"This is a great book for those new to or experienced in camping, backpacking, and hiking.
It starts with a great introduction into what you'll need to be successful including great tips for stocking your pantry and what gear you'll need. The book then dives into a great collection of easy but delicious recipes! They are categorized into breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, salads, and desserts. I'm involved in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts and I've used these recipes to create some terrific, easy to transport meals! This book is a great addition to the collection of anyone that spends time eating in the great outdoors! " Kevin (GA)

"The book is now a well used staple of menu planning for boys in my Boy Scout Troop, the meals are perfect for Scouts, easy to prepare, filling, and most important, minimal cleanup. As the author notes, some users mix the meals in mugs or bowls rather than bags. The wide variety of meals allows the boys to find something for everyone to eat. This cook book needs to be in the library of every scout troop." - Chuck (Houston, TX)

"I bought 'Freezer Bag CookingTM' by Sarah Svien ... and it's changed my life. Well, okay, it hasn't really changed my life, but it has certainly changed the way I cook on the trail. ... When I bought the book I feared it was just a duplicate of what's on the web site, but I've found there isn't that much overlap of information or recipes. Each is a good resource in its own right."

"The Freezer Bag CookingTM cook book ... is one of the best bping cook books I've seen...I've seen a few....its a duh forehead smackin' book, but is awesome resource for freezer bag cooking with a pot cozy."

"I LOVE this book! I bought it a week ago, but have been using the author's website for almost a year. ... My husband and I are active in a large outdoors organization in the area and have recommended the book to quite a few people. Hubby loves eating so well when on a long backcountry trip compared to those poor schmucks eating expensive freeze-dried stuff or power bars!" - "MrsJumper" (Seattle, WA)

"I have purchased three copies of this book because it's one of the most usefull backpacking cookbooks out there. Two of the copies I have sent to backpacking friends as Christmas gifts. They each loved the gifts. I LOVE the concept of this book and use it quite a bit on my backpacking trips. A couple of the items I even eat at home they are so good. Anyone that is tired of paying the sky high prices for Mountain House Freeze Dried foods will be very happy with this book." - StoveStomper (MS Gulf Coast)
