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.

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: 5 stars
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: 5 stars
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!

Summary: A little bit for everyone...
Review: This well thought out and researched ("hey friend what'ja eatin over there") book is a must for anyone who likes to eat while backpacking. The diverse recipes are easy to follow and offer ideas that anyone can use, independent of their personal eating habits. From the simple and quick off-the -supermarket-shelf meals to the involved I-like-to-cook meals, this book offers them all. And if your interested in your nutrition, there is a nutritional breakdown for every recipe - a great addition. I can't wait to go backpacking again so I can start eating well.
