Trail Cooking

Thanksgiving On The Trail -

Over the years we have gotten many emails asking for meal ideas for late fall trips that fall on or near Thanksgiving weekend. A couple dfferent ways to have a great dinner on the trail in late fall are below, ranging from very simple to more elaborate. You can pick and choose of course, some might only want gravy over mashed potatoes yet the next person wants to be able to serve 3 hikers a gourment multi course dinner - just without dirtying up 4 pots and doing dishes till bed time!

In the October 2007 issue of Backpacker Magazine the recipe of Salmon-studded Spaghetti by Kelly Bastone was printed.  While it sounded great and very tasty, it wasn't very portable for backpacking. It needed 2 pots, along with a longer cook time.
