Seasoned with experience, the Wilderness Ranger Cookbook provides unique and practical campstove cookery for the novice or gourmet chef. The book is filled with "tried and true" backcountry recipes from Forest Service Wilderness Rangers all across America. The idea for this book came from a Forest Service wilderness training session held in Granby, Colorado, in 1988. Sprinkled throughout the cookbook are tips about no-trace camping, historical facts about the wilderness movement, and the complete text of the 1964 Wilderness Act. Also included in the center of the book is a map of the National Wilderness Preservation System and a list of Forest Service wilderness areas found in each state. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book goes to help train seasonal wilderness rangers. On your next trip to the outdoors, bring along this book and enjoy backcountry cooking at its finest!

Forest Rangers recipes,
This review is from: Wilderness Ranger Cookbook (Paperback)
This is a book of recipes that are most useful to ultralight backpackers that cook on a one burner stove. The recipes were contributed by forest rangers that work in diffuicult back country areas that have the "wilderness" designation. This means no vehicles allowed, even for rangers. So all food is packed in, and they live like any other backpacker. Because they spend more time doing this than recreational backapckers, they have learned to be pretty creative with backpack food off the shelf, or making their own. Fun easy to prepare recipes, from some fun and very intelligent people. Also has map showing just where the wilderness areas are in this country.
But, if you are looking for for more traditional camp cooking, even stuff you can make at home instead of backing food, I reccommend the book by the National Museum Of Forest Service History "Camp Cooking: 100 Years". It is sold here at Amazon.

This review is from: Wilderness Ranger Cookbook (Paperback)
The "Wilderness Ranger Cookbook" is one of those books that are small, lightweight and essential for use during camping trips and in response to natural disaster situations. The techniques and recipes are easy and straightforward and make use of limited resources. I really enjoy the illustrations and outdoorsman anecdotes sprinkled throughout the book. Plus, if you ever needed the complete text of the 1964 Wilderness Act - bam, there it is! Truly a beneficial book for any outdoorsman's library.
