* 133 recipes for camping and backpacking
* Stories behind the recipes and the people who contributed them
* Includes tips on outdoor cooking basics, food drying techniques, and trail food lore
Some of the recipes in Beyond Gorp are prized for their camping and backpacking practicality. These include food such as Lead Bread (a brick-like loaf that will keep indefinitely and survive even an air drop). But then there are gourmet offerings (Cashew-Ginger Chicken and Rice and Trail Tiramisu) and ideas on preparing wild foods (Cooked Stinging Nettles).
This cookbook is as much about the people behind the recipes and their adventures -- and misadventures -- in the outdoors. Hear the stories behind the titling of Angry Moose Scrambled Eggs and Poison Ivy Pesto with Shrimp. Learn why outdoor writer Tim Cahill needs Fat Cocoa to guarantee a warm night's sleep; understand the expedition fare philosophy of mountaineer Jim Whittaker; and why Celebration Cous Cous was special for writer-conservationists Laura and Guy Waterman. Each of these recipes has been tested by Mountaineers Books staff and friends.

About the Author
YVONNE PRATER, a resident of Ellensburg, Wash., has been outdooring most of her adult life, hiking and snowshoeing in the Cascades, Rockies and White mountains. And, while out exploring, Yvonne has made a profitable habit of taking photographs and compiling information for the illustrated articles she's had published in Sunset, National Parks and numerous other outdoor magazines. A writer-photographer for the Ellensburg Record for over 22 years, Yvonne also regularly contributes photographs to The Seattle Times and other area newspapers. She is the author of the book Snoqualmie Pass: From Indian Trail to Interstate, a regional history also published by The Mountaineers Books.
RUTH DYAR MENDENHALL happily combined mountaineering, rock climbing, skiing, fishing, backpacking, and outdoor cookery for more than three decades in wild parts of the western United States, Canada, and elsewhere. Her experiences resulted in articles in Summit, Desert, National Parks and other outdoor magazines, and she was editor of the American Alpine Club's News for several years. Ruth's culinary expertise was given wide exposure in her two previous books, Backpack Cookery and Backpack Techniques; she was also the author, with her husband, John, of Introduction to Rock and Mountain Climbing and Beginner's Guide to Rock and Mountain Climbing.

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
