If you want to explore backcountry cooking in greater detail, here are some references which you might find helpful:  | The Campers Companion, Rick Greenspan & Hal Kahn Food is only part of the focus of this book, which covers many of the basics of camping and backpacking in a self-effacing, humorous style. Greenspan and Kahn avoid the self-righteousness that plagues so many books on backpacking. Instead, they acknowledge that different people will make different choices; then they proceed to inform the reader of the tradeoffs associated with each choice and let him/her decide. A good read. The recipes included are tasty and easy to prepare; we just wish there were even more. |  | High Trail Cookery, Linda Frederick Yaffe The tasty recipes in this book tend to combine the main course accompaniment (pasta, rice, ...) as part of the meal to be dried. This generally means longer dehydrating times, but much simpler preparation in camp, provided you have a container large enough for pre-soaking. Not a bad trade-off, really. |  | Simple Foods for the Pack, Claudia Axcell, Diana Cooke, Vikki Kinmont This book concentrates on vegetarian meals for backpacking. Carnivores may find this a bit limiting, but the book includes some good recipes which help to provide some variety in your meal choices. |  | Making and Using Dried Foods, Phyllis Hobson This book isn't specific to backcountry cooking, but it is a good general resource for drying all sorts of individual ingredients as well as making fruit leathers, jerky, ... The book also includes instructions on building your own (somewhat cumbersome) dehydrator. Note: This book does not include recipes for meals; it is intended more as a manual on drying ingredients. |
