I purchased and downloaded the book last winter and certrainly do not regret the money spent. I had a small glitch downloading. Bernd personally e-mailed me - ensuring the book arrived intact. Not only is Bernd's book jam packed full of useful and very practical advise - it is truly a fun read. Bernd does things as cheaply as possible. Already I have saved at least twice the cost of the e-book. Thanks Dave Good Morning,

It was interesting and gave me some pretty good ideas. I generally travel with a butane stove that works fine for my needs, but the cooking ideas, menu items, that sort of thing was very helpful. This was the first of these that I have been able to check out and wanted to let you know that I liked it a lot. It was also good because I could listen to it while doing other stuff!Thanks again!

Shopping for local foods in the grocery stores in Europe is often a highlight of touring for some of us. Also, in the Nordic and Benelux countries, the campgrounds often have well equipped campground kitchens that include clean stoves, pots and pans. Lots of fun listening to the stories.

I had not thought of checking the Asian food stores for dry goods. On the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (GDMBR) in New Mexico there are not very many places to even buy food. There are several stretches of 3-6 days between resupply locations. So, ultralite cooking is essentially a necessity. Even though I love my lightweight alcohol stoves, and my little solar powered wood burning stove, the fire danger in southern New Mexico is already so high this year, that I will be lucky if the Forest Service even allows butane stoves. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the interview with Bernd and Barbie. I will store the information they provided for other types of tours. Darren, Thanks so much!
