The Author
Carolyn Shearlock is the founder of The Boat Galley and an instructor at Cruisers University at the Annapolis Boat Shows. In addition to her articles and podcasts for The Boat Galley, she frequently writes for various boating and cruising magazines. She is the author of The Boat Galley Cookbook.
The food storage methods in Storing Food Without Refrigeration aren’t something Carolyn has tried for only a few days or tested in an air-conditioned home kitchen.
She's refined her techniques over a lifetime of adventures: tent camping for four months without even a cooler (twice!), week-long canoe trips, nine weeks camping in Africa, ten weeks across the western U.S. (had a cooler on that trip!) and close to a hundred shorter trips.
For fourteen years, Carolyn has lived on a sailboat with such a tiny refrigerator that she still had to store most of her family's food outside it.
In short, Carolyn knows what actually works – and all the little tips that make the difference between success and failure.
"Storing Food without Refrigeration came out just in time for our provisioning for a long trip to the Bahamas; I've saved a few hundred bucks already because of it."
The information was good. however, I had done a ton of research before reading this book, and was hoping to get some hidden gems, that I didn't already know about. This is a great starter if you plan to live off grid.

Good book for landlubbers also
Landlubber wannabe boaters like me are learning that all this electronic stuff in our lives won't do us much good if the electricity stops or a few electrons start cheating in all those computerized controls around us. I tend to throw away a lot of lettuce so following your tips about cabbage I bought some cold slaw at the market yesterday and will see what a BCT (bacon, lettuce and cabbage) sandwich tastes like. BTW, camp toast (bread buttered both sides and browned in the griddle) should make it a "killer" sandwich. Ha,Ha.
