- Learn how to do the simple steps to prepare your own chili to last without refrigeratoration. This is a basic guide to creating a lightweight hearty meal to take with you on your next hiking or camping trip. All that's needed to rehydrate is to add boiling water and let the chili sit for 20 minutes. A good way to save on camp fuel and meal prep time.

I love to do road trips that involve camping and spending as little money as possible. This year I am going to try to dehydrate my own meals and use my jet boil to rehydrate and this just boosted my confidence in the idea so thank you very much for this!
Glad to help keeping those Gray Dog Adventures going!
Fantastic! Thank you so much!! I'm getting ready to hike the San Juan for ten days and this dehydrated chili will sustain me.
Hope you have a great time hiking. Glad to help!
Thank you for this video! I was a bit afraider but I will buy a food dryer and make my own instant food for hiking and camping instead of buying it in the store 💪
Glad to hear Eva, hope you create some awesome meals!
This is super convenient... I'm actually just about to go to Walmart to grab all the things to make chili and then dehydrate it later 😂. Cheers !
Shoulder season is perfect for dehydrating. Good Luck!
Hi Jay... that is awesome... Thanks for the Cameo... Great recipe for this chili BTW... Glad to hear that you have been enjoying the show... makes it all worth while... Have a great Summer and Keep the Adventures Alive!... Dennis
Chilli is definitely a staple! Thanks for the laughs!
Any time! Just hoping I can put those meals to use some time.
That is a really really well done video Jay. Your camera and editing work are top notch! Do you find that your ground beef comes back to life alright? Every time Ashley and I dehydrate ground beef we find it stays kind of like gravel. Looks awesome though. Also wondering what pot lifter you have. We are due for a new one and that one you are using looks pretty solid. Thanks for posting Jay
Thanks for watching! I'm just using the pot lifter that came with my Coleman cook set, seems to hold up well.... Ground beef will never be perfect but after rehydrating, I find it's very edible and wouldn't turn down seconds. Credit goes to Kevin Outdoors for sharing his tips, check him out!
this man is ready to live on the moon, just break some ice on the moon and serve
Yes I know there's no oxygen to fuel the flames
Great idea. Ive only made beef jerky with mine, comes out fantastic. However with all these chillies Im growing i was like what can I do with them all. Thanks! Subbed
Sounds great!
Excellent video, thanks! Really liked the editing. Did you also dehydrate the cheese? Thinking that has fat so it won't store that well (unless frozen)?
Thanks for watching! Dehydrating cheese doesn't work for long term storage, the cheese I used was a prepackaged freeze dried cheddar to cut down on weight. I also found that most cheese can keep without refrigerating for a few day's as well.
@@jaysway2346 Ah ok. I'll have to see if such a cheese exists here in Europe. They're very big on "authentic" cheeses. We often go for weeks at a time to the boreal forest of Scandinavia where we live. That can be very warm during late summer - thus the search for a dehydrated cheese which lasts. Appreciate the quick reply and I'm looking forward to experimenting with making our own dehydrated food and cutting down on the expense of commercial meals.
Thx for the instructions, enjoyed your video
Thanks for watching, glad it was helpful!
awesome editing!
Thanks!
Forgot to add the water to the ingredients list and when to add the garlic
Very true, you can see it at 0:45 and 0:52, I just forgot to mention it.
Excellent, thanks for the vid. Does this make much difference to the longevity of the food? Is it worth doing anyway for home use, for example?
Most of my food prep is done over the winter to prepare for open water camping and reduce the weight. If the intent is for home use, I think the only benefit would be to keep your beef for a longer time if no freezer is available.
How much water do you add? Or simply 'wing it'
I put 1 cup of water for this batch.
@jaysway2346 thanks for your insight!! I have some chili frozen I'd like to dehydrate! Cheers!
Looks like we are going to Jays place for dinner
Only 1 tablespoon chili powder? Damn, that's some bland chili😣
Thanks for watching! You may want to spice it up a little but on day 7 everything tastes good.
What dehydrator are you using in video as I'm improvising using my halogen cooker
Check out 1:09 in the video, it displays the exact model. Thanks for watching!
Where did you get the water if you carried it with you dehydrating your chili was pointless
Boil the lake water Michael, you're absolutely right, carrying the water where I camp would be pointless. If you're in an area with no water, dehydrating extends the shelf life with no refrigerating.
The music was 💩, the video was supposed to be about dehydrating chili not how to cook chili, great video editing but the audio was totally 💩! Nothing personal just a opinion of what I was looking for,,
Thanks for the feedback Gary Edwards, sorry you had to watch it, I hope you can find what you're looking for. Cheers!
So.just a few seconds in I heard you say “beans” in the same sentence as chili?? That’s Not chili, that’s spicy meat and beans. For the record chili has NO beans. Just saying.
I'll keep that in mind, Thanks for watching.
