This is part of a 3-episode cluster with an overall theme of, HOW TO RUN RIVERS. The specific focus of this episode is about FOOD PACKING FOR THE RIVER. The other two episodes focus on SWIFTWATER RESCUE and HOW TO GET KIDS ON THE RIVER. All of the episodes of this cluster are available right now and it does not matter in which order you listen to this cluster.
While not all river trips are 2-4 weeks in hot desert heat, or deep winter cold, there is a lot to be learned from the food packing crews that provide high grade food, menus, storage and preparation of well over 10,000 river meals a year.
