Hey man, just got a reply after commentating on your last vid that seemed like a scam or other malicious bull poop. Here is the screen shot of the response to my comment.
Naomi is so cute! I love involving my 13 yo daughter in my cooking. Yep, it often takes longer, but "teachable moments" like this are essential for our kiddos future!
*Probably one of the many reasons why you are so trust among us preppers is because you have never tried to push cheapy inferior products on us. Only the best products, knowledge & intel from you. Thank you deeply for all you do & truly tell each family member that I say "Thank you for your sacrifice in allowing Nate to do what he does for complete strangers."* *Liberty = Peace & I pray that you & your loved ones always enjoy both!*
"Why am I only in one video?" LOL Watch out Dad, she's going to take over the show and be a star!!! This was a great video, brightened my day for sure!!
Nate your daughter's absolutely adorable she stole the show I've never laughed so hard I can't wait to get my freeze dryer should be getting it in the next few months I'm so excited thank you Nate for the video it was awesome God bless
That was awesome to see your daughter getting in to it. I remember watching an episode of I think it was Yukon Vet. Her husband was showing their three daughters how to do something outside and the one daughter said that their dad was teaching them how not to be useless. Something that I try to instill into my two daughters.
OMG, Nate, she is precious. I child who admits to not liking very many foods and she's willing to tell you all about it! Then she imitates your gestures. A-dor-able! I have wanted a Harvest Right for some time, but it just does not fit in my budget. And, truly I don't really NEED it. Thank you for this video!
Naomi is precious! She loves her daddy. I’m 55 yrs old and still a daddy’s girl 😊 My father is a wonderful man, kind, caring, loving. He has taught me so much. I truly believe the sweet pure love of a good father makes for a strong confident Levelheaded daughter. 🥰👍🏼
I have been freeze drying breakfast skillets using eggs from my chickens, potatoes and onions from my garden and ground sausage from the store. Almost free, and I produce 80 percent of the ingredients myself! Great video Nate!
Nate, I am so glad to see a video that will actually help preppers instead of all the drama that has been the focus of your channel for quite awhile. I really miss all your prepping videos.
Honestly though.. if you don’t have a freeze dryer, dehydrating bananas is the cheapest, most accessible prepping thing for anyone to start doing. The resulting product is a sweet, nutritious snack and has a satisfying chewy texture!
So nice to see Tamra - the friendly and always helpful voice I’ve spoken to on the phone. :) Great job Naomi! You did an awesome job working with your Dad!
I love these prepping how to videos. I’ve been following your channel for many years and your down to earth approach, how-to videos, and gear comparisons/excursions are some of the best. Thanks for doing what you do
So nice to get a quick glimpse of you and your family. I have had my HR since March and I love it. Still putting the peddle to the metal on individual foods, but I'm about ready to start making meals. For anyone who is wondering, it is so worth the investment. You can freeze dry leftovers, extra veggies from the garden. You will recoup your cost just on waste prevention alone pretty quick. Thanks CP, more videos like this please.
Great video... Lots of information. Thanks !! One tip on the oxygen absorbers.. (Most seasoned preppers probably know this... ) The oxygen absorbers start to work the SECOND you open the package! So you don't want the package open any longer than possible, or else by the time you get half way thru the pack, they will be "dead" and won't work anymore. ( I learned this from experience...) I put all my dried food in the mylar bags, have them all lined up and open. THEN I open my package of oxy absorbers, quickly drop 1 in each bag, then seal my oxygen absorber package up again. If you're using ziploc mylar bags, you can quickly zip them shut, THEN go back and heat seal each bag, for maximum shelf life. (Some times the ziploc seal leaks a little.)
Please do more of these videos. Positive and light-hearted. Informative and educational. I understand the importance of staying updated on the negative current events but it’s good to have a break from the demoralizing reality once in a while.
Precious moments with your child, She is very precious, I love these teaching moments that we, as family can spend with our kids and grandchildren. I especially enjoyed, her last comment, how come I'm only in one video? LOL. I have been following your videos and have purchased a Freeze dryer this year. The feeling of being prepared is so much better than the feeling of being unprepared. Thank you for your many insights, and suggestions for preparedness. Keep up the good work, Nate.
You had a very good helper today. And you are correct, if a child will eat it and say it's pretty good, then as an adult, we know it will taste good. Be sure to tell your little assistant that she was a wonderful helper on this video.
