March, an avid backpacker and editor of an outdoors e-zine, shares 200 lightweight, taste-tested recipes inspired by foods from around the world, for wilderness gourmets, car campers, and even canines. The recipes range from easy to elaborate, and most involve dehydration and pre-trip preparation at home. The authors gives tips on packing, cooking equipment and cooking methods, food storage, dehydration and rehydration, menu planning, and choosing commercially dried foods. The truly adventurous can try cooking a turkey in an oven made from a cardboard box covered with aluminum foil. Color photos prove it can be done.
