This is THE BEST video regarding dehydrating meals for camping! So glad to have healthy options to bring into the back country. I also like that you can control the salt content with foods prepared at home. Thank you so much!
PineMartyn I a agree...very nice video. I plan to someday live on a farm and grow many fruits and veggies and dehydrating them would be a great way to store them for the winter. Thanks so much!!
Sorry for so many comments - I love your video! I did not know how to do a simple fruit roll.... I have done blueberries though. You bring a large pot of water to a full boil, then shut off the heat - gently put your blueberries into the pot, don't stir and time this for 1 minute, put into colander and gently run cold water over them. Then proceed with dehydrating. works perfect!
when dehydrating fresh blueberries, toss them in a pot of boiling water for 1 minute. Then in a bowl of ice water (have ice in it) The temp difference will make the skins split and then they dehydrate into blueberry raisins. :D
100% in agreement with comments made, your pleasant and clear presentation along with perfect order is so well done. Thank you, I am a fan of dehydration now, and Instead of buying, I'm going to prepare my own supply. Cheers!
I'm glad we found your videos! We are taking my granddaughter camping this year for the first time, and have been putting together dehydrated meals each time she visits. Have never tried fruit roll-ups before, so she's very excited to try it, and we will also be dehydrating the chili sauce thanks to your videos. A note on legumes for chili - I cook the small chili beans then dehydrate those. We use the dehydrated instead of cooking from the natural dry state each time I make chili.
I agree with others, this is the best video on how-to dehydrate for the trail. Detailed and practical information, and great tips. After looking at the price of dehydrated food, I just bought a dehydrator oven in preparation for my off-road motorcycle trip this summer in Labrador, and my firs attempts where not great. Thanks
I just popped open a mason jar of dehydrated ground beef that I made just after watching this video. So three years ago. It was a cool morning to I heated 1 litre of water on wood stove, dumped one cup of the dehydrated beef in. Then I added a pack of Knorr Vegetable soup mix, and some fresh Kale that has survived a few frosts here (Prince Edward Island) and cooked it for about an hour. It turned out fantastic. Atlantic Superstore has the Knorr's on sale for 88 cents each. So as a back packing quick meal (except the kale, but I have frozen some). This is easy and light. Now I just have to keep an eye on some ground beef sales
I don't know if anyone else has said anything about dehydrating blueberries, but I did a quick search on here and found a video which explains why they're a little tough to dehydrate when fresh. hope i'm not posting old info! but all that was suggested was that you put them in hot water for about a minute to slightly weaken the skin and then puncture the skin of each individual blueberry with a small knife or toothpick. also, I really appreciate the videos, they're incredibly informative!
That was one of the most helpful video's I have seen. You explained everything beautifully. I'm new to the dehydration world and actually didn't even think of dehydrating rice or chili or even hamburger. I did do the fruit leathers but didn't use oil. Even though I was able to peel them off the trays I can tell by the video it's much easier using the oil. Anyhow, I have now subscribed to your channel and will be watching all your videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us newbies.
Love your videos on dehydrating food! My love and I like eating healthy and we like to steam and bake. This will be an excellent addition as an option for eating at home or for our camping trips. Thank you for your videos!
I use the same dehydrator, and get great results. No need for a mega-buck big box. I tend to take long trips, and like treats along the way. Cooked shrimp dehydrate well, rehydrate well, and are a very nice treat indeed.
Great tip with the lentils in chili; I'll try it. I use and love Minute Rice and any cheap potato flakes. I've never made my own fruit leathers, will try that one, too. Great info! Thanks for sharing it.
I really like your dehydrating videos..please do alot moral..I don't have alot if freezer room, could I store them in the cupboard...or in buckets like in the prepper videos
Mind blown, you are awesome. I already have a dehydrator, never occurred to me to premake my camping food. No more nasty hamburger helper with cross your fingers and hope you don't get sick bags of meat for our group trips.
