I like how everyone shares and they are patient it’s good everyone shared
This was a comprehensive review of the freeze dryer, thank you. Your boys are good eaters so I expect the freeze dryer will pay for itself to feed them on their outdoor adventures.; the meals would be good to take and store at the cabin too. Congratulations on the twins, what a wonderful blessing to your family. We all look forward to being there watching this season of your life. ❤😊
Harvest freight has updated their freeze dryers. You can now get a five tray insert for your medium freeze dryer.
True. Becky over at @AcreHomestead just changed out her four tray insert for the five tray one plus got new trays that have lids too. For preserving her massive garden she really needed it.
Lauren, what a great video, I think you covered absolutely everything anyone would want to know about a Freeze Dryer!
If I had the chance to raise my kids again, I would definitely purchase one, your video is that good!
I too think that the little hike out to the river was a great way to test out the food & any of the questions you have had!
I believe this video will get many views from all different areas on TH-cam...Great Information!!!
👍👍
Broths and vegetables and potato tomatoes that you can grind up and you can use as tomato paste. Also, you can do oatmeal bakes and freeze dry.
I had a medium for 5 years and now an upgraded one for almost a year. Love them
This was all really helpful information and confirmed that we would really benefit from having a Harvest Fresh for our family. Congratulations on your twin girls - excited for you all.
Loved watching everyone eating the food! And Mark is so encouraging! And loved that the boys help. Awesome video Lauren!!
Great tutorial, and what an awesome family!! You're doing a great job, Mama Bear!! I'm sold on the freeze dryer, I'll be making the purchase.
All the while watching you making the food in the bags I was thinking how it will be for you all toting 2 babies also🤗. Life is going to change dramatically…but in such a blessed way🦋
We just found out that one of my cousins is having twin girls. Twins run in my family ❤ also your gonna need all those freeze-dried meals once the babies get here❤
This will be a great help when your to tired later on, or when babies arrive.
Saving yourself time to for you.
I have watched another TH-cam and she does the eggs and makes large batches of homemade refride beans. Keeps in jars and every week use a it. It's neat watching this. Great reviews.
I've been trying to talk my husband into getting one. I've been wanting one for years. It definitely pays for itself.
Good morning Lauren and Mark and family and thank you for sharing your beautiful day 🌞 😊
So fun to go out and try the food you made 😍
All of those meals will come in handy when you’re on bed-rest or very busy with the twins. Everyone will still have dinners. 👍🏼
thank u for reusing that water n flowers still look beautiful. I'll be replanting soon here were still in 100s but hopefully not much longer
Love your family I just wished more folks in this world was like your family it would a better world my family was like your until my mom passed and alot of other family members passed to.god bless you and yours.
I’ve never tried freeze dried foods. This was very interesting. 😊
I like how you weren't pressured to make this video over a couple days.
also I hope you didn't wait 2 weeks to make the seafood froze
Consider using powered raspberry for fish marinade
Nice to see the new studio in use
Thank you Lauren and Family and thank you for sharing very interesting process with your freeze drying I really enjoyed it thank you again and You look totally amazing 🌸🌸🩷🩷
Im about halfway through your video and i love it! So far so good on explaining things and i love you gave a shoutout letting people know you are still doing research and not being afraid of looking into something if you dont know it!
Loved the reviews at the end! Cheese and pasta were my biggest worries. Love how you let us know the weight and measurements! Will definitely recommend this video for anyone else interested. Thank you. I will be looking into getting my own in the near future
What a beautiful view !! ❤
Awesome! Thx a million from sunny Phoenix Arizona USA
Good evening! It really sounds interesting and your family seems to like em. Thanks for sharing. Hafa adai and love from the island of Guam 🌴❤🌴
Thank you for the review. Planning to purchase one with our PFD this year.
Loved watching this!! Love watching your channel! Please add more about pregnancy and documenting your memories since you said it is your last babies and also I to have twins and love to follow other twin pregnancy journeys :D
This video was so amazing thank you for sharing
I love all the tips and tricks you shared. Hopefully next year I can get a freeze dryer. It looks amazing. Thank you for sharing!
