  • Commercial dehydrated meals are at least $10 in Australia for something only just edible.

    Your channel is a winner, and I have a feeling that your portion sizes are similar to mine. :)

  • Recently a chef friend showed me his powdered olive oil. He uses tapioca maltodextrin. If you like to add some fat to your meals, give it a try.

  • how can you do this in the oven?

  • @dserum06 Put your spaghetti on a cookie sheet lined with some parchment paper in the middle of the oven. Set the ovens temp to 160F and leave to door slightly cracked. Rotate your cookie sheet 90 degrees every 2 hours. At the halfway point flip your spaghetti over. You should be finished in about 18 - 20 hours.

  • Thank you for sharing this! Very informative!

  • LOVE your videos! ! ! I’m looking for a dehydrator now... I’ve been told the brand Excalibur is one of the best out there so I’m looking at the model 2500 for 149.99. Can’t wait to get it and start cooking the food that I like! Thank you so much for your great videos and hope to see many more! I AM subscribed to your channel...

  • I need to get a dehydrator and vacuum sealer! Great video!

  • Totally thought that was my phone ringing while watching this. Same ringtone. Great video, but it seems odd to use the aluminum foil if it has no real purpose on the trail. Thanks for the video!

  • Very impressive first episode. You will become a YouTube favorite because of your enthusiasm...your real world solutions and a great delivery. Well Done!

  • Wow man what a great addition to the youtube community. This is hands down the coolest video I've seen in a while.

    Subbed!

  • ....almost forgot......GREAT VIDEO!

  • II'm a rookie at dehydrating and was wondering why you wrapped the food in foil first ?

  • Good stuff

  • Wow fantastic. I subscribed because I saw Tinny of Minibulldesign cook your red bean recipe, and have been hooked here for the last few hours watching your videos. Thank you so much, and keep on making the videos! Kudos and karma from the UK :-)

  • awesome video

  • Great video. Thanks

  • What's the advantage of putting the dehydrated food inside a foil pouch (or in Mylar, for that matter)?

  • @WetBryum The foil keeps light away from the food. For long term storage, light will contribute to your food going bad. Plus, the foil acts as a second layer and can help maintain the seal on the meals.

  • what about deserts? like cake??

  • @steeleninja3 I'm working on those. We will definitely have pies in future episodes.

  • This is really helpful mate! Thankyou!

    You wouldn't by any chance come in a smaller practical size to stuff in my ear and have you help me understand cooking receipts would you? :¨p

    Keep em coming

  • Awesome video! Subscribed!! Would love to see more meal vids.

  • now how does the spaghetti rehydrate? is it hard, soft, watter logged, or like it has just been cooked?

  • @Delta8559272 If you do it right, It rehydrates like it's just been cooked. About 1/2 inch over usually does the trick.

  • @MrBabelfish5 ok thank you ill have to try it

  • Good stuff! Great vid.

  • The Mountain House stuff is really high quality kit. One thing I enjoy about the hammock community is how much DIY is involved. The meat to pasta ratio in your dish is perfect! The quality of ingredients used is well worth making your own meals. We are not picky eaters but we know what we like. Thanks for the vid! I don't think people know you can home dehydrate or pressure can meat.

  • great vid! we really enjoy preparing our own meals for the trail, too. Saw this vid on Hammock Forums!

  • This is an excellent video !

    Thank you for sharing your knowledge

    .Both wife and i are looking forward to your other vids.

  • excellent idea Mr. Bablefish. Ive been considering buying some of these pre package meals but the price have kept me from buying them.

  • Very cool video. I am looking forward to more in the series!

  • Great job. Really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

  • looks good ha ha ha great vid

  • great video...can't wait for the next episode!!

    that spaghetti looked so good, i may have to invest in a dehydrater and vacuum sealer.

  • Love your foods you take along. Couldn't agree more with your acessment of those freeze-dried food. Even at Walmart they're simply too expensive. Still, I can see myself eating one -- once in a while, out of curiosity, but I think I'd rather have yours.. Thanks for the recipe. Best to ya.

  • awesome video!

  • Good video, the prepackaged meals are not only bland but are also full of sodium and other preservatives. Making your on allows you to also make meals that are much more healthy for you.

  • Excellent video.well done Mr Babelfish5

  • Been on a non-carb and starch diet ....I am gonna go blow it now!!!! Need spaghetti....

    Terrific job!

  • GREAT VIDEO!!!!! I have been wonder how to go about doing just this.

    Thank you for sharing and I hope to see MANY more recipecs.

    Thanks again Pete

  • nice job friend.

  • Congratulations! In under seven minutes you gave a comprehensive and enjoyable demonstration of how to dehyrate and rehydrate a meal. This feat has not been accomplished in under 40 minutes by others who have attempted it. Good editing You did not show food prep and cooking. This is not a cooking video. It is a dehydration/rehydration video. You wisely and correctly assumed the viewer already knew how to prep and cook food.

  • Great Job , I never thought of measuring out 16 oz and dehydrating that size will do that way less stress.

  • Another great vid by the way! :)

  • $6.95 for the MH meal is expensive? In Australia they charge $14-16 for the same thing. The Aussie and US dollar are pretty much on par so who is getting ripped off?

  • great stuff!

  • Great vid! Awesome job and great lookin' meal too :o) *****5/5***** I still like my MH meals though :o)

  • Great first installment!!

  • Most excellent! I like the format you've choosen and definitely looking for more episodes. Little green screening huh? Ha ... very nice pal.

  • Great video. :)
