I love it when I get an honest review of any of my books and articles, regardless of source.
I've been running a survey the last few days to figure out what you, my readers, think should be the best title for my upcoming training manual for hiking, trekking, and mountaineering. CLICK HERE if you want to offer your opinion. So far the response has been amazing and pointed out so many options I hadn't considered. So a great big thank you to all!
Anyway, I posted a link to the survey on Twitter, and apparently attracted the attention of a young twitter aficionado of #hiking who is known to not fall into any of the following groups:
So apparently if they've read any of the available versions previous to July 2014 it was obtained by a file sharing site. I say this only to point out the validity of their friendly opinion. In that light I have also checked out their profile, which suggests a basement existence of video games, caffeine and sugar.
So apparently I am not adequately fulfilling the needs of this important demographic. I suggest that they begin with "The 100 Calorie Diet Plan" [INFO HERE] as the beginning of their transformation program. After they've achieved some success in goals based on structured nutrition they can progress into the 16 week training plan as expressed in the upcoming book, which is the best available most complete manual for a day by day plan to accomplish your hiking and mountaineering goals [Pre-Order HERE at a special price for a limited time].
I think that an opinion would then carry more weight, based on having actually read an actual copy of the actual book, and even better, having tested the principles in a real time, real world environment. Like my human guinea pigs have already done. Hundreds of downloads and dozens of subscribers.
And not one single one of them has expressed bathroom humor as a response to my book.
In the real world, no amount of Warcraft, COD, Assassin's Creed or whatever will adequately prepare you for the trail. Jolt and Twinkies alone will not get you to the top and back to your car in good time, and in good condition.