I gave my friend a bix or big paper clips n they put one on every bag so when out n about they can add water n roll n clip bag shut. just an idea
stew is great too
Your kids are so adorable 😊 im excited to see the girls 😊 i have 3 boys myself plus a 10 yr old grandson a 5 yr old granddaughter and a 2 month old grandson 😊....i just love the kids so much...such a blessing from God! 😊 Good luck with your twins and praying for a healthy delivery for you....i have twin nieces not identical 😊 Thanks for sharing your life on u tube. I enjoy your vlogs😊 Im from upstate NY 😊 we are starting to get colder weather here 😊
Thanks for sharing never head of this product I personally would not need anything like that. someone living in your area could benefit from that. thanks for sharing.
Wow, that spot by the river was beautiful!
Try chili and stew and soups and spaghetti and meatballs and casseroles.
Great video and instructions…thanks!!
That was a fun food experiment !! I always wondered about those type of meals. I'm happy it worked out after all the time and effort you put into it ❤
Y’all need to make some insulated pouches to fit your Mylar bags, they help to keep the water warmer to aid the reconstituting of food. Check out so of the through hikers of the long trails.
Great idea! I have seen people do those on hiking trips!
My Christmas present this year will be a freeze dryer. I’ve wanted one for years! Loved this video! I love Lisa on farmhouse on Boone! She’s so sweet and clever! You look like you’re glowing! Big hugs and lots of prayers sent to you and your sweet growing family! ❤
It is a great Christmas present! I love that
@@ThisAlaskaLife ❤️
Loved it Lauren
Thank you so very much for this video. I have been on the fence about buying one. I also want to say your area in Alaska is amazingly beautiful
Really enjoyed your video😊
Love love everything you have freeze dried!! You now have your own candy store !! The boys really love to help!! 😀😀😀😀🎀🎀 34:05
The boys are very curious and involved, I love their help!
If you can make freeze-dried and then powdered twigs then you can make twix powdered freeze dried fried marshmallows and Twinkies
Well done. Informative and entertaining.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for all this information. It was fun watching. 😊
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the process.
One lady I saw did her own garlic powder, and onion powder.
Ok it’s official ur super mom , caring for your beautiful family cooking and cleaning and preserving food so beautifully, while carrying twin ur amazing id love to know your secrets ❤ ur really glowing also u look so well , much love from laura and chris x ❤
Very infomative. I will never have a need for one anymore, but I enjoyed seeing the process. I think one thing I would find annoying is the continual noise
It was so funny watching Luna when the video was speeded up.
Hi Friend, l love your longer "movie length" videos, you engage the audience really well. Cant wait to see what you have freeze dried 😊
Beautiful views. Great information and research on the freeze dryer. Thanks for passing it along.
I think freeze drying food is great after I have seen this video. In our younger years we could have gotten a lot of use out of it. We were always camping and fishing we loved the out doors now it's too hot plus we just want comfort. Lol. That's for the education.❤😊😊😊😊
I've watched other channels and they freeze dry onions, carrots and cerley and add to souls and other meals...and they store them in canning jars..gets a lit of veggies in the kiddos
if that a med you can get an upgrad rack to hold 5 trays
you could also pack each one to feed 2 people min. that way sometimes someone needs more n someone wants less.n don't think girls will eat less then boys l9l my girls n my niece ate just as much if not more then the boys l9l n think if Mark n boys out hunting they will be more hungery. I would take mire bags if food then needed it so light uts ez to pack in n pack out . I don't think I'm an eye eatter especially when camping I'm just hungery😂
they have a new insert so you can do 5 pans instead ofb4
Excellent video review!! Beautiful family and thank you so much for sharing!!❤
Good morning Alaska life family from Montana
Thank you
“This water smells like lasagna” made me chuckle 😂
Hi there. ❤❤
Thanks for taking the time of making this video and presenting it to us. You did very well of keeping my attention to this video. Are there more portable machines? This concept is great. If my husband is able to get healthy enough to travel, this would be great for a camper. It would make less trips to the store and save on eating out. Where do you get the special bags? What kind of oil does the pump use? Just a few questions. Thanks again to the Hamm family.😊
Freeze drying is definitely a great way to have nutritious meals when you can’t cook a meal.
Maybe using silicone sheets to line the pans will make removing items easier, referring to the candy/chocolate.
How does running this appliance affect your electric bill?
I live in Alberta Canada ran mine for a month…. Before carbon tax…..cost 10.00 more a month
So very interesting I'm sure this will help when your out hunting and when you go to the cabin. More time for adventure
You are a very capable wife so industrious it’s so wonderful that your whole family participated
Thank you for the great ideas this is fantastic.
