Solotripper -- thanks for the good info.  I am interested in trying to eat healthier on my canoe trips (and at home!).  My wife and son-in-law (an IronMan competitor), are zealots, and are pushing me hard that way.  My natural instinct is to resist when pushed, but if I can make easy changes to my food on trips that improve my health and give me the right kind of nutrition, I would be foolish not to. 

My question: do you know of a book written specifically on the topic of healthy eating on camping trips, (with recipes) that contains at least some recipes that might relate to wilderness canoeing? (ie, food and recipes that consider weight).  If so, I'd value your recommendation, and I'd be interested in getting such a book.  If not, you should consider writing one (or a magazine article).
