[pct-l] dehydrating veggies

[Shauna]

I make all my own backpacking food and do a lot of dehydrating.

They will keep for a very long time.  Get them good and dry and if you are
really worried about it you can always store them in the freezer until it's
time to put them in their boxes.  I would guess that they are good for
years if kept dry.

I have found dehydrated cabbage to be surprisingly nice when added to
things like dehydrated fried rice.

>I'd like to talk to someone who has some experience dehydrating their own veggies.  I ventured into this world a few months ago, but I'm a little concerned about spoilage.  e.g. if I start to dehydrate for an '08 thru-hike soon, will the veggies spoil by then?  What are some tips?  etc.
