Melissa Lynn Lieser tells us all about her company, Backpacker's Bistro, which makes delicious sounding trail meals. She explains the process of making them and most importantly how much healthier they are than other brands on the market. 

2008 winner of the French Culinary Institute's Top Chef award, Melissa combined her passions for backpacking and food when she founded Backpacker's Bistro in 2016 with a simple philosophy: we believe that the most satisfying and healthy meals begin with whole, real foods. We believe in finding quality products from sustainable sources, locally if possible.

Round two with Shannon Cunningham proves to be quite the update. She has greatly expanded her trail meals website (http://www.musthikemusteat.com). Her recipes are amazing. I can say with confidence because I was able to try a couple this past summer.

She has also taken on a huge role with the PCTA through northern Washington's North 350 Blades! She adopted a section of the Pacific Crest Trail just north of Stevens Pass and is going to lead her first trip this summer in the Glacier Peak area.

Kris Harken has an absolute passion for fishing in high alpine lakes. He explains all aspects of fishing while hiking. Poles, bait, rigs, floats, styles, times, and most importantly how to read a lake. We talk about how lakes are stocked and how to find that information out.

Here are some links that we talked about in the show:
