    Kayak Bill - Foraging

I have never tried the fat though but I have heard it's an acquired taste, my wife's grandfather (who was Kwagiuith) used to jar it in chunks the old people really liked it but not...

    MY TWO WEEK MENU

    A few years ago I would have found it very helpful to see what other kayakers where packing for 2 week solo trips. I hope this is helpful to some even if it’s just to use one or two recipes. All of my food is packed into 2 large dry bags, one bag has all my non nonperishables meals packed...
