Salsa is always a big hit. Take along the most indestructible crackers you can find, (Triscuits have worked for us), reconstitute some salsa, and you have a nice treat. Besides that, we usually have at least one dinner of dehydrated chili, and one of dehydrated stew of the day. A vacuum packer works well to contain the finished product.

For fruits, try taking some applesauce and dry it in the soup tray. Makes good apple leather.

Jerky takes a little practice. It is somewhat like chili with all the variations a person can make. Seasonings, type of critter, type of cut all make a difference.

Possibilities are pretty much endless. It does take some playing around to see what is worth the work and what is not.

FISH Jerky??!??!!? What are you complaining about, TTC? It went over real good with our bottled water and thermally challenged ice cubes I thought.
