    Rather than dry each ingredient individually, could you not prepare all from home and then dry and package up?

      Hi, Brenda. There are two ways to prepare dehydrated backpacking meals: when you make the meal, by assembling the powdered and/or dried ingredients or
      by cooking the entire meal first, then dehydrating it. Please read our guide for dehydrating whole meals and leftovers here: http://www.trail.recipes/blog/dehydrating123-how-to-dehydrate-whole-meals-and-leftovers/
