  1. I read the article and that prompted me to try your food. I just got back from camping this weekend with my dogs and used your food for every meal. I loved it - as a matter a fact now that I am home I just made the pasta salad - wonderful! A couple of my fellow campers tried it and also liked it!
    I would definitely make this a must in my pack!

  2. I have purchased that book before and I'm excited for the 2011 release. I hope to get more ideas on where to spend backpacking events for the entire family.
