Homemade backcountry food

[arik1]

Looking for idea . What are some meals you guys prep ahead of time to bring with on the hunt? I made the protein bars from Ryan Lampers website today just to try them. Definitely bringing some of those with. But now I'm looking for recipes or ideas for actual meals, not just snacks.

Dehydrated chilli - home made deer chilli

Turkey dinner

Dehydrate 2 cans of turkey chunk meat
Sandwich bag of stove top stuffing
Idahoan mashed potatoes
Packet of instant turkey gravy
Dried cranberries

Rehydrates with boiling water and is amazing on the trail.

Pizza pockets

Dehydrated pizza sauce
Shelf stable pepperoni
Mozza cheese strings
Pitas or tortillas

Rehydrate sauce in cold water in freezer bag
Add ingredients and warm over the fire or eat cold.

Those are a couple of my regular faves

BIG difference between dehydrated food and freeze-dried food.


Choose wisely

Look here.  https://www.backpackingchef.com/backpacking-meals.html

Great site for DIY backpacking meals.  I generally make my own dehydrated meals with a vacuum sealer and freezer bag method for a number of years.  I know what's in it.  Can control calories, flavor, sodium.

For a real treat for your sweet tooth try some dehydrated rocky roads ice cream.

Im hooked on the sweet potato bark from backpackingchef.com.  You can also add water to the bark and make mashed sweet potatoes.  Pretty easy to make and light to pack around.
