Here's a good website to save to favorites; I haven't had a chance to try many of these out yet, but the recipes look good (at the very least, if they don't taste better, they're certainly cheaper than store bought backpacker's meals!):

Lots of great ideas on the site, just explore all the links on the left. I have cooked and dehydrated a couple of pounds of ground beef according to their directions, just to see how it would hold up. I live where it's warm, and I did NOT freeze the beef gravel, as the site suggests. It's been just fine in a freezer bag in the cupboard. I'm saving it for a paddling / camping trip in November, where I can use it for spaghetti sauce or shepard's pie, or I can make some chili. Not sure yet.

This site really motivated me to work the dehydrator a little harder than usual. I've saved plenty of fruits and veggies from certain rot by slicing, dicing and dehydrating them for later use.

My only questions is how viable these freezer bag pouches will be for long term storage / emergency supplies. I imagine they'd be better if I had a vacuum sealer thingy, but I so far the bags are holding up.
