It appears that the author of this book couldn't be bothered to give it even a rudimentary proof read.  For example, the instructions for the first recipe, Tuna Tin Breakfast Eggs, begins with "Take your tuna ton and empty it and clean it..."  Besides the fact that I think it silly to purchase tuna in order to dump it out and use the tin, I'm amazed that "ton" rather than "tin" made it to print.  Savory Potato Cakes and a few other creations require you to fry the food "in a shallow skittle with a little oil."  Poor sentence construction occasionally accompanies the many typos; the recipe for Kedgeree says "flake the fish and allow cooling and putting in a safe place--in a cool box or fridge."  (He carries a fridge in his camping gear?  It surprised me that this and several other recipes required one.)Poor kindle formatting also mars the book.  It lacks a listing with a touch feature for the recipes, and they just run into each other.  If you want a particular recipe you have to tap through the book to find it.  I find this particularly irritating in a cookbook.  A cheesy advertisement  merits a touch feature, however.  Kindle readers can sign up for "new, fresh, and above all, FREE books on Cooking, Food & Wine" to arrive by email every week. I'll pass.
