When I first started getting involved in backpacking and canoeing adventures I never expected that I would become a wilderness cooking instructor and author.

I remember those first trips and thinking to myself, "there has to be a better way to deal with food in the backcountry". So I set out to learn everything I could about wilderness cooking.

In talking with other outdoor adventure enthusiasts I realized that many had the same question surrounding how to make delicious meals, with ease, on wilderness trips. It was with that in mind and a passion for great ingredients that I started writing this backcountry cookbook.

A Fork in the Trail was released in January 2008 and you can find more information at www.aforkinthetrail.com.

My second book will be released in Spring 2010. While A Fork in the Trail has a wide variety of vegetarian options, Another Fork in the Trail will be comprised entirely of vegetarian and vegan recipes to enhance your trail cooking.

Some of my recipes, along with those submitted by other wilderness cooks, can be found in the recipes section of the site you are currently on and on the trail cookbook's website.
