I find processed foods and unappealing at home and on the trail. I started dehydrating meals that I cook at home and now carry 3 ounce meals that are fantastic and quick to heat up by simply adding to boiling water. Lentils/Carrots/onions/tomatoes, red beans and rice, Corn soup/ wild rice/onions/mushrooms, Mushroom and spinach soup and this so much easier on my budget.

jujuhiker I'm with you on the processed crud. There are two great books out there which teach you to dehydrate and rehydrate tasty meals for hiking. They are A Fork in the Trail and Another Fork in the Trail. Backpack Gourmet is another excellent resource.

Campfire culinary skills

If you think spending a week in the wilderness means subsisting on days-old gorp, flavorless noodles and whatever you can catch or forage, you're in for a scrumptious surprise. With a little bit of preparation you can eat quick, easy gourmet meals on the trail — and be the envy of all your trailmates. All of the recipes we've gathered can be made in just a freezer bag or one pot and cooked over a campfire or simple camp stove. After all, the last thing you need when backpacking is a pile of dirty pots and pans! So lace up those hiking boots, grab your titanium spork, and read on for some truly divine campfire cuisine.
