Who's Up for PrimalCamp?

It’s been said before  and it will be said again.  There is no doubt that all of us enjoy our social media playtime with other Primal/Paleo folks.  Let’s face it, we’ve got some pretty entertaining as well as inspiring folks out there.  So, when Mark Sisson first conceived of PrimalCon, an opportunity for Primals to come together in physical form and learn from the Jedi Master himself, there was a collective cheer.  Unfortunately, and not Mark’s fault at all, the price tag and location were not conducive to many.  Mark and his Worker Bees worked hard to put together their PrimalCon as a test to gauge interest and I have no doubt it was a success for those that went.

An Alternative Approach

For those of us unable to travel as far as California, there must be an alternative approach.  At one point I had even entertained a primal get together but feared the critical mass we could attract in order to pull it off.  So there was last weekend when @rogerderok, @tcita and @yelhsalombard were having a Twitter discussion about a concept they named “#PrimalCamp.”  If you want anymore details than that, then you can make them up because that is about as far as things have gotten.  We have a name.    To find out any more, you can also do a search for the hashtag #primalcamp to see any other ideas that have been talked about.

What that means my fellow Primalites is that it is time for you to consider such an event.  PrimalCamp would not work to substitute PrimalCon but would be an additional opportunity.  Just ask yourself this question:  If a PrimalCamp were held in your area, or close to it, would you at least consider attending?  If your answer is yes, then you have passed the first stage of this journey.  Now, you need to tell me who you are and where you live!

Are You on the Map Yet?

This updated map shows where we stand today and I believe it updates itself each time a name/location is added.  This is OUR event.  In time I’m sure a few leaders will emerge, but your ideas, talents, skills and contributions will make this a reality.  Please use the comments section to add who you are, where you live and any ideas you have.  I’ll swiftly add you to the map and we can have ongoing conversations about what we can do, how we would stage it, etc. The map will show us all where majority groups live so that we could look at a future location or future locations.  Regardless, it helps us start moving this big rock.

I’m going to go out on a limb and will simply start the conversation with some objectives of PrimalCamp and you take it from there if you are interested in being a part.

Objectives:

• To meet and enrich face to face relationships with others interested in the Paleo/Primal lifestyle
• To engage in some sort of educational opportunity in the form of a campfire chat/discussion/classroom setting
• To eat and drink together
• To save money

Based on these simple objectives, PrimalCamp could be as simple as a camp out near a recreation area that allows us to camp, eat, drink, and work out together.  Perhaps it is a canoe or ski trip we call take together.  Cost efficient ideas abound, so what are yours?  I’m sure many want details, but guess what?!  You get to help create those ideas.

The possibilities are many.  But it starts by “registering” as a potential candidate for PrimalCamp.  There is NO cost or any commitment, just a gesture that you are interested.

Caveman Resurrection is Now Available!

It's been a while in the making, but I'm proud to say my latest e-book, Caveman Resurrection, is finally done! Recent DNA studies prove that there is a little caveman in all of us.  For some, it just takes a little more encouraging. Caveman Resurrection, my latest e-book, is a discussion of strategies and principles to make your Primal/Paleo efforts a success.  The book discusses how you can overcome psychological barriers; what to expect as you transition to a healthier lifestyle, and how to incorporate a caveman lifestyle beyond just diet and exercise.  One chapter's contents will more than pay for the cost of this book.  Caveman Resurrection seeks to simplify and minimize your life. Buy your copy today!  Caveman Resurrection is only $10 and satisfaction is guaranteed.  If this book is not what you thought it would be and does not provide solid advice for a healthier lifestyle, we will refund your money, no questions asked.

PrimalChat's Latest Test Feature - Chat

After last week's #PrimalChat on Twitter (every Wednesday at 8 PM CST), there was a request for a chat function to be added to this site.  It seemed like such a simple request and one overlooked.  I mean, sheesh, if a site is called PrimalChat...shouldn't they have a Chat feature?! Until the bucks start rolling in (Ha!) we've answered the request, at least temporarily, and are testing a chat function through Meebo.  You can join the chat at any time either with or without a Meebo account. So, tonight's #PrimalChat will be reverting over to our chat page, technical difficulties notwithstanding. The downside of this is that others on Twitter can't see our discussions.  With that said, those on Twitter won't be unfollowing you because you are #Primalchatting so much.  Hey, you win some, you lose some, right? Make plans and pass the word about this feature and for tonight in particular.  We're going to kick the tires and see how it goes. What's life without a little risk? Tonight's topics will include a request from @KettlebellWitch about eating after workouts or endurance events.  Feel free to join us for that and other impromptu topics as always!  Hope to see you there!

Let's Chat!

Injuries

New Things To Come

I am interested in starting up a weekly piece on injuries to get some use out of my educational background, and how to incorporate rehabilitation into your primal lifestyle. I would love for some people to voluntarily email me some injuries they have encountered through sport, running, or through anything. I would also love any questions or concerns, or anything you might be wondering about the injury world and rehabilitation to be emailed as well! I am open to all suggestions, and would love for some comments from the vast list of readers of PrimalChat!

How Can I Reach You?

If you are interested, please send me an email at PrimalChatTaryn [at] gmail [dot] com. I am looking to start this piece this week, so feel free to whip up an email starting tonight! Can't wait to hear from you guys!
