I've given up drying hamburger, personally.  I'll carry the extra weight and avoid the work.  Once it's cooked, it'll stay pretty good, especially if it isn't exposed to air.  Now I just cook it, cool it, and seal it in my foodsaver.  But I admire your ambition!

Hmmm, I'll have to try your method for the first couple of days out or so, but I would think it would be questionable by the fourth or fifth day. I'm going for twelve days. Man a food bag for one guy and twlve days gets full fast... Thanks for the advise... both of you :)
