Plus, despite the upfront price-tag, they've saved us a TON of money in the long-run. Over the course of hundreds of nights on trail, our calculations are that we've saved at least $35,000 by making our own meals instead of buying backpacking food from the store. Our freeze dryer is the smallest model from Harvest Right: https://affiliates.harvestright.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=2664&url=751&tid1=YTDvsF Our favorite dehydrator is from Excalibur (made in USA!). Ours very similar to this one, but our exact model is older and no longer available: https://bit.ly/4aMxn3x The first dehydrator we ever bought was this one by Nesco. It's a great machine and very affordable, we just needed something bigger: https://amzn.to/4vm5RlB Here's a write-up on our website of what to look for if you're shopping for a dehydrator: https://thruhikers.co/dehydrators/ We may receive a small commission for purchases made by using the links here.
