I recently bought a food dehydrator to prepare fruits and vegetables I will be eating during our climb of Denali this spring. I can’t believe I waited so many years to get one! In a matter of hours I dehydrated all kinds of vegetables. Tonight I re-hyrdrated them as vegetable soup using the GSI Outdoors Fairshare Mug I plan to eat from during the climb. Delicious! An excellent appetizer and great for rehydrating after a long day in the cold!
The Fairshare mug is the perfect size to eat from (4-cups) and has a screw on lid to prevent spills. We’ve outfitted our mugs with the Forty Below Mug Boot (neoprene cozy) to keep our food extra hot.
My ingredients top to bottom: celery, asparagus, red bell peppers, and vegetable boullion. Add boiling water and 10 minutes later the soup is on!
Minor correction – we’ll be taking plastic spoons on our climb, not metal as shown in the photos.

Will each of you bring individual food or you’ll have communal meals?

Breakfast will mostly be individual “just add hot water” foods. I plan to eat a lot of oatmeal and granola for my breakfasts. Lunch and snacks will be cold foods with no cooking or hot water required. Dinner will be a mix of shared and individual meals.

Other things that dry well for soups like that are onions, green onions, mushrooms, and spinach. When I dry corn and peas, I blanch them first, and it seems to help they rehydrate faster.
