Dehydrating your own hiking food | DIY meals for backpacking camping | Beef jerky, bolognaise, dahl

CAMPING FOOD
I love making my own food for hiking trips and I love being ultralight. I aim to carry 750g food per day on longer hikes and dehydrating your own food can really help drop the weight.

If you would prefer to purchase your meals I recommend https://bit.ly/390J06H

I demonstrate how I dehydrate meals for on the trail. I show you exactly how to dehydrate your own backpacking food including cooking, loading the dehydrator, packaging, and eating.

One of my subscribers requested I do a video on dehydrated backpacking recipes. Im so excited to share this one with you. These are my main go to meals for hiking, camping, and backpacking.

These meals are lightweight and absolutely delicious

I’ve got into this through a bit of trial and error – I recommend checking out a group on Facebook where I learnt a lot its called dehydrating devas and dudes https://www.facebook.com/groups/937950979564072/
