I've found that it helps to make/use bags that are a little bigger than you need, so you have some slack. Whenever I don't allow enough room, even a small amount of pressure on the seal can cause it...

To be honest, I don't really know how long the version with the dehydrated eggs keep. If you follow the above steps where they are pre-cooked, you at least get rid of the inherent bacteria. I usually...
...And, exactly what I do, except my cozy is made from foil covered bubble wrap. Just add water, bring to a boil, and slip it into a cozy for 10 to 20 minutes. Then I just eat out of the pot.
I really like a hot breakfast when backpacking and my favorite is a sort of omelette/scrambled egg dish inspired from two different sources:
The book "Backpack Gourmet" ("BG") by Linda...
Another vote for the Martin's permethrin from Amazon, except I bought it in the 36.8% concentration, one quart for $27 -- basically a lifetime supply. Link here. To get to a 1.5% military grade...
If it were me, I would glue it, using McNett Sil Net or similar
Since I have seen black mold grow in some of the nooks and especially the crannies, I clean mine maybe every week or so, washing with soapy water, rinsing out, letting dry out thoroughly. Maybe every...
I have the newer Nesco with the heating unit sits on the top. At first I was skeptical about the location since, as everyone knows, heat rises. However, the force of the fan greatly outweighs the...
When you dehydrate foods with fat content, even though dehydrated, the fat is still subject to spoiling over time. So it helps preserve these foods particularly. But I routinely put ALL my dehydrated...
I have a Whisperlite and found that if I was cooking oatmeal plus for breakfast (and I do the SLOW oat that take 5'), no stove use at lunch, then stove use for maybe 5' at dinner, I burn about 2.0...
Yes. See Sprint's web page for a coverage map
In my experience, salsa rehydrates closer to the original product better than perhaps any other dehydrated food -- almost indistinguishable from the original (I only wish that were true of more...
I tried this myself recently, using chicken sausage. Turned out a little (ok, a lot) salty, even given the fact that most jerky is expected to be salty. Otherwise I thought is was good and super...
The main reason flaxseed meal is said to go rancid quickly is due to the abundance of healthy--but quick to degrade--omega 3 fatty acids. If they are claiming their product is shelf stable, chances...
I once tried using wax paper for drying -- not sure, it was either spagetti leather or fruit leather (it was a long time ago). HUGE mistake -- the wax paper got soggy and stuck with a vengence. Being...
I tried wax paper once and found that it more or less dissolved, with the remnants sticking to the dried food and nearly impossible to get off. Especially bad with sticky stuff like fruit leather.
I've made soups very similar to what you describe and agree about buzzing up the corn (at least), since corn doesn't rehydrate very well.
The disappointing part of this for me is that, at least in...
Care to share the recipe? Did he cook the chicken first before drying? I've been trying to find a good chicken jerky recipe and am a little paranoid about drying it without cooking first (even though...
I'm also 60 and had a sore left knee that sounds like yours for nearly 9 months. What helped the most (in order) was (1) bicycling -- I was amazed how much this helped; and (2) balanced resistance...
You don't say what area you're interested in, but another site with free maps is http://switchbacks.com/. These are mostly for the Pacific NW, but excellent quality.
Another thing you can do is...
If you're just looking for something cheap and healthy, consider adding a variety of other similar things. Quinoa comes to mind -- it is (I believe) the only grain that is a complete protein, cooks...
Mmmmm, sounds great! Do you pre-cook your turkey or do anything other than dehydrate it to kill any potential nasties?
