I like the layout of this book!
Great book for cooking elevated camp food. The book makes it really easy to prep and gives you steps you can do before you leave for your trip and exactly which tools you'll need to best cook each recipe. Highly recommended!
CookBook worth getting
This cook book has some very good recipes that are very do able. There is a separate section for car camping and backpacking. It explains what you should prep at home to make the final prep at your campsite very simple. It does not skimp on taste. This gives me a nice change from fritos and chili. I even bought a second copy for my niece who also enjoys camping and food.
Excellent + Beautifully organized
Gifted this to an accomplished cook / foodie - BIG success. It is now one of her overall top cookbooks. Recipes are used both at home and for camping. The book is beautiful and inspiring. The organization by type of camping and tips are very helpful. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. And the resulting food is excellent. I highly recommend.
Yummy Foods while camping, so good!
I never thought there was options for meals while backpacking. Yummy options! It is a great book with easy to follow recipes.
Dirty gourmet.
Nice recipes but not many low carb, I think I can use the recipes with my own tweaks to make them low carb.
