Many of these recipes for trail food require the use of a food dehydrator in order to extend the life of foods and to lighten your pack.

Recipes that are vegetarian and vegan have been marked as such. Because there are different types of vegetarian diets we attempted to be as specific as possible. Please read the ingredients before starting any recipe to ensure that it reflects your dietary choices. Every effort has been made to be as accurate as possible in marking the trail recipes and hopefully nothing has been overlooked.
