    Default Just an introduction to the group!

    I'm so glad I found this forum! I was listening to The Power Hour, and the guest lead me to this forum.
    I have long been interested in the natural foods outside our windows, although I live in the city. I see lots of wild plants while walking, and could not name them. I'm here to learn!
    If I have picked the wrong part of the forum to post I'll add to the General Emergency Prepardness thread!
    I have been dehydrating fruits, and vegetables from the farmers market for the last few Summers so I can get fresh during the Winter when the prices really go up. Now that the price of food is going up along with the gas I have been working on dehydrating my own hamburger I get organic from the Carvers Knife fresh from the farmers in my area. In case anyone is interested in the hamburger dehydrating I'm doing:
    I cook the hamburger and leave the meat no bigger that your baby nail, and smaller. When I'm done with that I run the pot full of hamburger under hot water in my sink until I see no oil whatsoever in the meat. I then put it into my hydrator for 12 hours to make sure it's really done ..rock hard! I either put it in heavy plastic ziplock bags, or a jar for saving..good for at least five years. If you have to bug out, it's very light to carry! I'm now working on dehydrating chicken. Yes, it's some work, but as the prices go up, I have what protein I will need to add to other things. Anyone else have any good ideas on dehydrating?

    One suggestion is to hide it from the kids, or it won't last a week!

    Hello Louise, I am 9/11 birthdate too. Welcome to WSF. To be honest, I would rather chew rubber than dehyd meats, I have tried them, home and commercial made, just do not like em re-conned. Well, catch ya around the board....Oh and hey.... watch out for that Rick guy, he is kind of shifty.......

    Hunter63, saying, Hey, and Welcome.
    I guess I would have never thought about dehydrating hambuger, have made a lot of different kinds of jerky, some even sorta processed thru a roller that kinda made it like hambuger.
    Intresting, thanks.

    I moved you to the Introduction section since it was kind of an Introduction. We have a lot of threads on dehydrating. Use the Search function at the top of the page and you'll get page after page of dehydrating threads. The same is true with wild edibles.

    Welcome to Camp! Just curious, what led you to this Forum? Some guy on a radio broadcast? Cool!
