Ecology student here, the effects of the onions could be a result of nutrient loss in our food. Fun fact; most of our food, particularly vegetables, have reduced in nutrient density dramatically over the last decades. It is also an effect that is increasing over time. Most of our vegetables have less than 50% of their historic nutrient content , some as much as a 90% reduction. It’s one of the single greatest problems of our time, and the extent of it is largely completely unknown by the general public. Love the vlogs! I can’t wait to get back to Sweden one day soon, and visit the north again!
I realised this with many different kinds of food. Tomatoes that got bigger and bigger but less and less complex in their taste being the most prominent for me. On our premises we have wild raspberries and cultivated ones. The cultivated ones are bigger and taste OK. But the wild ones taste amazing!
Thanks for the inspiration! We did cacio e pepe on our sarek trip. Its just parmesan pasta and black pepper and amazingly good. Parmesan is good since it's pretty dry already.
I got it from Micke and Melli who have been on several tours with us. Probably they tried to give me a message that I’m more good looking if I cover my face… 🤣 /Matti
My energy snacks when hiking consist of a 5oz squeeze tube with bite valve - containing 50% Brown Rice Syrup, 30% Molasses, & 20% Honey - all "natural" sugars. Pre-cooked BACON - bacon anytime, any place, anywhere + I carry 1oz foil packs of peanut butter for the fat. My meals normally are store bought Peak Refuel brand of freeze dried meals. Warm Regards from far away Reno, Nevada, U.S.A.
It’s expensive and several of the brands add stuff that makes it resistant to heat, air, so it solves easily with water and all that chemicals… Thanks for watching! 😃 /Matti
Regarding your question about onions, did you use to wear glasses when they made you cry back in the day? I don't cry from cutting onions when I wear my contact lenses, but whenever I'm not wearing them i cry so much you would think I was heartbroken or something.
That’s a good point because with contact lenses you don’t cry. For me, It makes no difference with or without glasses. It was different back in the old days… /Matti
Matti this is just a thought, but have considered using powdered full fat milk instead of the cream? I think using the powder in a higher concentration would give a similar result in the final dish. Save you a lot of weight also, and potentially a mess if the carton explodes in your bag 👍 It was interesting to see how you prepare for a hike, thanks for the video.😊
I haven’t considered milk powder with fat. That’s a great idea!!! I have considered cream powder that I know some companies are selling… Thanks for good input! /Matti
En jättebra fråga! Jag kör på känn. Ofta sätter jag till lite eftersom. Ibland vill jag ju att det ska bli lite mer soppigt. Man behöver ju ofta vätska så personligen föredrar jag lite blötare. Ju längre det får dra sig eller ju mer man småkokar allt, desto mer vatten absorberar den också. Hoppas mitt luddiga svar gav dig nått iallafall. 🙄 /Matti
I think with the onions it would be different hybrids, had the sting bred out of them lol now when i dehydrate mushrooms they never hydrate well and are always chewy
I agree about the mushrooms. They need to be cutted very thin and stay long time in the dryer. I think they get dry but they still feel little bit soft… /Matti
I forgot that part in the video… ;-) You can make it in different ways. Some have a waterproof thing where they can store it in water during the day while hiking. I prefer to add warm water on it when I arrive to next camp. It’s just good if it can soak water during one hour or something. If there isn’t time for that I keep it warm for 20 min or something. Heat it up, put it away and reheat it etc. I usually prefer to make it more like a soup so I usually add water several times. If I add everything directly it will be to much or to little. I’m not the guy who follows recipes… I just make it. 😃 But it’s really good to give it some time to soak water! I hope I answered some of your questions. /Matti
👋🏻 Jag kan tipsa om ett podcast program som heter MIKE DROP, avsnitt 205, som kanske kan vara intressant för er och lyssna på. Det handlar om en man, Jeff Reid som har tävlat i Iditarod. Han berättar om hur det var att tävla i den, pratar om sina hundar m.m. Ciao
Thanks! You have to bring some chocolate so you get at least the super important the chocolate-vitamins! 🤣 It’s probably not a good idea to eat the dry food all around the year. Then you will be out of vitamins. Thanks for your input! /Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA Thanks. I was actually asking for how long you can keep it in your backpack - is it for a weekend -long trip, or can be treated as supply for a longer expedition, where storing it below zero is not possible? We've been looking for a simple mushroom drier, but it seems we will buy something like your machine, as it opens new possibilities!

