"I dry my own vegetables at home AFTER cooking and chopping into small
pieces with a food processor. - nosirreeb"

"Have you done this for a thru-hike's worth of food & how much of a time
commitment was that before the trail? - Paul"

No, not yet, just for shorter hikes.

Example: 120 day thruhike with the equivalent of one cup of fresh veggies per day is about 8-10 gallons fresh (depending on waste), about 4 gallons dried. One would have to do it in small batches dependent on the size/speed of the dehydrator. It would be a substantial undertaking, for sure, but IMO doable if one has the desire and the motivation.
