I bought a dehydrator and the two recipes that I've put in have dried as advertised and seem super filling (lots of good info on chosing and using a dehydrator too). I made the almond dip and had a hard time putting it all in the machine, I just wanted to eat it. :-) It made a bit less than advertised though (said 4 cups, it just filled my two cup food processor, and yielded 2.5 dried serviings instead of four). The cowboy chili with ground turkey was also dinner last night, and made more than would fit in the machine. I'd add a bit more spice to it next time, despite using hot salsa it was a bit mild. The peanut butter fudge balls were super easy (only have to chill), but we'll see how well they hold up on the trail. I'm going to make the sweet potato and lentil soup to dry, and the get over the pass bars (which only need to be oven baked). Very happy with this book and looking forward to eating very well on the trail.

Good book if you want to learn about dehydrating food for use on the trail. Have not tried the recipes, but the concept seems good and the recipes appear to be OK.
