NOLS knows backcountry cooking! April 2, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
If you have ever taken a NOLS course out of the Rocky Mountain branch, then you've most likely experienced the privilege of working with Claudia and the wonderful staff at The Gulch, who are extremely wise in the realm of nutrition, and very experienced with helping students. I really learned to eat in style while backpacking - and more importantly, how to supply myself with the proper amount of fuel for physically arduous expeditions.
During my Outdoor Educator Semester, we lived out of the Nols Cookery (National Outdoor Leadership School) - a wonderful book filled with recipes and strategies for bulk ration meals, a staple of the NOLS philosophy and the foundation of the best eating that I've ever done in the wilderness. Having had to return to the harsh reality of life outside of NOLS, I constantly found myself wondering how to adapt the skills I acquired to shorter trips, while maintaining the high quality of the food I cooked.
This book was made exactly for that purpose; imagine my delight! Repackaged in a convenient smaller size, easy to take with you, and filled with wisdom and some of the finer and more simply prepared recipes that NOLS has to offer. For baking, you'll want to acquire the NOLS Cookery (I made some WICKED pizza in the canyons of Southeast Utah, along with some death-by-peanut-butter-brownies,) but for delicious meals like the Gado-Gado spaghetti or cheesy hash browns, this book has you covered.
My recommendation? Get both the Cookery (write some of the recipes down) and this book, and take this one in your pack with your recipe notes. My thanks to Claudia, Joanne, Pat, and the rest of the amazing support staff who made this book and all the expeditions out of the RMB possible!
