A vastly expanded edition -- almost half again as long as the original -- of an already acknowledged classic on outdoor cooking and eating. The new Well-Fed Backpacker offers a long list of food sources, new material on drying techniques and many more winter meals to provide heat and sustenance on an icy hike. Three new chapters cover: "Gourmet Feasting" -- how to dine really well on the trail without carrying along unnecessary equipment; "Baking up a Storm" -- recipes for such culinary gems as cheddar cheese biscuits and spiced coffee cake; and "Good Eating on a Bootlace" -- pennywise suggestions for portable, tasty, protein-rich meals. There are menus for spring, summer, autumn, and winter outdoor breakfasts, lunches and dinners, for snacks, and for emergency food.

"The best thing to happen to a backpacker's stomach since somebody discovered that brook trout are edible." ~Harry Roberts, Wilderness Camping
