Dehydrating your food at home is one option
Trail Food: Drying and Cooking Food for Backpacking and Paddling
Amazon Price: $8.76 (as of 07/12/2009)
Trail Food tells you how to remove water from food, to make it lighter and longer-lasting, without removing its taste.
"The emphasis of this book is on drying individual ingredients and then rehydrating and combining them at meal time. This allows you to be more flexible in your meals, but takes a little longer at meal time. However, it also tells you how to use your own recipes to prepare a conmplete meal and then dehydrate it. Precooked spaghetti, rice or beans rehydrate and cook faster in the field. The book recommends having both types of meals with you for variety and flexibility. You can also dehydrate canned foods like vegetables or canned chicken, tuna or salmon and use them in your recipes. "
Upgrade this book for $1.00 more, and you can read, search, and annotate every page online.
Camping Food II
Try Foil Dinners: Campground Cooking E-book
Pat Watson and her husband, Francis, live in Holland, Ohio, and love cooking and entertaining their friends and family.Pat's new e-book, "Campground Cooking," is a collection of more than 200 fun, easy recipes designed for RV cooking. Pat says all of the recipes can be made using an RV oven, crock-pot, microwave or electric skillet.
Some of the recipes are Foil Dinners that are for all types of campers since they can be cooked over an open fire, on a grill, or even baked in an oven. Many of her recipes can be adapted for cooking over an open fire, and they are great for busy cooks at home.
Example:
Basic Hamburger Foil Dinner
Per serving:
1 lg. hamburger patty (about 1/2 lb.)
1 small potato, sliced
2 carrots, sliced or sticks
1 onion slice
pat of butter or margarine
salt, pepper, garlic to taste
Tear off a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil; spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place raw hamburg in center of foil and layer the rest of ingredients on top. Put pat of butter on top. Fold as instructed below. Repeat for each dinner. Cook for about 1 hr. or until hamburger is done and vegetables are tender, turning occasionally to prevent burning (not necessary to turn if baked in an oven at 350 degrees).
FOLDING A FOIL DINNER: Fold long edges of foil together and fold down to food. Roll other 2 ends up to food. Gently press top seam down to seal. ALWAYS OPEN COOKED FOIL PACKETS CAREFULLY TO PREVENT STEAM BURNS.
Variations: Use your imagination--add 1/3 - 1/2 can undiluted soup (such as cheddar cheese, golden mushroom, or cream soups), add frozen veggies instead of fresh, or add fresh mushrooms or zucchini.
My book contains a section on "Foil Cooking" with recipes such as "Beef Stew in Foil," "Kraut & Ribs Foil Dinner," and "Ham & Sweet Potato Foil Dinner."
Campground Cooking will be downloaded immediately after purchase and is delivered in Adobe Acrobat PDF format.

Hey Ranger!: True Tales of Humor & Misadventure from America's National Parks
Amazon Price: $11.53 (as of 07/12/2009)
"I don't usually buy humorous books, but this one was given to me as a Christmas present by my wife. When I finally got around to reading it, I almost died laughing and found this book most enjoyable.
Part of the success of of this book is due to the author's "down home" style of storytelling. These stories are not meant to make fun of people, but to show how easily an unprepared park visitor can quickly get into deep trouble.
Hey Ranger! will not only give you a good laugh, but make you a better camper and park visitor in the future. You will also gain some insight into how park rangers and their families live."
