I'm disabled and dehydrated meals work great for me! I can't stand at the stove and cook for a long time anymore. So, when I'm in a lot of pain and can't cook they're great! I just have to turn on my kettle and I can eat meals I made on the days I could. Dehydrators are so useful!

Thank you, dude you remind me of every favorite instructor or school teacher I've ever had.

Here's an idea for you. I take my own dehydrated vegetables, Lipton chicken or vegetable soup packets, and La Moderna Fideo noodles or something similar and I have have a very hearty and filling soup in individual servings. Start with rehydrating the veggies then add the soup package, and the noodles if using the chicken flavor. If using the packaged vegetable soup add the noodles near the end of the cook to give the veggies time to rehydrate properly. You can even add dehydrated or canned meats if you like. A bowl of this, a few slices of canned brown bread sprinkled with some butter powder or ghee, and you won't go hungry.

Thank you for keeping it simple and showing the entire process.

Josh, those are great tips on dehydration, and I'm really glad we'll get to see more of your public land hunting. Thank you for the great video.

Great instructions. Exactly what I was looking for.

Awesome and very informative video!!! Thanks Buddy

This is exactly what I am getting at myself! Make my own dehydrated meals for hunting trips and for hiking trips! Thank you! I love the cozy! I will make one for me and one for my friend :)

Thankyou for this info, love the coozy idea, brilliant

Great and useful video!

Thank You Josh; very informative.

Absolutely amazing video bro! Thank you!

Thanks for the great video. I don’t hunt but hike and backpack a bunch so this will be helpful.

You could also boil your cooked meat to get rid of excess fat.

This is awesome. I’m going to start doing this for my camping trips. This looks way cheaper than buying it from the store.

Great ideas, I’ll be using these. Thanks

Amazing video!

The best way to remove the fat is to brown the meat then add stock to it and simmer it. Then take the stock and ground meat and put them in a fairly tall container such that the liquid is covering the meat by at least 2 inches, after that put it in the fridge overnight...the fat will float to the top and harden, then you can pull all of it off easily.

Great instructions and tips. Ths!

Great video thanks a bunch

Howdy. What a great video! In your experience, how long will the dehydrated, sealed bags last on a shelf? Also, have you ever rehydrated this type of meal w/out the reflectix? Thanks!

Good video, thanks!

Thank you for the help

I'm glad to know that the vacuum seal bags from FoodSaver work just as well as a freezer bag. Only thing I would do different, and this is not a ding by any mean, I would add some psyllium husk to the meals. And when I say psyllium husk I mean less than an eighth of a tablespoon. That's just to give you a little bit of fiber to get things moving along on the trail . Again this is not a ding it's just my professional opinion. Otherwise, awesome video!

Cool vid vary good ideas ..gl this year i to only hunt public land here in NC

Think im gonna try this for my upcoming diy Alaska 10 moose hunt maybe I will use some leftover moose so they can smell their own!! Thanks for the great video!

Some of the best years ive had hunting in wisconsin were before we purchased land. I took some nice deer in the chequamegon on public land

Pressure cooking chicken breasts works fine. Ground Turkey works great aswell.

I prefer to skip breakfast and eat a really high fat diet starting at lunch time, but one great way to get calories in is to add some grass fed butter/ ghee with some coconut or mct oil with your coffee to make “Bulletproof Coffee”. You get a ton of high fat liquid calories and the fat helps to slow down the absorption of the caffeine which keeps the caffeine kick going longer.

Bowhunter called fletcher, awesome.

Thanks for this! No more ramen noodles haha

I'm looking for backpacking meals.... that I'd want to eat!! Peanut butter ramen is definitely not for me 🤮This sounds perfect for chilly nights!😜 And I think my hunny might would even go with me 😍😍😍

How long on the shelf would it last ? I thought about doing this for emergency meals.

I’ve found that dehydrated food can make tiny holes in my vacuum seal bags. I add a paper towel to protect the bag. Seems to work and then I have a towel w each meal. Wondering if you’ve had the same problem & if not would you mind sharing which bags you are using?

What is the average time it takes to dehydrate the chili. Ball Park?

When you seal a meal your mral do you ever have the food saver bags puncture from the sharp dried pieces? I seem to get quarter of mine puncture. I found if i wrapped it in a paper towel in the seal a meal bag it prevents them from puncturing and i have a napkin!

Could you dehydrate home canned turkey?

what about recipes that you normally use more liquids? chilly sauce, tomato paste or sauce? what about stews? etc?

How long would you say the shelf life is for these meals? Would they last a month or two before my trip?

Putting boiling food into a plastic bag is a great way to consume a bunch of microplastics and probably various nasty chemicals depending on the plastic used. It's not designed to hold boiling water, but rather to be frozen

I'm not sure how I feel about boiling water and plastic. BPA heaven.

What is the shelf life of something like that?

Or use ground turkey like ground beef and add the bread crumbs?

Where do you find those there heater bag for cooking your meals??

great info i use food thermos for rehydrating cause i dont like eating out of plastic no offense everybody is different

This guy reminds me of Stone Cold Steve Austin

now we just need a way to dehydrate a 12pk or 2

What dehydrator is in this video?

Ever try buffalo burger there's almost no fat

Boil the burger, put it in a strainer and then rinse it again with boiling water.

NOODLES IN CHILI?!?!??!?!?

I'm sorry bro, but you did not make chili. lol. chili with noodles is called goulash .

Boil the burger it gets rid of the fat

"it's all about calories", dang right ! Consume as much garbage as long as it's high in calories !

bruh that's some cope about getting kicked off the land

you didn't say "backcountry" enough. say it 20 times more please!

Headowdah-eyedaHoe- ondaArchRyy. Thanks for the vid!
