@@jaya9936 Yes exactly! It rehydrates much faster in the backcountry if we rehydrate and dehydrate it at home. Seems redundant, but saves a ton of fuel!

Dehydrators are fucking awesome. My mom used to get the *almost* too ripe fruit from the discount shelf and would dehydrate it. It was like candy. 🤤 I can't stand store bought dried fruit because I've had the real, no sugar added thing
Wow this video was a nice reminder of these tips bc i previously learned them from the Chanel “thru hikers” and seeing this tip again makes me wanna go out and hike like befor😗
this is my next step in backpacking. when it's just 2-3 nights the store bought meals cut it but on 10-20 nights I really start craving something more and I think making my own might be the only way. For breakfast I never get sick of oatmeal, dried fruit and instant coffee. I eat oatmeal/fruit/coffee at home anyway.
This is awesome thank you! I'm 41 years old and have been wanting to start backpacking like this for YEARS now, but I lack experience and knowledge. Also I have gall bladder issues and have to be pretty picky when it comes to my meals at times so this is excellent for me 👍
I love this because you can do this with a food dehydrator like you said which is awesome and doesn't have you don't have to have a buttload of money or you can freeze dry it too and make them you know what they're better for you cuz you know what's in it God bless you and thank you for sharing this and I hope your trip was so awesome and you wouldn't get food poisoning with your own food right God bless girl you're you're an amazing person for doing all those thanks for putting it out there for us and it makes everything later when you take the water out of it
What does work about this is if you need to carry the water to hydrate it with. It would keep the food preserved longer but would not lighten the load.
You need to carry the water anyway since we need water to survive and especially when we’re in conditions, such as backpacking where we’re using more energy than usual so it’s already important to have an abundance of water. Either way. Additionally, with dehydrated food, you can fit more into serving bags so to carry the same amount of food. you need less baggage
Seeing people need to carry water for drinking anyways and often filter water on the go, carrying dry food and rehydrating it on the go weighs less than having to carry the food wet and still having to carry water to drink. Dehydrated food also lasts a lot longer and if stored right, can stay good for a very long time without spoiling, all while wet food would need to be stored cold and would then still only be good for some days vs having a shelflife of many months or even years in a dehydrated state
?!?! Just eat the chocolate. Buying vegan or raw stuff will get you mostly leighter packaging for higher nutritious quality. Consider drying berries, black, straw, rasp, or banana slices, apples, pineapple . Make that your candy. With dome almonds or coconut powder or dried. Any sugar is breaking of all the vitamins and minerals in your foidplan, thus not allowing full absorption of vital elements. Be gentle with your dentistbills too.
I prefer to just bring dry food and sacrifice comfort with food because it becomes just a pain in the as, cooking during an expedition just takes away from time for the expedition
Honestly these are good for late work nights when you dont have energy to cook. Or fast lunches. Or road trip meals because who really wants another hamburger...
No, a lot of vitamins micronutrients and minerals are destroyed during this process but not all, fresh food is essential but it's important to reduce water weight from food while hiking. So make sure to eat fresh meats especially when in towns or right after the hike, meat and animal fat is the most nutrient dense food on planet earth, despite what people have been led to believe.
Almost nothing. Some places it would cost 1$ some it might cost 5$ per month if you use it lots. electricity prices vary by quite a lot from place to place. in Ontario Canada I paid about 10 cents per kWH, in a lot of the USA it’s 5 times that price.
Not to mention all the additives and being highly processed. A home made dehydrated meal would be the same as a regular home cooked meal ingredient wise and nutrition wise, no additives used
I always wonder if the costs for the energy needed for dehydrating your own meals isn't also quite expensive? Did you take that into account? Or is the dehydrater not that energy-consuming?
Get a smaller one that you can add trays to, get silicone trays too, for runny things like eggs. I bought a Cosori, you can add extra trays to it. I also bought the silicone tray liners. I didn't buy it all at once. The dehydrator first, so I could start drying things. Then one item a month. SAVE the boxes they come in, to repack for the Move! It's not a large box at all. GOD bless
Dehydrators do not run at a very high wattage, also, you are forgetting that at home, people can run things like a dehydrator on solar that they have to power their home already, where as on the trail, cooking, fuel and weight are at a premium.
Raw pasta is not the same as cooked and dehydrated. Rehydrating (and heating) cooked food is faster and requires less fuel and water than cooking it would and it also allows for cold soaking if wanting to save even more fuel. With everytbing already being cooked and ready to eat before being dehydrated, all it needs to be consumed is to be reconstituted with a bit of water
BPA free or Stainless Steel. Size depends on how much you Think you will use it. I bought one that I can add additional trays to. I also bought the silicone trays for dehydrating eggs and other runny items. You can also use your dehydrator to make Dog Biscuits!, herbs for teas and cooking.

