These backpacking breakfast and dinner recipes have been extensively field-tested by me and by hundreds of clients on my guided backpacking trips.

Based on feedback, we’ve tinkered with the ingredient amounts and ratios until they’re just right. Or we throw out a recipe and try something new.

When creating these meals, I tried to make them:

Convenient

Inexpensive, and

Hearty

You will find that at-home preparation is fast and easy, that the ingredients are generally inexpensive and widely available, that common food restrictions (gluten, dairy, vegetarian) can be easily accommodated, that cook-time is minimal, and that the recipes are calorically dense and yummy.
