencted later as per your requirements.

Gary Ward: I cannot read any E-books transferred from my computer because the NOOK will not allow me to read them before first having accessed the Internet via WiFi and registering. Therein lies the problem.

Gary Ward: This is no way to start a reading revolution.

Dominic Joseph: Yes. It is mandatory for the NOOK to be connected to Wi-Fi in order to register it with the BN account and this can be helped by our technicians at the store. Once your NOOK is registered, you can turn off the Wi-Fi and use it for reading books which are transferred from the PC.

Gary Ward: Please send me an E-mail once the executive behind such a ludicrous decision is fired and you have released a product designed with sanity as a foundation, not corporate greed and manipulation.

Gary Ward: I bought it mail-order

Gary Ward: E-readers are supposed to make reading easier and more environmentally responsible. Instead they have brought fascism and control into reading.

Dominic Joseph: Well, I will definitely forward your request of manufacturing devices which doesn't need to be registered with the BN account in order to use them to our management.

Gary Ward: Thank you. It is rather obvious, but if you think it will do any good please proceed.

Dominic Joseph: Sure, you're welcome.

Those with/recovering from eating disorders, what are your biggest struggles?

2012-07-24T13:45:14.000Z

I'm thinking of writing an eBook focused on lfrv and recovering from an eating disorder.

I myself have gone through recovery and I know how difficult it is. Raw food saved my life and though I had my own specific struggles, I'd love to hear what anyone else has to say!

To those who have recovered from an eating disorder or still are in that process, what are the main struggles and difficulties you have had with an 80/10/10 raw vegan diet and recovering from an eating disorder?

Fruitarians are the Future - A comprehensive guide for aspiring 8/1/1rv fruitarians, new on 30BAD

2011-01-04T12:39:13.000Z

Years ago when I was making the transition from 100% raw gourmet, I would have absolutely loved this guide, which I guess is exactly why I wrote it.

I have been 100% raw for about 5 years now, and about 3 of those have been as a 8/1/1rv fruitarian. I had to come to realize this liberating and empowering lifestyle the hard way while drowning in a sea of raw fadists and superfood pushers. It was round 2 of alienation after having been rejected by the mainstream for rejecting cooked, then shunned by the mainstream raw community for rejecting their largely perverted fare.

My health plateued and all the nuts, seeds, and salt became too heavy and were an impediment to my blossoming fitness. I intuitively began adding more fruit as I let go of the rich nutty meals. I then set out on an independent investigation into the science and chemistry of it all; an aspect the mainstream raw community tends to ignore. This personal search led me to true experts like Shelton, Frey, Graham, Trader, and Campbell. Once I developed that intellectual confidence to support my intuitive drive, I was set to be an 8/1/1rv fruitarian for life.

As someone who created a raw food prep business and used transitional gourmet means I was often conflicted about my work and my personal practice. There was a very thin line to walk in maintaining that integrity. I even opened a raw food restaurant that tried to cater to a low fat fruit based raw crowd with some relatively simple gourmet options. Of course the side of ther menu that had the potential to pander to the same emotional eating habits of SAD diet began to overshadow, and although I was helping many to find a sustainable transition, my passion and integrity was losing to the financial efficacy of the joint. I decided to preserve my principles and lose the cafe. I went back to school to study Natural Hygiene based nutrition and healing and pursue my Naturopathic degree.

As I began helping more people find success in this diet and lifestyle I began to realize the common obstacles and questions. Logically, I thought it would be very helpful to address those issues and questions in a book/guide format for anyone to be able to access and take advantage of.

This book , Fruitarians are the Future is a full practical guide for the diet of the lifestyle and and it is a reference guide for fruitarian mono-meals. It includes basic information on the background science of food combining and a simple carb based diet, but the bulk of the book is a guide to making a sufficient meal from a list of generally accessible sweet fruits. The fruit guide has a selection, season, and calorie by volume guide for each fruit that outlines how many fruits and how much weight of fruit should be consumed to constitute a meal. Each meal is around 1200 calories. It has been well received by newcomers and fellow 8/1/1rv's as an easy to use and original guide to being a successful 8/1/1rv fruitarian.

As I travel the country on my pedal powered pilgrimage I am so pleased to be able a concrete reference to the people I am presenting this lifestyle to. It is one thing to get someone passionate about something so intuitively accessible but then it is very important to provide a practical and detailed instruction on making it work.

Quote from the book "This Moment on Earth" from J. Kerry

2009-01-12T01:26:02.000Z

I am currently reading this book electronically as it is freely available on Dailylit.com (see http://www.dailylit.com/books/this-moment-on-earth - receiving parts of the book everyday in my email is great!) and I wanted to share this quote from it:"In many ways, the sense of connectedness I learned from growing up in Africa, and from my parents' example, shaped not only how I sought to tend to the environment, but also how I have come to define it. As Bill McDonough and Rachel Carson show us, the modern definition of the "environment," the idea that it is external to ourselves, does not work now, if it ever did, because it is neither accurate nor meaningful. The environment is not just the context in which people exist, or a passive backdrop to our lives; the environment, as the term has value to our survival, is the conditioner of life itself--our skin that is neatly woven into every facet of our lives. The decisions we make throughout the day are all part of this, from the cars we drive, to the food we eat, to the products we use. In other words, the environment is not something outside of ourselves. The environment is our homes, our bodies, and ultimately, our health and the choices we make."
