Customer Reviews

Great way to start our kayak trip!

I purchased this book prior to our first Family Kayak Camping trip. With 2 kids ages 5 and 6, my hubby and I wanted to make sure we were truly prepared. The book was pertinent and entertaining, and really helped our trip be a huge success. We are now looking toward to longer trips with really good food!

Great book for people tired of mylar bag food

When I first saw this book, I thought "you have to be kidding", but the author has the subject nailed down tight. The book is divided into sections based on the length of your trip and the types of food suitable for the duration. She has a clear understanding of nutritional issues. The techniques for food drying, blending and preparation prior to the trip are invaluable. This book has changed the way I travel on rivers and live out of my boat while doing so. Highly recommended for those interested in the subject.
