A new kind of outdoor cookbook, this all-in-one food guide is filled with trail-tested recipes providing at-home preparation directions, on-the-trail preparation directions (including a special take-along section), nutritional information, the number of servings each recipe will produce, and the weight the ingredients will add to your backpack.

And once you have chosen your favorite recipes, mastered your outdoor cooking skills, and are ready for a hike, consult the back of this book for information on America's National Scenic and Historic Trails.