My first time drying hand picked blueberries from fresh/frozen, I had a tray of sliced bananas under them, and the juice created blu-nanas 😂. Very tasty. Many of the berries fell through the screen as they shriveled up, so I need to get more fruit leather trays. Great video.
Great video! When I'm drying fruit leathers I try to get the fruit out of those plastic sheets as soon as possible and place it back onto a lightly oiled regular tray. The more surface area you expose, the shorter the dry time.
This is a great video about dehydrayting, Ihave not tried the fruit leathers yet but now I will. Much better eating your own prepared meals, Thanks for posting, I subscribed to your channel too. Take care, Bluefin
Thank you VERY much for sharing this information. I know you did this quite a while back but, know that it is still proving quite useful. It's clear, concise and well presented. My husband and I are planning to start dehydrating foods to take on our future road trips and camping adventures. I'm so grateful for the range of items you showed especially the meats...this was extremely helpful and especially generous on your part. Best regards
Thank you so much for that lovely comment. We're delighted that you found the video helpful. We have other dehydration videos in the planning. Happy trails! - Martin
Great video! I'll have to try dehydrating berries! Like you said about the blueberries, raspberries also don't dehydrate very well when fresh. After leaving some in the dehydrator for 2 days and not much of a difference, I gave up. Now I'll try from frozen. As I don't usually buy frozen fruit, it hadn't even occurred to me although that's what I do with corn and peas. Thanks for the great ideas!
Thanks for the tip on the frozen blueberries. I used them when I made pemmican and it took several days to dehydrate them even after I popped their skins...Now I know how to make them easier.
I watched the video a while ago, and just reviewed to check consistency of dried chill. Now I am wishing I reviewed BEFORE beginning this process because I do have beans in mine (and am not a fan of the refried beans texture, either). Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge, as this has been most informative. I can't wait to try fruit leather, next.
Good job team! I also had the bad experience with fresh wild blueberries I picked myself. I got them to dehydrate finally, but they take forever to rehydrate. The freezing tip is so simple I don't know why I did not think of that. Ever try chopped fresh strawberries (maybe pre-frozen)in bits (not pureed)? I wonder if they would rehydrate easily on granola just with hot water, or if they would have to be hot soaked and stewed?
Good information. Thank you for this video. Just a tip...I cut sheets of parchment paper to fit my trays. Food won’t fall through it. Seems to work good.
Thanks for recommending that FlashGeiger. We don't have a precise food scale, so we've never done this. We've found that such a degree of precision isn't required, but doing it as you suggest takes any guesswork out, so I would recommend it to anyone who already owns a precise food scale. Cheers, - Martin
I just recently found your videos on dehydrating food. I'm a canoeist too, I live in southern Florida. I am a complete novice to dehydrating food. Don't know where to start. I don't know if I would use one for much more than my canoe/camping trips. I might make fruit snacks for myself on a more regular basis. Nesco or Excalibur. Doesn't make sense to spend 3 and 400 dollars on something I may only use for camping trips. I would appreciate your advice on units and/or books. Thank you!
A superb video. I can hardly wait to try some backpacking recipes using the lessons learned from this video. I'll have some pleasant surprises for my scouts and leaders on our next backpacking trip. Thank you.
Just got you email thanking me for subscribing and I'm glad I did I'm learning alot so thank you.I was wondering, do you us ziplock bags for storeing these items for camping and if so do they last? This is the way I would like to do it. Thanks again
SMac0628: It's terrific you're taking your granddaughter on her first camping trip. I'm always pleased to hear that people are introducing kids (especially girls) to camping and the pleasures of the outdoors. Thanks for the tip about using small chili beans and I hope your granddaughter has a wonderful first camping trip. Cheers, - Martin
I read on a website that the meat texture can be modified by adding breadcrumbs before you dehydrate. I've never tried it, but the bread re-absorbs the moisture when adding liquid back in.
