I do a lot of long term dehydrating. I got a recipe for dehydrating hamburger off of the endtimesreport(dot)com. They call it hamburger rocks. I (bag) vacuum seal it or put it in a mason jar and vacuum seal it. They say it will keep for years that way. The youtuber yankeeprepper did a vid on dehydrating large piece of very lean meat and then slicing it very thin and then vacuum seal it.

Cool vid! Thank you for the info.

@BitterHouse That is sheer genius. I thought about the weighing but standardizing the water+bag for later, that's awesome

I have tried a few ideas this was one of them. It did work, and it extended the life of the cheese greatly, another experiment we tried a few years ago. Only problem we had was when on the trail the wax melted and made a heck of a mess LOL. We stick to the cheese packets we get from MRE's I get a steady supply because of my military background and I have a group of boy-scouts in the area that love the things and the jalapeno cheese spread works great for the recipe

Have you thought about doing this for your cheese?

Take cheese out of wrapper. Dip in hot parraffin, let cool and dry, then dip again.

Do this at least 4 times . 5 times is better.

If the wax, should become chipped at any time , just redip. Store on shelf in cool dark place. Turn every once in a while.

Will keep almost forever.

Simply cut into usable pieces - slip a small flat hand held grater into your pack and enjoy some fresh cheese on those burritos!!

[NCHiker1970]

we have made our own burritos for the trail, dehydrated refried beans, salsa, and onions. The squeeze cheese in the packets is the only cheeses we have been able to carry.

[NCHiker1970]

we have been doing this for years now. We have the ziplock containers that we place in a pot cozy and then place it in the side pocket wrapped in a bandana. Within 4 hours its read to go with just a little heating. Another thing we do is smash up all our beans before dehydrating because they become the hardest part to rehydrate somethimes. Its fun experimenting with a dehydrater and making your own meal ideas!

If you weigh the chili before and after you dry it, the difference is the amount of water lost.
