N=1 T-shirt with Free Giveaway

Posted on October 15, 2014October 15, 2014 by BJJ Caveman

I’ve been looking around for quite a while for a comfortable T-Shirt to wear to celebrate my inner N=1 self experimenter and the spirit of figuring what works best for me as an individual… but wasn’t really able to find anything out there. After a while I decided, why not just try to print one myself! I was really pleased with how this turned out.

Vitamin D: The Natural Way

Posted on April 15, 2014October 10, 2014 by BJJ Caveman

Finally had a chance to make it to the beach to get some Vitamin D the natural way…. Hopefully this will help me get my levels up! I did my best to not wear sunblock in order to maximize sun exposure… however I did keep my cap on the entire time since I have a tendency to burn on my nose.

Always a good time when you can spend a day at the beach to do some leisure reading. Unfortunately I couldn’t go in for a swim because there was a swim advisory… may have had to due with bacterial overgrowth or something since there was a recent rain.… Read More

Cold Thermogenesis in Antarctica

Posted on March 6, 2014October 10, 2014 by BJJ Caveman

One of the traditions for folks traveling to Antarctica is the ‘Polar Plunge’ in which you take a swim in the frigid waters. That’s me on the left taking part in this tradition… and it only counts if you get your head all the way in the water, which I did.

The water was as cold as you imagine it can be… and it took me a good 15 minutes until I could feel my toes again.

I like this picture because it also shows you what a normal person is wearing. … Read More

Imbibing in the Southernmost Bar in the World – The Vernadsky Research Base

Posted on February 26, 2014October 10, 2014 by BJJ Caveman

Enjoyed a shot of vodka with the BJJ Cavewife once we reached the southernmost bar on the planet!

This bar is located in the Vernadsky Research Base, a station that Ukraine purchased form the British for the sum of 1 pound located on the Antarctic peninsula.

While I mentioned previously that I rarely drink alcohol, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to do so in this special place. Apparently the vodka is made on-site… from what I don’t know…. and there are two ways to procure it.… Read More

Kayaking in Antarctica

One of the wonderful things the BJJ Cavewife and I did was go kayaking in Antarctica. We had some amazing experiences out on the ocean… which as you can see was pretty cold.… Read More

What Have I Been Eating?

Posted on February 17, 2014October 9, 2014 by BJJ Caveman

For a few brief moments during my almost 3 week trip to Argentina and Antarctica I had the idea that I could still try to eat paleo/primal AND low carb while experiencing all the culture and different sorts of foods… this turned out to be a somewhat foolish idea which lasted all fo 5 seconds.

While I did manage to get some meals in that fit my ideal criteria, i.e. with the bar-b-que pork you see above, there was just too much good food to eat!… Read More
