Wide variety of menu items that will satisfy anyone's taste, and they won't bankrupt you. Easy to find ingredients at your local grocery store.

I've reviewed many books for both my site and Amazon and this one is a real gem. I was a little skeptical at first but the recipes were great. The food tasted delicious when we took it on our trips.
Granted this book requires a dehydrator and a bit of work at home but it is well worth it when you can sink your teeth into a great meal on the 10th day of a wilderness trip.
Linda Fredrick Yaffe is an inspiration in the wildernes kitchen and this is a must have for not only the backpacker's bookshelf but for the canoeist's as well.
A Really Helpful Guide February 19, 2006

It was really helpful for me in pre-preparing easy to transport tasty meals. I have used a few other backpacking cookbooks but found this one the most helpful. I really loved the Sierra Spaghetti and the summer lasgna. I even make them to eat at home. I thought all the meals when rehydrated tasted amazingly fresh. I was really happy with my purchase and use of this book.

This was the first backcountry cookbook I bought. I was looking for recipes that could be mostly assembled at home, would be lightweight to transport, and were easy to cook over a backpacking stove.
On first glance, this book appeared to fit the bill. Most recipes are assembled at home, dehydrated, and then rehydrated as a one-pot meal. However, I tried several recipes this past summer while canoeing and camping in the BWCAW and found the texture and taste of most of the meals to be disappointing. Many of the same ingredients are used over and over in "different" recipes, so many meals taste the same. Also, since the recipes are twice-cooked, the texture is often mushy.
Shortly after purchasing this book, I also bought Lipsmackin' Backpackin'. I ended up using this book for almost all of our camping meals, supplemented by hummus and candied walnuts, and a few other random recipes from Backpack Gourmet. I don't think that the purchase of Backpack Gourmet was offset by the few recipes that we regularly use.
I would recommend buying a different backcountry cookbook if you are intersted in eating something with flavor and texture. If, however, you aren't interested in flavor, but are simply looking for a meal that can be made quickly at camp and has all the calories and nutrients you need, then this is probably the book for you.
