"Give your dogs a treat to get yourself 3 minutes of time to concentrate..." I know this feeling all to well, lol. Awesome video, I have been considering getting a dehydrator for awhile now and I am getting close to pulling the trigger. Are you still dehydrating your own meals and if so using the same dehydrator?
Dehydrated chilli is a main stay for canoe trippers! I like the idea with the brown rice added to it. We often just put the chilli on top of rice, cool! Thanks for sharing your grandmother's recipe!
Ugly bowl not provided for the dehydration. LOL. Dogs on standby for any dropped chilli. Man, that looked good. Love the straw method for taking the air out. Loved the video, full 👍 from me.
You are in luck, sir! My next video is a step by step follow up. Boiling Water for Dummies. With FULL step by step instructions! I kind of figured I'd have lost you at this step but carried on for the rest of the folks.
Dude... this was awesome! Careful huffing that dehydrated chili dust it can be dangerous Haha! Your humor is great I really enjoy it! We need more videos like this when your not on adventures! Definitely going to be getting a dehydrator after seeing how useful It can be 👍 that guy you were watching on tv looked familiar LOL appreciate the shout out! Keep it up brother, your channel is going to get big fast!
How did you know I inhaled chili dust!? Haha whether or not my channel grows it doesn't matter. Just having fun connecting with the outdoors TH-cam community with guys like yourself. Your channel is where it's at! You are REAL and thats what I hope to be! Thanks for the share.
Fun video, cute dogs and sweet partner, and very informative. Thank you so much. I'll be making my chili this week as I prepare for a ten day hike in the San Juan Mountains. I'm not sure if that is a doable location for you, but if you ever have an opportunity to hike in Colorado, check out the area along the Dolores River and Priest Gulch. Happy hiking and be safe!
10 day hike in the mountains, that's awesome!! I will look it up this morning. I'd love to make it out West and Colorado is high on the list of places to see. Enjoy your trip and be safe!
@@BackcountryPaddler Thank you so much!! I'm getting my tent ready and doing a supply check-list. It's always exciting to leave this fast pace life behind for a little while. San Juan Mountains are over a million acres with many trails from moderate, to kick you butt challenging. Be safe out there in these strange times and prep food and supplies. My husband and I are farmers in Nebraska and the future looks to be a bit bleak. Take care and be safe and enjoy the beautiful outdoors.
Love it! Makes me want to make it, eat it, and dehydrate it! I like the addition of rice. Great explanation and humor. How much water do you use to rehydrate (ratio)? Does it need to be boiling?
Honestly, when I rehydrate chili I just eyeball the amount of water and boil it first before adding the chili. I then let it sit 20 minutes or so, and drain any excess water if there is any.
Hope to have my Oswegatchie trip posted soon. Have you been there? So far my favorite trip of the year has been the one to the St. Regis Canoe Area. Your videos brought me there!!
Thanks for this video, very helpful. Definitely helped us for our last trip, I did chili and spaghetti sauce. Kept us fed for days and easy to prepare.
I really like this Presto one and at only $40 it ends up saving you in the long term vs. buying Mountain House meals etc. I use it to dehydrate everything and eat the meals at home too. Very convenient!
Super video man! After camping out a few nights with a bear canister this summer I am making adjustments and this is going to be one of them! Those Mt House meals and their associated packages are just a no-go anymore! The pouches are too big and the corners poke holes in the canister liner bags :-(. I had thought about breaking down the packages into zip lock bags and then I said ..... Im just going to make my own meals and put them in zip zocks instead. I also bought the new 28oz hydroflask insulated food container even though it weighs a pound. This will give me the perfect re-constituting bowl! I no longer need my pouch koozie and it will give me another storage vessel AND I will get rid of all the bulky meal pouches!!
Dehydrating your own meals is definitely the way to go! It saves money and tastes better. Plus like you said, you'll save on weight and bulkiness. I think you have a good plan in place!! I will have to check out that Hydroflask too.. Thanks for commenting!
@@BackcountryPaddler PS Thanks for the chili recipe too! I'll give it a try this winter and make up a few meals while I'm at it but I'm using venison burger!
I'm having fun just getting into the TH-cam community! I hope to find my niche eventually. For now enjoy this stuff...😆
-Mark
Brilliant.
Thanks George!
@@BackcountryPaddler 😃
Fack, leaving for Algonquin in 11 Hours so won't have time to make this for this trip lol but will definitely try this out for the next! Thank you!
I still have some dehydrated in my freezer. Stop on by! 😄
Great tutorial... Thanks for sharing...
Thanks for watching it!
@@BackcountryPaddler welcome

Yep, definitely still use it and love it. Adding the plastic trays makes all the difference.. making it super easy!
Really nice instructional, with nice touches of humour throughout. I'm lovin' your channel. Subbed.

Thanks Martin! Glad you found it. I've got so much of yours to dive into too..
I don’t think the “clean-up crew” was just there to bat clean up. I think they wanted to be in the game.

It really is... besides a good ribeye it's my favorite meal on trips!
Great video mate. Food looks amazing I must invest in a dehydrate. Sam
Thanks! I'm really glad when people find my channel and they have a good one themselves. New stuff to watch!

Ugly bowls are available on my merch site, check it out!!!
*DISCLAIMER: No such merch site exists.
Thanks for checking it out, Adrian!
Hey, my mom made that bowl for me, its an original!! 🤣
@@keilaaguglia1414 😬
Awesome video! I will be making this soon for sure!
Awesome! I usually wait until Fall time to make it. Can't wait...
Lost me at "boil water"... couldn't keep up at that point!

I pray things change for the better soon. Glad you can at least get away and refresh and reset!
Why is the music so loud can't here you
Sorry, amateur TH-camr 🤷♂️

@@BackcountryPaddler I do not have a dehydrator, but am going to have to try some stuff in our air fryer.
I came here looking for a backpacking recipe. I enjoyed the video so much I subscribed! Nice job. Dane
Thanks Dane!!
Great recipe , nice job dehydrating it, I'm looking forward to the camping trip

Funny, I'm literally just about to rehydrate some and have it for dinner at home! I'm looking forward to your video!!
Looks good. Can’t wait to try it!
Its quite good! When I was a kid my grandmother used to let me eat the meat raw while making it.... might explain why I'm a little off. 😜
@@BackcountryPaddler lol...nice
That was extremely helpful because I have the same dehydrator but didn’t know about the fruit roll sheets. Thanks
It makes dehydrating things so much easier! I use them for everything!
Thanks for posting- I've used the straw trick too. Nice to see a bit of home life. take care till the next one!
Glad you enjoyed it, Brian. Be careful not to inhale chili dust when doing it!! Haha
That was cool! I may have to get one of those dehydrators. Thanks!

@@hike-bike-paddle-and-drone That should rehydrate well!! Hope to see it in a video.
Best backcountry meal you can make.
Nothing beats taking the taste of home with you. Better than the store bought stuff! Lighter, cheaper and taste better. Thanks for stopping in, Jason.