I'd be worried about my kidneys and dehydration so drinking litres of water to balance out.
Milk duds and mini Charleston chews are amazing freeze dried
By the time we're watching this you have baby girls in your tummy. And wouldn't be leaning over on that camp stool like that.. bit squishy 😂😂❤❤
We actually filmed that just 2 weeks ago! Still room to grow with the girls!

Thank you for this great video. I know how long and hard work it took to get it to us. ❤️
Did you remember the oxygen absorbers
Really nice video.
great video
Hey Lauren,hope you are well,and the baby's doing good.Tell the boys and Mark I said hello
Thank You so for sharing all this info with us and then have your whole family taste test for us. We have been on the fence about if we really need and how often would we use it. This video really helped us. So Thank You again. Oh, did you know that you can freeze tried Breast Milk (it turns out in power form like formula, but must more health. A family I follow tried it and was so impressed that it really does work,).
I have seen people freeze dry eggs and milk. The taste testers say the taste and texture are far better than the store bought dried milk and eggs, saying the freeze dried tastes FRESH without any grainy texture. Wish I could afford a freeze dryer. I have no freezer, except for the small one in the refrigerator, so I cannot buy bulk or when prices are cheap. Being able to freeze dry and store in buckets or on a shelf would be perfect for me. I wish I could remember where I saw them use the freeze dried milk and eggs to use in making their own mixes (kind of like Bisquik), to be used for pancakes, waffles, cakes, etc. They mixed the ingredients for each recipe in individual mason jars, but also had a "base mixture" that could be used for biscuits, etc, just by altering the added ingredients when time to use. Oh how I wish I could do all that! I would love to do lots of freeze drying when vegetables and fruit are in season and fresh. I just need to win a lottery. Monthly SS check does not go far at all and getting less every day.
anther great video
Watching from Delaware.
I would think that to do chocolate you would have to do the full process where it freezes it, and then it dries it. It may not puff it up, but it would probably be fine.
Chocolate doesn’t do well regardless, there are just a few things that don’t do well in a freeze dryer.
Wondering if homemade baby food would be good ❤❤
Thanks for sharing this!
You will be able to make a lot of baby food for your twins of all kinds. So you don't have to buy it. Especially if you get stuff in season and from your garden.
Great informative video, thanks! Just curious if it’s necessary to reconstitute the potatoes just to re-dehydrate them again in the breakfast skillet?Could you just add them to the dehydrated egg/meat mixture?
I think it is best to cook them. They taste ok if you just add some hot water to them, but they get so much better when you fry them up. I think you would lose that good flavor if you skipped that step.
Great review thank you for this.
Cool! Thanks for sharing!!
zucchini you can make chips out of spice before freeze dry
You can cold soak also.
Thank you for showing all the things with freeze drying! I had so many questions. You covered it all!! By the way you are just glowing ❤!!! One question though… moose are huge animals and very heavy… how does your hubby get the moose he hunted out of the woods??? This may sound like a dumb question… but I know how heavy deer can be and how it’s processed but a deer only can weigh like 250 ish where a moose is 2-3 times that … I can imagine trying to haul one out of the woods so what does Mark do?? 🤔🤔🤔❤️
One quarter at a time on a pack frame. Most moose require 6-8 pack loads of about 80-120lbs.
Great lesson!
I loved the video. But what is the cost of the usage of this machine?
Mind blown! 🤣🤯 keep the wrappers ON the jolly ranchers when cutting! 🤣🤦🏼♀️ I unwrap and they shatter! 😂
We ordered a HR freeze dyer last week. We are so excited. Question … did you get skittle oil after freeze drying them? ( where the oil get all black looking )
I have not had my oil go black at all! They do send you a filter to use if your oil gets dirty, but I haven't had to use it yet.
How long would it take to re-constitute a dinner type meal for hot and edible?❤️🇨🇦
That’s a great idean👍🏼👍🏼
Can you share your chicken/bacon/rice recipe please? Looks so good!
amberskitchencooks.com/bacon-teriyaki-fried-rice/
I don't see the point in buying manufactured factory food and then saving some for later? I hope you get some fresh food into your diets. Thank you for your info, I will use it for my real food.
Try cutting up the Twix then freezing it, don’t put it in candy mode…….. snickers same thing