I've watched most preppers and I've got to say canadian prepper is by far the best for information in all aspects . It's nice to see a prepper home in on preparing food for storage, growing food for stability and also homing in on real life problems that we will face in the near future. Keep up the good work man seriously because we need level heads giving information at critical times👏💚
I LOVE my Harvest Right freeze-dryer!! I was using a regular dehydrator, and it’s great for some items, but more like raisins and jerky. The freeze dryer preserves the shape and texture, and I love that it comes with the bags and oxygen absorber packs, AND the heat sealer!! I like that you can eat the freeze dried foods without adding water if you want, also. Awesome!!
I've been running my freeze dryer continuous. My goal is two years of good eating if it hits the fan. Otherwise,,,my camper is well stocked for travels. The freeze dryer is expensive,,,but well worth the investment.
Naomi will be a star. Great recipe. Good work Tamara. Nate, make sure you get a bucket under that drain, you will get a couple of quarts of water on the floor. And empty the bucket before next time-- or the water gets sucked into the machine if the tube is in the water. If buying a machine, Nate's is old like mine. The new software tries to optimize the freezing and drying times. It is easier. I don't mind my old one....I can overdry.
Very nice. Now you inform us and give us advice how to do and give us hope. Perfect. Thank you. And Naomi is not just very cute but a pro in supporting her dad. I love it! Best wishes keep the good work
Naomi is a very good "gray girl". One minute she is there making me laugh and then poof. She's gone. Then she is back making me laugh again. You are a wonderful parent. Teaching her and letting her help. God bless you and your family.
We can the old way. Pressure can our meats. And can our veggies. Nothing wrong with the old way. Keep it up. Someday we would like a freeze drier as well. But for now we use what works.
I bought the cheapest dehydrater I could find. It's been fun experimenting and then using the dry foods in my cooking. It's a perfectly fine way to preserve food.
My wife and children have celiacs so much of the freeze dried food out there they cannot eat and that is why I am trying to convince her that we should get our own machine, because it will be worth it. If we had bought one when I 1st suggested it and we had done up one or two chickens a week with the price increases and Justinflation that would have more than paid for itself.🐔 We are even think of getting together with some family to share one. Everyone Take Care~eh
I beg to differ a bit on the dehydrating. I can't afford a freeze dryer but I've got a dehydrator. I expriemented with different veggies and I eventually came up with.... what do we eat that doesn't store well? I've dehydrated broccoli, mushrooms, peas, corn and I guess any veg that you like. I'll be honest: I'm really happy with the broccoli, spinach, bell peppers, garlic...etc. I've tried rehydrating them all and they turn out great. Try it, you won't be disappointed. And I love this video!!!
A new star is born, good job Naomi!! I loved how she just dumped the cup into the bag, and I was thinking it's gonna go all over the place lol! Informative video Nate, excellent planning for this one!
I have a Harvest Right freeze dryer. I freeze dry apricot halves and they come out awesome. When you freeze dry fruit it intensifies the flavor. The only catch with fruit is the skin either has to be peeled off or the fruit cut in half and skins facing down.
i have been watching so many videos on freeze drying and wish I could afford one after 2 yrs of on again off again employment ( or should i say unemployment.) Storing,pressure canning and dehydrating everything we possibly can. We are seniors in northern Ontario and would really love to win this lovely machine. Things and times are tough; love your channel
Naomi is the cutest little prepper ever!! I have a Harvest Right waiting to be shipped. Trying to get moved into the new house and it's taking forever!! I can't wait to use it and let me say I LOVE eggs!
Ahh, buddy she’s wonderful! Tell her she is a natural born youtuber and the best assistant in the WORLD! Thats why I started prepping..future didnt matter as much until I was blessed with a daughter to protect!
Well FINALLY the production quality of the video is on point!!! Lol. The small human just made the video AWSOME!!! Lol. That’s so cool dude for you to have your little girl in the video truly helping out. She asked the tough questions and brought out the interesting aspects of freeze drying. Lol. Excellent! Lol. “And how much does that machine cost and why am I in ONLY one video!” Lol. Dude I was rolling! Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work. Fight the good fight. 👊🏾🤣🤣🤣
I bought a re-manufactured unit. Saved a ton and its got the same warranty. Has one blemish, a scratch in the paint on the front. Will be using appliance paint to deal with it tomorrow. In the meantime Im running the thing each day since I got it. Steaks, chicken, spaghetti, vegetables... it all comes out beautifully preserved and tasting great. Still trying to do water though. Cant figure...