Freezing worked. I just set it so it was really cold but not frozen and the apple sauce peeled off in sections. Not pretty like your Mrs's roll up but it salvaged the roll up and cleaned the tray so I have little wash up to do.
Thank you for a very informative video. I really want to try this and am glad you can do it in the oven since I don't have a dehydrator. I may have access to one though. I am definitely subscribing to hopefully see how you rehydrate your food. As in how much water, what temperature and how long. Maybe you go onto that in other videos. Very well done.
Hi there! I must say that you really have made a very nice vid here. By watching how you prepare these meals is already giving me good ideas. A question for you. Can I season the minced beef before dehydration? And can fishes be dehydrated as well?
This is great! I have dehydrated beef jerky, fruits and veggies, but haven't thought about pasta sauces. I am planning two backcountry trips this year, so your videos with extend our menu greatly and reduce burden on our equines. One question - have you ever tried dehydrating a white pasta sauce or is there too much fat in it?
Another idea for more screens is 'plastic canvas' that is used for crafts/needlpoint projects. A sheet that will fit your dehydrator runs about $1 at a craft store, and you can cut it to fit. I've got ground beef and beef jerkey in my dehydrator right now. ;)
Thanks for this info. Have you tried re-hydrating / cooking in a Thermos / Stanley vacuum jar? The boiling water is poured over the dried food in the jar, then let sit, turning from time to time, for 20-30 mins. The advantage is only having to boil water in camp, reducing the cooking fuel consumption and the number of pots required. Any thoughts?
I do remember those old Environment Canada commercials from the 70's. And you're right, my opening bird song (the white-throated sparrow) is reminiscent of the little bit of flute music as the start of those commercials. Just a coincidence though. You can find those old Hinterland Who's Who spots on UA-cam. Cheers, - Martin
I am watching this video and am learning a lot. one question though, how long are these shelf stable with vacuum packing? I would like to try and dehydrate once or twice a year and keep stuff for about 6 months if possible could you guide me more on storage without a freezer? thank you much
G'Day Fascinating-I just got my dehydrator and I am eager to start prepping camp meals for a few month in the bush. I'm all new so please forgive my ignorance but why would you put your food like the Spaghetti Bog sauce into the freezer after dehydration? I thought that it would be enough to simply vacuum seal them in a food saver bag with Oxygen absorbers and then put them into a storage bucket until you go camping? Am I missing something important here? I'm so excited looking at what you do!
shramj: Glad you've decided to take the plunge. I'm confident it will mean a significant improvement in how well you eat on your camping trips, plus lots of savings. Thank you for leaving those kind comments and rest assured we have more videos forthcoming. Cheers, - Martin
Great video. I never had any trouble dehydrating fresh blueberries because I poke a hole in them with a toothpick before they go in my Nesco. I know it's time consuming but it hasn't failed me yet.
A decade later, and these are still the best videos on the topic on UA-cam.
This is THE BEST video regarding dehydrating meals for camping! So glad to have healthy options to bring into the back country. I also like that you can control the salt content with foods prepared at home. Thank you so much!

The opening to the video brings back the "Hinterland, Who's Who", I remember back in the 70's
Excellent video. I've thought about hydrating my hiking meals. Some great information. Thanks.
I used Freash Blue berries! it worked great! I made fruit leather with pears and applesause it worked great too!
Thank you so much for this video! What an incredible help this is for a beginner-dehydrator.
Pretty cool, I've never used a dehydrator. I think I'll be buying one soon.

WHAT A GREAT VODEO . WELL DONE , TY SO MUCH . HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND !!
Very nice video and of course very helpfull.
I will try some of your recipe not only for camping but for daily snack.

Thanks for posting a very informative video, I just picked my first food dehydrator up and learned a lot from this video! Thanks again!
From the good old U.K I found this video very informative,as i intend getting into dehydrating also Thanks
