Rating:  Summary: Make sure you have a dehydrator Review: A worthy book; however, a careful reading reveals that many of its recipes require the cook to "dry [various ingredients] in your dehydrator." This should not be a surprise to anyone who hits the trail often, but don't spend money on this book unless you have a dehydrator and are reasonably adept at operating it.

Rating:  Summary: A Food Bible for the Long Distance Hiker Review: Finally someone got it right! These are real recipes by back country hikers. This great book contains a wealth of practical, how-to info for preparing delicious, high energy trail food. Get this book and you won't be eating the same dry cereal for weeks at a time!
Rating:  Summary: Great book! Review: I have been using this book for several months and haven't met a recipe that I didn't like. Sometimes I'll bring a meal to work to have co-workers try it out. Most of the time I have people asking to try some and they don't even know it's been dehydrated and brought back to life!
Rating:  Summary: From bland to BAM! (to borrow from Emeril) Review: If you love the outdoors but tire of a monotonous diet of granola ,ramen and peanut butter, you will be delighted with this book. I have other books but this one is the best. The Connors supply simple recipes with precise explanations on exactly how to use a dehydrator, how to reconstitute and divide the servings. I chanced (without taste testing first) the chicken curry salad and the creamy cilantro tuna salad on a 5 day backpack trip. Wow, were my friends impressed. I look forward to trying other recipes and further enhancing my reputation as a gourmet backcountry cook. Thank you,Tim and Christine!
