'I demonstrate a simple process for dehydrating meals for the backcountry.    Follow Me…  Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/KevinOutdoors1/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kevin_outdoors1/?hl=en  Find the dehydrator I use in either of my Amazon stores.  My Amazon Stores  USA         https://www.amazon.com/shop/kevinoutdoors Canada   https://www.amazon.ca/shop/kevinoutdoors Where you can find lots of the gear that I use.    I dehydrate the meat separately from the rest of the meal for better re-hydration.  Check out that video here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zba3N9H6fTE   When I package the meal I weigh each portion and add spices and other ingredients before vacuum sealing.   I demonstrate with three meals how I follow this simple 5 step process...   1) Dehydrate the meat (160°F)  2) Pre cook some ingredients   -starch (rice, pasta, potatoes) -Vegetables that taste better after sauté (onions and mushrooms)  3) Assemble the meal (without meat) -Mix cooked and uncooked ingredients  4) Dehydrate the meal (135°F)  5) Package the meal adding meat and extras -Egg and dairy substitutes, spices  How do I rehydrate my meals?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csUDPFOmm4A  To see how I prepare these meals in the field and what they look like watch here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLd0VpVw1t0  Or check out my Coastal Hiking Trail series...  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL71uE0jHe7onH4U96gSb7mtflxdRIZlL1   I often get asked for the recipe....  I have also made a separate video showing my shepherd’s pie recipe… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT39FrOe9is&lc=z12gxjoyqxjshlfhb04cfdfwhonyy1pjjys0k  Here are the ingredients to my \'Beef and Rice\' recipe... 1 cup brown rice 1 chopped onion 3 chopped cloves of garlic 1 Tbsp canola oil 1 pack of frozen spinach (thawed) 1 179 ml (28oz) can of chopped tomatoes  1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper  This works with 1 lb of ground beef.  I didn\'t write down my Tuna Caserole recipe.  (sometimes I wing it!) I think it has...  1 chopped onion 1 pack of mushrooms chopped 1 can of cream of mushroom soup 1 cup of frozen peas some cooked egg noodles salt and pepper  It isn\'t about the recipe but rather the technique.  Cut out the fat and reduce the oils and follow the steps I show and almost any recipe can be converted for backcountry meals.
