Welcome to my course “Dehydrating  Vegan Meals for Backpacking & Camping”. 

This course was initially designed to help people prepare & dehydrate delicious, nutritious meals for themselves at a fraction of the cost of prepared camping meals.  As the course grew, it necessitated the explanation of basic dehydrating, equipment, food preparation and methods. 

This course therefore is also a great start for anyone wanting to learn more about dehydrating, even though they may not use it for the said purpose of creating camping and hiking meals.  It is also not necessary to be vegan, as there is plenty of information for all dietary preferences.

The information is also useful for those who live on the road in their campers, trailers and RVs.  When you are staying in a camp grounds or anywhere that has access to water and power, it is a good time to spend dehydrating produce for the next leg of your adventure.  Preparing these meals whilst in a camper (RV), etc makes travelling on the road much easier and less stressful.  More food can be carried when storage space is at a minimum.

Getting outside in the Great Outdoors is always beneficial for your health and wellbeing.  Once the stress of having to spend a lot of time creating meals is gone, life on the road is enjoyable and stress free.  You only have to rehydrate and heat your meals.

Then all that is left is to EAT your homemade delicious food.

When exploring you can carry dehydrated fruits, snacks and vegetables to satisfy your appetite, along with your family and travelling companions.

I also include some healthy Raw Food snacks that can be enjoyed on your adventures.

This course incorporates information on Equipment and Vacuum Sealing along with some short-term storage ideas.

In this course I cover basic preparation and instructions on dehydrating a large variety of single items.  I then show you how to prepare and cook whole meals that can be dehydrated, vacuumed sealed and taken with you.  We then move on to Dry Meals, which involves making up meals from your single dehydrated products, shown in the Basic (single items) section. 

Then I show you some breakfast ideas, some Quick N Easy ideas for when you are strapped for time, some delicious Snacks and some interesting extra videos with other deydrating ideas.

ENJOY   .
