My first attempt to find a good book on trail cooking was a book that seems to be all over the Internet regarding hiking and backpacking.  This book was Trail Food: Drying and Cooking Food for Backpacking and Paddling. I couldn’t really justify buying it new, and about the time I was going to search for it on Ebay, Kelly and I found it used at a local Gander Mountain for $6.  Needless to say, I was ecstatic and purchased it immediately.

Upon spending an afternoon drinking Earl Grey and reading through this book, I found myself flipping through the pages trying to find a recipe in a backpack quantity.  The book contained very interesting recipes, and even blueprints to make your own homemade dehydrator, closet size!

In my opinion, this book is very good for getting ideas, and especially good if you are into Kayaking or multi-day canoe trips.  Basically, if you are planning a trip that does not concern weight, this book is good for you.  On the lighter side (pun intended) it does give quite a few handy tips and tricks to dehydrating your own fruits, vegetables and meats.

Point in case, if you can find this book on sale, or at a used book market, then pick it up just for the dehydrator information and the recipe ideas.
