How do you prepare food for your outings?
Are you a well-prepared planner who pre-cooks & brings all sorts of gourmet goodies?
Or a spur-of-the-moment, bring anything that's easy sort of girl?
Do you pack light, space-saving, pre-packaged foods like MJ's backpacking meals,
or do you bring all sorts of canned soup, cheese, and baking ingredients?

Jen, I have an American Harvest. I didn't buy it. Funny story how we got it. One day while Jim was at work at the U two policemen came into the department and wanted to know if anyone needed dehydrators?They were confiscated in a marijuana bust! Jim put one in the lab for drying mushroom specimans and one for home. There were "crumbs" of the plants in the bottom. You'll want a dehydrator with a fan, temperature control and the hightest wattage. The fan and wattage quicken the drying time. JoAnn |

Neat, JoAnn! I'm in the market for a dehydrator in the near future - what kind do you have/recommend?

I dried two more things for Jim's backpacking trip. Spagetti sauce with Italian sausage and Voyeager's Wild Rice. I use to do hamberger jerky but Jim seems to like the meals the best. JoAnn |

Jim is going with his friend backpacking in the Crazy Mountains. Last night I made red beans and rice and decided to dehydrate the rest for him to take. Dried down quite nicely. There was a woman I always demonstrated and sold dehydraters at the MN state fair. She said she keeps a dehydrater going all the time and any time she has leftovers will dry them for camping trips etc. JoAnn |

I definatly vote for MaryJanes's food for my next camping trip. With a water pump you can carry so much less weight than pre-prepared food and her meals taste so much better than what I could ever pack in on my own. I love eating oatmeal when I am camping. It gives such a filling breakfast and a great burst of energy. But if I pack in my own it is going to be "just the plain stuff". However MaryJane makes a couple of hot breakfast cereals that I _love_.
Now I am in a camping mood :) Too bad my tent is not up for rainy weather...
