. . . around here. My son is gone for 8 days of hiking and climbing in the wilderness! For two weeks we dried food and he pre-packaged all his dinners. A list of food dried:
- canned beans
- hamburger
- tomate sauce and spaghetti sauce
- sweet onions
- green, yellow and red peppers
- canned pineapple for granola
- lot's of yogurt drops
He rounded out his meals with quinoa, thin spaghetti and cous cous and loves how is food tastes. Homemade granola with fruit for snacks, instant oatmeal and chocolate. The estimated weight of food is 10 - 12 pounds which is nothing compared to the climbing equipment, he carries about 80 pounds. Elevation gained the first day is about 3,000 feet, Oh to young!
I took a 5 gallon bucket of finished compost (2 yr old, worm ridden, YES!) over to my daughters garden for the tomatoes. They are looking so beautiful and a ample harvest is looking good with lot's of canned tomatoes! The rest of the garden is amazing too. I have about 2 more bucketsof compost left to keep feeding the garden.
I'm finally back online and trying to get caught up! I have to say I admire your son. I remember doing similar back in the day. Now I'm just happy to have that finished compost to share. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to hear more about how you dehydrate these foods.
