Hey Brian, we found some heavy duty zip lock mylar food grade bags that resemble the bags that come with Mountain House meals. They're pretty cheap and great for freezer bag cooking recipes. They're tough, take the heat and stand up too, just like Mountain House bags. Here's the link to the product page... we got the 1/2 gallon (12"x8"x4") size, which is the very last one at the bottom of the web page. It's just a little bit larger in size to the 2 person Mountain House bag... they work great!

By placing the food into freezer bags and then squeezing or pushing air
out of the bag before engaging the zipper seal, it is possible to keep green
vegetables, cuts of meat, and any number of food items from growing stale or
drying out. The result is that food items that normally could not be kept in
the freezer for more than a few days can now be kept for weeks or months. Thanks.

Well the book was written by Sarah and it's not my place to publish her recipes without her consent. You can go to her website though and see a lot of her recipes there and try them out - that's what I did and then realized I wanted the book :-)

It would be nice to see a couple of recipes posted so that we could try...Then decide if we would like to purchase the book ? Just an idea.

Hey Brian, I've been searching online for good information about backpacking and freezerbag cooking. I found that you have great information that has helped me to make informed decisions and I am grateful for your blog. Keep up the good work :)

Marc, when you say make a meal do you mean warm it up and have it ready to serve on the trail or make it from scratch ready to take hiking with you?

Hey Brian, just found your blog and I really enjoy the material you have here. Thanks for the review on the book and website for freezer bag cooking. So far, I rely on the pre-packaged meals. I've always been interested in trying to make my own, but have always stopped short of trying. The trailcooking website might just get me to give a go. Out of curiosity though, how long does it take to make a meal yourself? I have a young family, so time is limited! I guess I could try to involve the kids, but that doesn't always work so well!
