Trail Cooking

Spend any amount of time in the outdoors and you have probably found that mealtime is full of trade-offs. Do you choose foods that fuel your body or foods that satisfy your taste buds? Do you spend the extra time to prepare a real meal or grab a protein bar on the go?

Freezer Bag Cooking^TM minimizes these trade-offs by changing the concepts of traditional outdoor food. It offers simplicity, convenience and variety, then whirls them together with the philosophies of lightweight outdoor adventuring. The cooking gear needed is minimal, lightweight and can be bought, found or even made. Meals are prepared at home and put into zip top freezer bags. When ready to eat, the meal is prepared in and eaten out of the freezer bag. Mealtime becomes fast, effortless and cleanup is as easy as licking your utensil and sealing the zip top bag. Also, with meals portioned into individual freezer bags, making meals for multi-day trips, families or a group is painless.

So whether you like to be fancy with your food or keep it simple, Freezer Bag Cooking^TM and our one pot recipes can be your ticket to better eating and enjoyment of your outdoor experience.

We are busily working on a new Freezer Bag Cooking^TM book, it is in the final editing stage currently.  We'll keep you posted with updates in our blog. When we go to print on Book 2 we will be notifying our loyal readers through our mailing list. Our readers will get the first chance to get a copy hot off the presses. You can sign up for this below.

Just remember, our writing of books does not preclude us from posting new recipes and information to the web sites & blog. On average, we add a couple new recipes every month to the blog, along with lots of gear reviews. You can keep up-to-date by signing up for the RSS Feed on the blog.