Weigh your food before you dehydrate it then again after, for every 1g of weight loss you will need 1ml of water to rehydrate.
just eyeball it lol
There's water on the trail

Was going to ask the same. Do u need to boil the noodles before dehydrating?
@@BeeGeey No, dry pasta is already dehydrated. That's why it's dry. And dry means dehydrated.
It the takes an hour to re-hydrate. More for meat. The pre made meals are freeze dried which is why they're expensive.
There's a reason why you're not supposed to use parchment paper to cover up all the ventilation layers... 😅

Ong is not the same as cooking. Dry pasta is raw and dry, dehydrated pasta is cooked and dry. Different chemical process
One is cooked and one isn't. It makes sense to cook it, it doesn't make sense to throw raw pasta in a fully cooked meal
@@jaya9936the reason is because the rice is already made. Of course something raw will take longer to make.
I've made my own meals since 1977. I backpack and bikepack 9 months a year.
Wow you must've been had tons of interesting experience!
Legit question how do you afford to do something like that?
Yes! Have been doing this this summer and it's honestly a game changer🎉
they also have very few plant based premade dehydrated meals available.
And most cheaper options add like 20/30% cheese poweder and stuff in there for the high protein ratios. Wish me luck with my lactose intolerance...
@@daviddemmers130yeah David, that's hy I hooray this option, any fodmap one has identigied can be opted out. A lifesaving gamechanger. Som people try to use malted yeast instead of cheese, others get sick of it.

You might want to look into freeze drying. They retains more nutrients, and it’s much lighter, then dehydrated food as in it weighs less.
Freeze dryers are extremely expensive compared to dehydrators.
@@borobdinbut how coll are they
At $4k+ it doesn't make sense unless you're doing it commercially

have you tried Textured vegitable protein (TVP)? it's dehydrated you just add water and youc an use it to replace groundbeef.
Sounds depressing!
actually it's not if you flavour it right it's so good.@@6foot8jesuspilledpureblood82

Try mail your selfs the stuff on your trip and each time you go in to a town pick it up
The internet has completely fucked the cognitive capabilities of the average person. Everybody asking why you’re dehydrating cooked pasta… smh
How much energy does it need? If its running for 8 to 12 hours? I have the feeling one would go broke here.
They run at a low heat with a fan
Question from a complete newbie. Can you just take dry noodles? I see you cooking then dehydrating?
Honestly these are good for late work nights when you dont have energy to cook. Or fast lunches.
Or road trip meals because who really wants another hamburger...
How long do they last once dehydrated?
Will the nutrients of the food stays the same after being dehydrated?

I do a LOT of dehydrating for my trips.
Azure standard has lots of dehydrated food like red bell pepper, cartots, onions and stuff like that.
And for camping in a car off grid. Not bad, not bad. Thank you
just a question...why boil pasta and then dehydrate it? when its literally dry to begin with?
How much does a dehydrator add to your electric bill?
Certainly loads less than the 3 to 15 bucks per ready bought dehydrated meal , including prep time and ingredients.
Almost nothing. Some places it would cost 1$ some it might cost 5$ per month if you use it lots. electricity prices vary by quite a lot from place to place. in Ontario Canada I paid about 10 cents per kWH, in a lot of the USA it’s 5 times that price.
Did I just watch this woman boil pasta dehydrated, then boil it again to rehydrate it LOL
Probably for shorten the cooking time on cooking "raw" pasta.
I was looking at meals at a local store yesterday - they start at $15 here and just go up. Oatmeal was $15!! For one serving.
Just put in a ziplockbag or plastic bowl with lid or ur pan ovetnite covered in water, next day cook for little time or add some wzrm water to taste.
This is so fucking cool
Why would you dehydrate pasta? Do cooked and then rehydrated pasta really reconstitute faster than just cooking it?
I need to start doing this
The number of people who don't understand that raw pasta is not the same as dehydrated cooked pasta is really astounding.
The fact that you don't know what dry pasta is is astounding.
Can u dehydrated chocolate and candies?
Why would you want to?
Am I missing something l? So you hydrate noodle just to dehydrate them? Serious question
I'm a little confused about the pasta? Why did you cook it then dehydrated it?
30$$ in Canada! Crazyness
Few stirs in between as in I have to lift up each tray to stir? Just asking for clarification.
Eat normal meal very easy with boil water and dehydrated dry food,
12 hrs, my dad would shake his head and complain about the electric bill. 😅
Its very low heat and electricity voltage.
Tim and Renee duuupppeee
Annie’s Mac is already dehydrated though.
How long does it stay good for once dehyrated?
Plus those premade meals have tons of sodium.
Not to mention all the additives and being highly processed. A home made dehydrated meal would be the same as a regular home cooked meal ingredient wise and nutrition wise, no additives used
Ziploc bags are also reusable
Do you come up with recipes on your own or do you use resources with good dehydrated meal recipes?
Ever look at the sodium in mountainhouse?

What I've learnt from video: 🙈🙉🙊
How long dose dehydrated food last tho ?
If you dont have a dehydrator you can use your oven on its lowest temp
I always wonder if the costs for the energy needed for dehydrating your own meals isn't also quite expensive? Did you take that into account? Or is the dehydrater not that energy-consuming?
They're now that power hungry usually, like 100-300 watts. But it's just not as good s freeze dried anyway
You are confusing dehydrated with freeze dried.
Not the same thing but I would expect nothing less from a trail hiker😘
Ugh, i would give anything for a dehydrator. I have to wait until we move this fall 😭😭

Random fact but this background music is also in an Ohio travel commercial 😂
Do you know how much energy it costs? Would be very interested in that. 8h sounds like it would take a lot of electricity
dehydrators only run at like 60 degrees celsius
Dehydrators do not run at a very high wattage, also, you are forgetting that at home, people can run things like a dehydrator on solar that they have to power their home already, where as on the trail, cooking, fuel and weight are at a premium.

Ok maybe this is a stupid question. But why do you have to cook and dehydrate the noodles?
It speeds up the process. You can also “cook” pasta with lukewarm water this way… or just throw water in there if you’re lazy.
