There are sufficient options in the cookbook to keep wilderness campers and their soft adventure counterparts interested. Recipes for high calorie and nutritious snacks for hikers on the move: granola squares, fruit 'n' fiber cookies and cereal bars that can be made at home are easy to prepare. The authors also offer useful tips for menu planning, foraging for ingredients and cold weather nutrition.-- (04/01/2013) It is easy to read and understand. The recipes are practical in the backwoods... [It] includes quality advice on cooking gear and essentials that are truly camper tested. Lots of pictures... The recipes tell you what preparation can be done at home... I love this book. Buying it is risk free... if you don't like it for some strange and unexplainable reason... it also makes great fire starter.-- (07/16/2013)
