Recipe: Banana Leather (Flattened Dried Bananas)
While researching our future hike of the Pacific Crest Trail, I kept reading about these flattened dried bananas from Trader Joe’s. Since we aren’t Americans, I couldn’t just go pick some up to try.

Mike Harvests His First Deer: What To Do With All This Meat?
After our deer was gutted, skinned, and allowed to relax overnight in a bath of salted ice water, it was time to do something with it. I drained the water and we set the fan up so that the deer would stay plenty cool, as it was going to take some time to get the

Dehydrating Spinach And Fresh Peaches
As backpacking season is upon us, the gentle whirrr of our food dehydrator can be heard almost around the clock (ok, probably not, but lately it’s going at least 6 hours most days). Right now it’s full of fresh peaches and chopped frozen spinach. So far this season I’ve also done a whole pile
Dehydrated Pears, Apples, Kiwi, Peppers, And Jerky!
The fruit and veggies turned out brilliantly: They were so delicious, I barely had time to take this photos before they were gone! The kiwi was especially interesting, slightly sour but definitely yummy. Since then I have dehydrated celery, mango, peppers, and even some beef jerky! I used this recipe for the beef jerky. After
