Personal Menu Planner
This is designed to aid a new backpacker in creating a tasty menu on the trail.
Foods should require no refrigeration, their weight needs to be minimal, and they should bring big flavor.
This book is more of a guide for the new backpacker, it is not a recipe collection because we all eat different, like different things, and our budgets span a rather large range.
Personal cooking, is, well, personal.
There are things you can eat every day that others may not want once.
But personal cooking in the woods, on a trail for a week, needs to be nutritious, tasty, unique, and easy. It also needs to have minimal cleanup.
So, hike the trail with me to learn the skill – or formula – of personal backcountry cooking, and discover the creativity within yourself to be a five-star trail chef, at least in your own mind.

Book 1 of the Brigit Markz Trilogy Brigit is a pillar of the community, a lead teacher, and an elder. What she knows and understands, she freely passes on to others as she instructs them, is a variety of duties and responsibilities. She was not fully prepared for the wonderment and allure of the collection. The travel and excitement of this new place pulled her in, and the catalyst of it all was her best friend Serena, who died a few days before she departed for her first collection.

A thru-hike is a very long-distance hike. For example, the Appalachian Trail runs from Georgia to Maine to the tune of about 2,100 miles. Starting at one end and walking to the other is called a Thru-Hike. So, doesn’t it make sense to use hikers to perform a planetary survey on a new planet? The hikers can survey, inspect, learn, and report what they find — contracted for one planetary year. They experience something new, something extraordinary. The result is an insight into this new world and the ability to quickly create a viable colony while allowing the planet to flourish. While hiking, some of the contracted hikers develop new skills, and these advanced or enhanced, humans become a part of this new world, and the world has become a part of them. They have a connection to the planet, the creatures. It is not this group who needs to be watched, but it is their children, for they are the future of humanity.

The series ended prematurely, I had a problem with that so I fixed it by writing the next episode that spans many years in the life of the colony. Marriage, birth, death, friends become enemies and enemies become friends.
Seriously, the hardest thing for someone to teach a new Scout when cooking is a stove, or the fire, or on charcoal for that matter is that there are a lot more levels of heat than OFF and MAX. Cooking over low or medium heat is better and safer for the meal in some respects than cooking on a blast furnace. It saves propane too! Plan for the extra time, you will be rewarded when you eat. Don’t get me wrong, there are times that a blazing hot surface is what is needed; the steak to get that perfect seer for example. So pick this up and bring it to your next troop meeting. Let the Scouts look it over and see if there is anything they would like to try out for the first time. You, AND THEY, will be surprised as to how easy and how good some of these recipes really are, especially in the woods!!
