View Full Version : Dehydrating your own food for hiking
Just wondering if anybody does their own dehydrating foods for backpacking? I'm checking out a website http://www.backpackingchef.com/ has anybody used this site to dehydrate? Comments are welcome
Yes, I have used many of his recipes, most are quite good. His method for dehydrating ground beef and ham is VERY excellent. The ground beef it produces stores very well, and it re-hydrates better than Mountain House or similar. Also his "bark" works quite well. I make tomato sauce bark for spaghetti. His refried bean methods work very well also.
I bought his book, and feel it is quite worth it.

There's been much discussion here and on the net.
Check the Hungry Hammock Hanger. I'm taking his Beef Chili Mac out next weekend, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRMVz2sGiT0 . Every recipe of his that I've tried is good. I got envious looks for the Beef Stroganoff and had to share it for tastes.
Demeter has good recipes, dehydrated yourself or rehydrate ingredients, http://demeters-dish.blogspot.com/p/about-demeters-dish.html .

Yes, totally agree. Chef Glenn gives excellent, step-by-step instructions for dehydrating most anything. The sites that RangerZ recommends are also very useful.
Thnx everybody keep the comments coming.

Here's a great site with tons of recipes. I haven't tried any but will be trying some soon:

I find that I can dehydrate pretty much any meal I like at home, as long as I cut up any largish pieces of vegs or other items into smaller pieces before I dehydrate. Smaller pieces rehydrate faster and more completely than big pieces. For example, for spaghetti with meatballs, I cut the meatballs into mini meatballs before dehydrating it.
