NOLS expert Mary Howley Ryan explains the nutrients you need in the backcountry, why you need them, how much you need, and where to find them in wilderness foods. Included is info on how to adjust for special environments or special diets and how to deal with illnesses. For recipes and more specific help with menu planning, NOLS Cookery is an excellent companion to this field guide.
