Laurie Ann and Bryan

Laurie Ann is an author, designer and photographer. A few of her recipes have been featured in Backpacker Magazine, Ottawa Outdoors, The Calgary Herald, Lipsmackin' Vegetarian Backpackin' and The Joy of Backpacking.

Laurie's own cookbook, A Fork in the Trail, was released by Wilderness Press in January 2008 and she is currently working on her second book. Laurie also donates her time and design skills to several non-profit wilderness preservation and charitable organizations.

"I'm an avid backpacker, canoeist, wilderness cook and the mother of a 7 year old boy, Tobias, who is my toughest critic when it comes to backcountry food. I love to cook and to experiment with recipes, new ingredients and techniques. I also love the challenge of cooking in the wilderness. I've even been known to make baked brie in pastry on a backpacking trip, so one could safely say I am obsessed with backcountry cooking. I prefer to look at it as my passion though.

It is this passion along with my love of teaching others about trail food that brought about the idea to create this site."

Bryan is a service and applications engineer and in his spare time he is a photographer and gear reviewer.

"Some have said that I am as obsessed with backpacking gear as Laurie is with cooking in the backcountry. There could be some truth in that. Perhaps this is why I do so much of the gear testing for Wilderness Cooking and Outdoor Adventure Canada. My technical background is helpful when putting backcountry kitchen gear through the rigors.

It seems that I have also become the official trail food taste tester around this place. It's a tough job but someone has to do it!"

- Bryan    

The March family lives in Brantford, Ontario, Canada near the Grand River and the Trans-Canada Trail.
