The best food dehydrator. I’ll
share why I love my dehydrator to make delicious and healthy meals for the
trail. I'll share why I love my dehydrator!
When I first started camping and then
backpacking and interior canoeing, I never thought that I’d dehydrate
food. It sounded complicated, and a lot
of work.
I would use pre-made packages, I tried the military field rations (yug), ate
Kraft dinner and I even considered
getting those super expensive ‘all done for you, just add water’ meals. But those
cost A LOT of money! It seemed like I had
to sacrifice my wallet or my heath and taste-buds.
Then, someone showed me how easy it was to dehydrate my own meals for camping. After a meal they’d made during the winter or
spring… say of chilli, they put the extra leftover chilli on the dehydrator,
and by the next day, they had a dehydrated meal that could be taken on their
next camping trip.
It’s as easy as throwing your left overs in
your best food dehydrator, and then putting them in a plastic bag, and bringing the food
on trip.
When on the trail, in the morning, soak the dried meal, and by supper, heat and
have a healthy home cooked meal in the bush!
The food you make at home is healthier, tastier, and not full of
chemicals. Plus, it saves you SO much
money!
Compare the price of $7+ dollars for a pre-packaged meal to using your leftover
meals which cost less than a few dollars each.
Beyond making meals, you can also make:
Fruit leather – mix your favourite fruits into your own personal fruit leather
blend.
Meat Jerky – healthy and delicious.
Dried fruits (they taste WAY better than store bought dried fruit) – plus they aren’t full of chemicals and are healthier.
So…
If you want some great backpacking recipes,
check out my e-book. They’re all tried
and true recipes that I take on trip, and have been tested on my campers, and
have come out victorious. It’s all the
best, and favourite recipes!
