“Today I stopped at a rest area for my break and decided to make the no cook pizza grain bowl.
Seemed like a yummy experiment. OMG!!!! I’ve shared with my whole family.
Your meals are quick and easy, just what I’ve been looking for on those long days.”

“I ride motorcycles and camp with them when possible, so I pack very light.
I tried your Jerky Stroganoff, and with a few minor tweaks made a fantastic dinner.”

“Wow! Chef Corso has totally revitalized and expanded my outdoor cooking game.
I typically just go for the same meals over and over again when getting outdoors but these recipes really opened my eyes to how easy it actually is to cook fresh, gourmet, delicious meals in the outdoors with easy ingredients!”
TAYLOR MOBLEY

“This simple bring-along book has transformed my outdoor experiences! From bike-packing to alpine climbing trips eating has evolved from a chore of choking down dehydrated bags to a pleasurable endeavor of enjoying fresh and creative meals in the backcountry!”
MIKE MOTT

“Unlike a lot of camping cookbooks, you can tell this was written with backpackers in mind. Straightforward recipes that work on any campstove. (That said, the recipes are great and you’ll use them car camping or even at home!)”
PAUL S.
Seattle, Washington
“I just recently started following Chef Corso. And he has inspired me to try real cooking in the wild.
As he stated in another video, dinner is to be shared, and it really hit home with me.
A group of 3 just did a 3 nights 4 day kayak trip. And I did all the cooking. And I can truly say we have never eaten so well.” Thank you for your guidance an inspiration.”
BRENT. S
“I reference the handy little cookbook for packing and prep tips often. Maybe my favorite cookbook I’ve bought in years!”

“As a member of the military, I always find myself miles away from my next good meal.
With Outdoor Eats, I’ve been able to carry easy to make recipes anywhere I go.
A warm bowl of Bacon, Egg, Cheddar Grits is more uplifting than an MRE any day.”
ANDREW MILLER

“I want to mention this website has single handedly changed how I am going backpacking from now on.
You all are awesome!”
BENJAMIN W.

“I have 7 books on backcountry meal prep, 3 on dehydrating.
Chef Corso could have the most knowledge of them all.
I will be watching every video on the channel.”

“Just wanted to give a huge thank you as you have completely transformed the way I eat when camping. Now when I get to camp I can’t wait to start cooking and eating.
Amazing, would’ve been stuck with crap dehydrated meals and instant ramen forever if I hadn’t found you.
Appreciate all you do!!!”

“I’ve been following you for over 3 years and this year I hiked the Appalachian Trail. Your Power Chia Bomb breakfast recipe really powered me through many days. Thank you!”
APPALACHIAN TRAIL HIKER
“I was overwhelmed in planning all of the details for my first backpacking trip. (Trail, supplies, travel, packing, food, etc.) Outdoor Eats made it beyond easy to plan, shop and cook hearty meals during our trip. Everyone loved the diversity of recipes…including a very hard to please vegetarian friend.”
STEPHANIE STONE
Seattle, WA
“As an experienced backpacker, I was hesitant to try this but was honestly getting a little bored with my go-to camp meals. Outdoor Eats has made it really easy and clear. I was extremely happy with the results and everyone in my group loved it!“
PAUL STANLEY
Missouri, USA
“You sir, have changed the way we cook outside, at home and on the road.
I find myself building a recipe list from your videos. Thank you.”
JOHN & MIRIAM
Virginia Beach, VA
“Wow! Really easy to follow shopping list. Really easy to follow prep instructions and wayyyy tastier than a bag of dried food.
I was surprised so much flavor came from so few ingredients”
SUSAN YOO
Seattle, WA
“I’m getting ready for my first backpacking trip in 30 years and I was told by my sister/bro-in-law to go with freeze dried meals, but after finding this channel I’m taking these ideas, and buying them your cookbooks.”

“You’re blowing my mind with every video.
Light years beyond my oatmeal, snacks, and Knorr side I’ve been packing out”
@bposey69
“I have watched a lot of food videos about hiking. This is the first one that really blew my mind. And said, ‘I can learn something from this guy.’
Thank you for opening my horizons of possibilities.”
@robby_outdoors
“My trail buddies always look at my Outdoor Eats meals with envy, or when I cook for the group there’s very little dish cleanup because they’ve been licked clean!!!😂”
@michellesharpe6159
“Thank you, Chef Corso. You have improved my life. I travel for work, and eating out every night gets old. I’ve started traveling with my JetBoil and using your recipes for quite a while now and it’s been great. You are doing a great thing.
You’re approach to camp cooking is a game changer! Completely redefined my meals. I am taking you on my attempt at the Appalachian Trail this year (like in a month and a half)! Wish me luck… Your recipes will definitely be a reason to keep me on the trails!”
