Here are a few examples of the meals that I put together for extended back country hunts or hikes, I dehydrate all my own food fresh from the garden or from the game that I manage to get, the elk meat is either shank or neck meat that I cook the living daylights out of in the crok pot, veggies are zucchini, green beans, broccoli, corn, Cantrell mushrooms, cabbage, all the one that I like but you can include just about any veggie, some take longer to reconstitute but thats another subject that a person will figure out with experience, a few tricks that I use to speed things up in camp, is pre cook the noodles before there dehydrated so they will reconstitute in cold water with out cooking, for tortellini and spaghetti I purchase the gallons size sauce like Ragu, poured out on wax paper or butcher paper sprayed with a spray like pam, a gallon jug of sauce after dehydrating fits inside a small sandwich bag, sorta like spaghetti leather that reconstitutes in cold water just heat up, I purchase the sauce mixes from cash and carry, my favorites are the Alfredo, country gravy,and brown gravy, include powdered milk for cereal, or coffee, throw in a few Oreo cookies, and few hand wipes, I like to make up the dinners for 4 servings during the off season when things are slow and days are shorter, another tip I use is include 2 paper towels in the sealed up meal one side list the ingredients of the meal it protects the bag from puncturing, and can be used for fire starter or cleaning up.
