Anyone do much dehydrating? One of my favorite backpacking items is to at home dehydrate the applesauce (actually almost any fruit sauce) then rehydrate with some hot water at breakfast, leave it in a nalgene bottle wrapped up in a koozie, and enjoy a warm treat around lunch time.
For those that do not do much backpacking, when you are carrying everything you will need,. weight becomes an issue. So dehydrating food removes a substantial amount of water weight.
