The
Evening Meal
After a long day of hiking, it is great to
settle into camp and have a delicious and filling dinner. Our
goal is a dinner that adds up to 1000 to 1200 calories per
person. There are many ways to achieve this and keep the weight
under ¾ lb per person or 2-1/4 lbs for a dinner that serves three.
The classic approach is a three course meal: soup, main course and
dessert.

The Recipes
We have included a wide range of hearty main
course recipes to plan your menu. The recipes are organized by the
primary protein item in the dish. This is usually meat. The
calories per food item and the weights dehydrated weights are
estimated to the best of our ability based on a wide range of
sources and personal experience. It is highly
recommended that recipes are tried out at home to avoid surprises in
the wilderness. This is a good way to be sure you like the recipe
