What we Eat on a Canoe Trip - Dehydrating Food for Backcountry Camping with Kids

I'm not saying people should not be careful but I have been drying food for 25 + years and I have never rinsed my hamburger. I cook 93 % beef alone , in casseroles, spaghetti sauce, chili, seven layer, etc. Never a problem. I try to keep the meals in the freezer but in the last few years have not as we don't have room. I took 3 weeks of dryed meals that had not been stored in a freezer for 1.5 years and all were tasty and I suffered no discomfort. That stated it would be best to keep it in the freezer till your trip starts. I must state I don't go to the BW in the summer. Spring and fall when it is generally cooler. Thanks for this video, I enjoyed it.

Thank u for sharing! I will definitely try to make dehydrated fruit for sure.

Great prep and trip video. Thx

This is such an informative video, thanks for sharing.

Backpacking chef is a great resource for dehydrating. You should check it out later. I’ve used his stuff exclusively for years and am thoroughly pleased.

What lipton soup mix did you use. And did you cook it first. I have a very picker eater and we're going out for 10 days soon. I think that may an option for us. Thank you. And fyi loved the video it defiantly gave me some better ideas than I've had.

What is the ratio of lemon juice, water and honey please?

How long would the beef last dehydrated on trail without spoiling ?

Thank you for sharing your easy and fun recipes, great video! Your bannock also looks fantastic! Would you be willing to share your recipe? Thanks again :)
