I'm not the first to compile backpacking recipes, but like forecountry, the more recipes out there the better.

The stated purpose of this blog is to catalogue my experiments with backpacking recipes and dehydrating, the good and the bad, including general backcountry cooking lessons. I'm going to try and review popular pre-made backpacking meals and if they're awesome, do my best to reverse engineer the recipe. Most of the recipes here will be vegetarian or vegan with macro emphasis on carbs and fat, and will reflect our personal preference for organic/local/unrefined products.

Hopefully this proves an interesting resource. The only downside I've seen to most backpacking recipe books is the lack of photos- surely due to publishing and photography costs, but disappointing nonetheless. By providing a resource with photos and a variety of recipes rated on flavor and ease, this may grow to be a valuable reference for the hiker with good taste (and spare time).
