Nice update to the 5th edition, adding some recipes with home preparation or simpler trail prep. The NOLS-style from scratch recipes are still there. Every recipe has nutritional info--fat, protein, carbs, and so on. Even if you don't plan to cook NOLS style, you should get this book for the chapters on planning and cooking technique. The info on nutrition and ration planning is clear and comprehensive. The cooking techniques include the best discussion of cooking fires that I've seen. I read this before bed and dreamed of making yeast bread on the trail. Maybe tonight I'll dream of Donna Orr's Gado-Gado Spaghetti.
