You have to eat while on the river or out camping. Over the years we have developed a number of meals that fit well with the gear we take on expedition river trips and camping trips in general. Since the majority of the recipes that we present in this book were tested during the time that my children participated in our trips, I can assure you that the menu items are 'kid tested' for edibility. No need to have an excess of peanut butter and jelly along. Kids will eat these meals, or at least, most of the meals.

In addition to the recipes, we have included some of the tips and practices that we have used to organize our camping kitchen. The things that we found helpful to camp cooking are included for your consideration. You can try them or not.
