Review # 1 was written on 2008-06-01 00:00:00 Mary Kay Parkinson Informative, useful, but could definitely have been far more informative & included more recipes. Instead, this book more or less is making a case that you CAN use dehydrated food on the trail. I would have liked a lot more information on HOW to use dehydrated food

Review # 2 was written on 2018-04-22 00:00:00 Brett Piskorowski This is my goto guide for my dehydrator, he lists more fruits, vegetables, meats, and miscellaneous than other books I ve read on the subject. Also included are tips for setting up for whichever type of trip you re planning for. Some of the recipes can basically be made ahead and used as needed on the trail. The book even includes tips for unexpected events that can occur on the trails. The size of the book makes it really easy to pack. The only suggestion I have for the author is: you CAN dehydrate onions. He s right that if the onions can make you tear for use in the regular ways, they will drive you out of your home dehydrating these onions. So if you need to dehydrate these onions, make sure that your windows are open, you have at least one window fan set to exhaust mode, and you go on an overnight excursion (P.S.: AVOID the neighbors for a while 😉). HOWEVER, any of the Sweet onions can be dehydrated at your home! The only possible problem is the smell makes me hungry while they re dehydrating.
