Summary

Demet Guzey offers a fun and interesting read on the social and cultural history, developments, and challenges in food on trails and in the wild. She explores personal accounts, new articles, and anecdotes to highlight how food has accompanied us in mountaineering, in desert travel, on pilgrimage, in the army, and on the street. From tinned foods to foraging in the wold, worm-infested hardtack to palate-dulling army rations, loss of appetite in high altitudes to starvation in trenches, no stone is left unturned in this tour of how we manage food on foot, and how disasters happen when we do not manage it well enough. Readers will delight in both the stories of many of the famous historical explorations and tales of more current journeys.--COVER
