Backcountry adventure and cuisine for aspiring hiker trash
Beef Tagine
A simple yet awesome dinner for the backcountry. It was the 3rd day in the Winds for Mule and yours truly, and we got our butts KICKED. We may not be 20+mile/day hikers (especially me) but we’re two pretty tough hombres. I mean, we…

Kung Pao Spaghetti
It’s personal style, but the one thing I want to look forward to after an arduous day on the trail is some good eats. My Kung Pao Spaghetti recipe is an adaptation from the California Pizza Kitchen classic. It’ll feed 2 hikers with regular…
