Learn to make lightweight, healthy backpacking meals with store items, a dehydrator & vacuum sealer with a seasoned hiker.
In this class, students will learn how to make backpacking meals using grocery items, food dehydrators and a vacuum sealer. Jennifer will provide tips and tricks for preparing these meals at home and serving them on the trail.
She started preparing her own dehydrated backpacking meals because she wanted them to be lightweight/low volume, easy to prepare (she just adds boiling water and waits), and healthy (less sodium, more vegetables, enough protein). As a backpacker who’s not getting any younger, Jennifer’s pack needs to be as light as she can make it and personalized nutrition helps keep her going. Come learn from what she’s learned!
About the instructor, Jennifer Belk: Jennifer has been an avid backpacker most of her adult life. She makes both solo and group trips into various PNW wilderness areas.