Completely with you. Growth is now orientated on sugars

Thank you for your input! When you taste home grown or wild fruits, vegetables, and berries, it's a huge difference in taste as well. /Stina
Really like what you are doing! You come across as a nice person as well.
Thanks!

this was fun spending time with you in the kitchen, thank you Matti!!!
Maybe I should start ‘Matti’s Arctic cooking show’

Everything looks good enough to eat, yum ! I also enjoyed your very wise coffee timeout humor...👍
As long as you are hungry everything is yummy… 😃

yummy 😍
Hi Marta! Hope you're doing well!
I like your T-shirt of the bearded guy paddling.

Top-3 of all your videos! Tnx a million. 🏆
Thanks!
I really was frustrated because I didn’t get the structure at the video as I wanted. …and I didn’t have time to re-make it.

I wish they used tube's for food in America. So convenient.
Looking forward to watching the video of your tour. 😊
This tubes are really easy for outdoor use.
:-)
/Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNAYes they are awesome. I usually bring räkost (shrimp cheese) on tube because it dont need to be cold.
Another excellent video, Matti! Tack!
I totally agree.
Thanks!!!
Tusen tack Matti, very helpful video been exploring alternatives to traditional turmat as I want nicer food.
When you know the basics about drying food… then you can start to experiment and find out some really good recipes.
😃
/Matti
Denne likte jeg veldig godt. Jeg har en sånn dehydrator, men har aldri vært flink til å bruke den. Skal prøve ihvertfall noe av dette :)
Det är kul att torka mat och blir så mycket bättre än påskmaten.
:-)
/Mtti
I love your all content, but this was super useful as I am trying to avoid the easy boil in bag stuff. It is now very expensive anyway.
It’s expensive and several of the brands add stuff that makes it resistant to heat, air, so it solves easily with water and all that chemicals…
Thanks for watching!

Thanks, been trying it myself, but this helps a lot. Only thing that worked are bananna snacks. These recipes I might be able to manage.
Bananas are super good to dry!!!

Hej Matti! Tack för en mycket trevlig kanal! Jag undrar hur mycket vatten tillsätter du när du har torkat köttfärssås?

What kind of porridge do you make...oats, barley (flakes?), or a combination? Thanks, excellent information for backpacking.
Just oats and then some milk, made with milk powder. Sometimes I use blueberrie soup powder or raisins to make it a little bit sweeter.
/Matti
Interesting!
When will 'Matti's' go open? I get hungry even watching the vid! Nomnom and the first🌟for a arctic bistro😊
Arctic bistro in the wild!
😃
/Matti
Matti, You could also vacuum seal the dried food. This saves weight and volume. The food also last a long time.
He is not drying the food for long term storage do that is not needed. Vacuum sealing wont save weight but only space.
Well done. 20:14
excellent.... great and instructive contribution.... are you taking deer meat?
Sometimes we are using reindeer meat. This time we used beef meat and elk meat.
/Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNAhmmm ... yummy.... with berries...
Thank you for this explanation! But how do you prepare the food in the field? Do you need a lot of water and maybe gas to prepare it?
I forgot that part in the video… ;-)

growth of our vegetables is all based on sugars so vitamins etc. slowly disappeared even for 90 % and then as last greetings for Matti and Stina
Thanks!
You have to bring some chocolate so you get at least the super important the chocolate-vitamins!

It’s probably not a good idea to eat the dry food all around the year. Then you will be out of vitamins.
Thanks for your input!

For how long you can store your dried meat?
Very good question!!!
I think that if I pack it with our vacuum machine and store it in the freezer it will be okay for a couple of years!
/Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA Thanks.

I use a lot of onions in my cooking. I seldom have an onion that makes my eyes tear. Most of the onions I buy now are fairly sweet.
Was it the same 20-40 years ago? /Matti
My eyes use to tear 20 -30 years ago.
you must have big cooking pot to boil all this for 4people.
are you mainly using campfires?
We have one pot that’s 2,7 litres and one that’s 3,7 litres. We use a primus gas stove. Spider model with four legs. It’s heavy but stable.
/Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA thank you!
Don't tell the world about Nordic tubeost! It's our dirty little secret!
🤣
Sorry… too late…
/Matti
Är det du som bär all mat åt dina gäster?
He mentioned in the video that each guest carries a bag with the dried food.
What % fat in your ground beef?
15% I think if I remember it right.
Never tried pemmican?
Yes… for my dogs.
;-)
But I have seen several people using that at RUclips. /Matti
/Matti
Please Matti dont cook Oliver. Let‘s stand united against canibalism! 😉
räkost..... hmmmm
Jo…och dessutom är det Max en räka i en tub och den räkan hamnar alltid som en propp i utgångshålet.
🤣
/Matti
yes... better to get it with a refastenable lid... 400g pots...
Matgrädde? Kör på riktig grädde istället så slipper du bära vatten.
Jag ska kills lite närmare på gräddpulver och se hur det funkar.
