The daunting task of preparing meals for a long-distance trek just got easier. Here is a comprehensive guide to planning fast, wholesome, high energy meals with minimal additives and preservatives. The prep work is done at home so these delicious meals can be brought to life on the trail with nothing more than a warm water soak.</p><p>More than a dozen recipes made from freeze-dried or dehydrated ingredients have been trail tested and reviewed by long-distance hikers.

Tips for boosting calories and protein are provided, as well as insights about nutrition, equipment, resupply, and food safety.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>A good food strategy will accomplish two crucially important objectives: it will keep the body fueled and it will provide a moral-boost several times a day. Ms. Aksamit's book is the absolute best way to achieve both of those objectives. Ms. Aksamit has done a real service to the hiking community by writing this book. If you are contemplating a longish hike, I'd consider it essential reading. (Ray Rippel, Author, Planning Your Thru-Hike of the John Muir Trail)</p><p>This book is a complete guide to planning and enjoying your meals when you're in the back-country-when you're a long ways from a kitchen. The information will be valuable for backpackers as well as car-campers, and even for people who simply want to make easy, inexpensive, and delicious meals while traveling, or even at the office. The author has extensive outdoor experience, and you can see that all of the ideas and suggestions in this book have been tried in the field, then modified as needed, and made even better. (WarrenG, Amazon Reader)</p><p>I am the Originator of a dehydrating group in Facebook and after reading Inga's book I gave it a two-thumbs-up with my group. To be honest, I think anyone packing meals can learn from her wisdom. She is big on food safety and nutrition and presents real life information and options for making good food choices for the trail. (Phoenix Rising, Amazon Reader)</p><br>
