...when we think of nutrition in its most basic forms—water and calories—we know that our survival, whether in the woods or our living room, depends upon nutrition.

NOLS Backcountry Nutrition:
Eating Beyond the Basics
by Mary Howley Ryan is here!
This book is the culmination of nearly a decade-long relationship with the National Outdoor Leadership School beginning with a nutrition study of NOLS rations during an internship in 1999. The book is a great resource for anyone venturing into the backcountry for a week or more. It is what you read before you begin meal planning to help guide you towards the foods that will enhance your backcountry experience. The main idea is that enough food and water are all you need to survive but the right combination of foods helps you thrive in the backcountry.
