Anyone dehydrate food for backpacking?
Mainly my little round dehydrator is used for making spaghetti sauce "leather".
->I use 1 cup of Prego or Newman's sauce on a plastic sheet
->After it's dehydrated I peel the leather off the sheet, fold it into a quart freezer bag and freeze it.
->When frozen I crumble the leather into small flakes for much faster rehydration. I store in a fridge but not for more than a month. Easily keeps on the trail for over a week in the summer.
In camp I add dried mushrooms or, in cooler weather, crumbled, lightly salted and partially dehydrated hamburger.
Now I want to begin dehydrating fish and chicken. Anyone have any tips?
