I Bought a Freeze Dryer - Harvest Right

[Michael]

I never considered myself a "prepper", until a few months ago...
I don't have a freeze dryer, but I do dehydrate some.
The pressure canning is another story. I'm up to three canners now and have them all going on the weekends when I'm home.

I have a couple of pressure canners, as well, and I think they (along with jars and PLENTY of lids) are an important tool to have for emergency preps. If power goes out for an extended time, having a pressure canner will be the best way to preserve perishable foods that might otherwise spoil.

However, I recently saw that pressure canned foods lose about 60% of their nutritional value. [emoji15]

Wish you were closer. I want one of these really awful. I’d be bartering like no ones business.
Had a demo going in my local ace hardware two weeks ago.
I got sticker shock when I saw the price.
I agree with your justification.
In for the videos…..

You can dehydrate eggs in a regular dehydrator. You just need to get the silicon trays with a lip that fits. Let them dry, run them through a food processor until they are powder and dry them again for another hour. I store mine in Mason jars with an oxygen absorber. Keeps for a long time.

I sure didn’t know that. I’ll give it a try

I should have added, whip them up like you are going to scramble them and pour onto the sheets.

Heads up, the affiliate program links you posted aren't working when I click on them. If I'm being honest, this thread came off like a TV infomercial.

But wait, there's more...

I had a feeling that was the case but thank you

interesting. Never got into the canned meats. But will wait to see you eat some.

Really? I posted because I think I’m still trying to justify (in my own mind) spending that kind of money on a product designed to make $10 backpacking meals! LOL!

The affiliate link (approved for my YT channel) should simply send you to the base HR website. Where is it directing you?

I’ve eaten quite a bit of canned meat. It’s not bad. Good for a quick meal.

Water glassed eggs are way better than dehydrated eggs imo. More of a texture thing but to me dehydrated are grainy like sand.

I agree. Canned meat isn’t bad at all when seasoned and canned with onion.

This is the address that fails to open in my browser, exactly as it appears in the address bar...

Ok, thanks. I corrected it in the original. It appeared correctly on my laptop.

The correct link is: https://affiliates.harvestright.com/1514.html

I bought mine used on FB Marketplace, but if anybody wants to buy direct, you can use my affiliate link and maybe I can buy a few extra mylar bags!

I just got one too. Haven't even done the first bread run to clean it out yet. Looking forward to find out what I can do with it.
