About the Author:

Doug is in perpetual motion and a self-proclaimed adventure junkie, that has had a longtime love affair with the great outdoors.

“I love being a part of the active world. The stuff that blows my hair back is adventure (all shapes and sizes), photography, mountaineering, Muay Thai, and seeing natural beauty in all its forms. The living earth is the framework on which I build my life and free time. My ideal trip would be BASE jumping at Sotano de Las Golandrinas in Mexico (closest I could come to skydiving through the jungle!). I work towards keeping it real, green, and healthy. ”

Doug is the co-founder of LiveOAK, although he says he didn’t know what a blog was until a couple months after he started.

    One more small step towards saving a devastated environment. Thank You. Every time we save to cost of manufacturing something by reusing it we are one step closer to removing the slavery imposed on us by high oil prices. Every time we reuse paper we save a tree. Please promote the right to grow hemp (not the dope type silly!) for paper fiber. Hemp produces more fiber per acre in one year than a forest does in 20 years. Hemp also produces edible seeds and oils, none toxic bio-diesel and grows on marginal land. Northern Manitoba and other parts of Canada are well suited for hemp production, but not much else. Please help us grow a fair, tariff-free,legal and politically correct crop. Our communities need this new source of income!
