New Book: Backcountry Eats
Kevin Ride (Who you might know from his YouTube channel Kevin Outdoors) has published a new book called Backcountry Eats which helps you made dehydrated meals for your next trip out.
Are you a seasoned backcountry hiker seeking to lighten your pack? Or, are you a canoe tripper looking to bring variety and savings to your meals? Do you have dietary needs that ready-made meals cannot accommodate? Are you a front country car camper or overnight hiker looking to get deeper into the backcountry? Backcountry Eats is a valuable tool on how to take your trips a step further and explore the backcountry on multi-day adventures.
In Backcountry Eats, Kevin Ride demystifies food dehydration techniques and outlines everything you need to know to make your own dehydrated meals for backcountry travel.
Backcountry Eats includes a recipe section with over 100 dehydrated recipes featuring simple one pot meals that rehydrate by adding water, but also rounds-out your repertoire with other recipes such as fruit leather, jerky, granola bars, baked items such as bannock, and a variety of hot drinks. You will also learn how to…
select a dehydrator,
dehydrate food of various types (fruit, vegetables, meats, seafood, grains, pasta) safely.
meal plan and ration plan,
portion and package your meals,
select a stove and fuel,
bake in the backcountry, and
protect your food from wildlife.
“Finally, my book ‘Backcountry Eats’ is now available for online ordering from the publisher! Over the next 1-5 weeks it will also become available from other online retailers and hopefully it will be picked up in brick-and-mortar stores. I don’t even have a copy yet. The publisher uses ‘print on demand’ technology so when you order a book, that order goes into a que and an individual book gets printed. That is great because I don’t have to guess at how many books will sell but it means there is a bit of a delay when you order. I will be making a video shortly which provides more detail on the book.”
The book comes in an eBook version (Apple Books & Google Play), paperback and hardcover.
