Another cooking tip from Jim. How to save money by making your own dry meals. Dehydrated hamburger is the first step in making lightweight delicious meals for out in the wilderness. This is something we have used over the years and feel like we have not only saved a ton of money, but also felt like our meals may have been a little more tasty. If you look at the cost of freeze dried meals in camping stores these days and feel like they are a bit spendy hopefully this video will help you on your way to keep a few dollars in your pocket on your next trip into the wilderness.

Could you recommend a particular brand of dehydrator, or at least recommend things to look for before purchasing one. Thanks.

@Trudy Thomas: Hi Trudy,
The dehydrator we use we picked up at a garage sale. Really any food dehydrator sold today will do a sufficient job. I’d check out amazon and see what the reviews have to say. Anything with a 4 or 5 star will work great. One thing that might help in dehydrating burger is to make sure the weave of the tray has relatively small holes. You definitely need airflow, but the burger shrinks in size so much that it can fall through the cracks easily. I hope you find yourself eating some tasty meals on your next canoe trip.
Thanks for commenting,
