In response to eggs....... Here is what I and or we do.
We pack in 6 hard boiled. 3 each for the next morning. We have found a protective shell designed for such at Ace.

The following morn is ususaly just oat meal, or those dang bars. To tired to think on seriously cooking again.

The next morning starting to live with the pain and whoop up some low colesteral version of dehydrated form just the grocery store... extreemly light weight and not to bad if you like cardboard.

Next morning a hardy meal of pancakes, jelly and more... maple oatmeal. This was a good thing for keeping you regular  as we tended to over do it on summer sausage & cheese in the past. (Did I share (perhaps contribute) too much again?)

Then on the next morning we finaly wake up and wish we had bacon..... no, really,we do! We forgot about being so darn cheap and bought the special issue from our local sporting goods store. Mountain something, with dehydrated bacon added. The good stuff. Enough to make me drool. Heck, I think I'm gonna leave the cardboard at home this year.

After the fourth morning we repeat the cycle or just get creative.

Oh, here's a good tip. Bacon bits! To add to what ever.. perhaps just mac and cheese. (Don't forget the carnation powdered milk!) Just keep them tightly sealed along with any other spice to keep it hopefully hidden from Yogi's whiffer.

Goat and K....

I have a bunch of boy scouts that I have been drying some food for. So far some of it has went well. I had one boy ask about eggs so that was why I ask for help. I thought it sounded sick to start with. K... I like the idea of mac an cheese with bacon. I will have to try that. canoeboy

I just posted a recipe for "Vegetable Soup Leather" that I picked up a few years ago from "The Geezer Cookbook" on (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links).  I haven't checked to see if the website is still active.  There aren't many dehydrator recipes in there, but I have tried this one and found it very good.
The technique of cooking meats and vegetables separately in the stock and dehdrating meats, vegetables and stock separately can probably be applied to a number of recipes.

Hmnn, you might just have to ask around. There might be others that would perhaps be interested in helping you out. I too am a scout leader.... well actualy tiger cubs. A new program for 1st graders, a year before they are eligable for cub scouts. I may also be helping out with the boy scouts on bwca trips. I may consider teaming up with you some year. There are others here that I would believe would be up to a trip like this. Only problem I can see is I would think the whiskey would have to be left at home, but with all that help from the boys the physical part may be a heck of alot more tolerable. Yes, the whimpy dad's can be an issue, but I think "most" of the dad's in my pack are pretty tough. The ones that show up, or would consider the trip. But it would be nice to journey with someone that has some experience, so a to proud dad doesn't attempt to take over and get the pack in trouble on a windy day or what ever.
What did you think of the sandwich?
If you watch for specials you can get jerky at a pretty good price! And it keeps very well! Then I also have the luxury of an uncle with a farm and a smoker. The deer jerky is awsome. Jerky is good for indurance. I mix it up with bars (for quick energy) and sandwich's prepared early in the day. Gave up on bread for the most part, although I'll need some for the grilled peanut butter thing. Frozen shaved ham along with sliced cheese and yes jam or peanut butter too, is all mixed in a variety of fashions depending on what's left. Not as bad as it sounds...really! But I now mostly use soft boritto torttlias. (I can never spell that right) They don't crush and keep well. Don't forget to stock up on the little packets of mustard, mayo, horsie sause, from your fast food joints. If you forget, Arbies in Ely is always willing to help out. That is my substanance for the day while I paddle, along with freeze dried mixed fruit. I never drink and paddle other than water. This year I actual got brave and drank straight from "THE MIDDLE FAR AWAY FROM BEAVER DAMS"  of the lake or wide deep part of a river I was on. I'm not suggesting this and if you do it you do it at your own risk. I've known others that have become deathly sick. The whiskey is reserved for the end of the day, when I need it most.

Well then, perhaps the first time around it should be with just yourself, your boys, and I. That would be less of a daunting task, prep us for a boyscout trip and allow us to bring whiskey...! I can teach your kids how to climb like a monkey to hang the bear bag! (FYI... must be done b4 drinking whiskey) LOL! Something to ponder any hoo.

Ah, now I'm reminicing. My first taste of whiskey, I was about twelve. Dad knew I was curious so he gave a shot of straight scotch. I thought it was horrible, I'm sure that was what Dad had intended. I'm also sure that is why I drink bourban. I think scotch is dehydrated. They took all the good stuff out.