Yep a freeze-drier is one of the first things that I have to get once I've bought a block of land in either Victoria, NSW or Tasmania! The daughter is cute and obviously loves to help you Nate. Have a ripper mate!
Good video Nate. I think your daughter brings a real family touch to the video and shows what we're protecting when we prep. I think future involvement will. Be good for the channel too.
Dent corn is ridiculously productive if you get it to harvest. In a tiny 20x5 foot area I got about 5 gallons worth of dent corn kernels. You can use this corn for tortillas and flour, if you nixtamalize it you'll also make it a lot more nutritious.
LOL, more of your kiddos! Precious. As a mamma of 3, I get how distracting it is to get work done with the younger kiddos around. But, when watching someone else's kiddos take the stage, it's perfect!
Really a cute little girl, Nate. Naomi is so willing to help too. Of all the things I fix for the freeze dryer, the most fun is breakfast. Sausage gravy is a good one too, and you can break up baked biscuits into 1/2 inch pieces and put there, before you freeze dry the sausage gravy. You can season the sausage gravy the way you like, as we love cayenne in it. Hash is good too, as well as SOS. You can do French toast too and I would fry them after reconstituting them with a little bit of water. I imagine you can do pancakes if you steamed them to rehydrate. the texture of pancakes would not be as the same though as if you served them fresh. I would think you could do bacon if you fried it well done and then rinsed it off, to get the remainder of the grease off. The grease is the thing that speeds up the spoiling of the product in the Mylar. There is ham chopped, Spam, and any turkey ham or turkey bacon. Oatmeal, that you completely make up, with brown sugar, maple syrup, raisins cut in half, and milk freeze dries wonderfully. So would any of the other hot breakfast cereals. Once you get all the breakfasts done, start on lunch and dinner. What are your favorite lunches? Tuna salad? Remember mayo should not be added before, imho, as it does not freeze dry well, due to the oil in the mayo. However you can freeze dry the other ingredients to the tuna salad. Same with chicken salad. Serve it with homemade bread or homemade crackers. I have never freeze dried bologna, but turkey bologna might be OK, due to the fat. Any ham, would be good, or turkey for sandwiches. You could freeze dry a block of fish the size of a hamburger bun. Then reconstitute it with water and maybe a drop or two of lemon juice, or to taste. Bread it and fry it for a fish sandwich. Cut potatoes into French fry slices and fry them to have with it. Plan out your favorite dinners. Go easy on the cheese, cream, or things with grease. Do you have a garden? Freeze dry zucchini slices, shredded zucchini, or spirals for using as spaghetti. We have freeze dried scorpion peppers to use in a bug spray, or to use as a defense mechanism in a sprayer of some sort. Look up freeze drying on RUclips. You will get lots of people who will give you ideas in what to freeze dry. I have bins that I put the Mylar bags in labeled breakfast, main dishes, soups and stews, veggies, side dishes and miscellaneous. We freeze dry leftover soups, dinners, etc. I did not like one thing freeze dried. That was watermelon. I absolutely love watermelon, but not freeze dried watermelon. We also have desserts, but I can’t remember what is in there but ice cream and candy. We also have fruits. Hope this helps.
Would love to have a freeze drier but am retired on social security. We have a garden but there are 12 of us. I include my extended family in my preps because they don't. I've put up a lot but maybe not enough. Your daughter is a hoot....
Draw fancy diagrams about the economy. I Love It! My daughter is a Math teacher and does statistics. She would appreciate this because graphs are important...
Such a helpful video! I’ve been waiting to see the start to finish freeze dried process and your daughter is SO adorable; I love at the end when she says “why am I only in one video?”💕💕💕
I have simplified this recipe by a ton!!! Cook all the ingredients and mix in one huge bowl. Divide into the 4-5 FD pans and freeze an d put in FD. Not sure why everyone does individual pans/ingredients.
Heck yeah thank you for sharing it's good to teach your young ones too I teach my grandkids although they're still kind of young but they're learning always be prepared
Your daughter is a great helper. 👍 I love that you include her in the process. I 💯 LOVE my HRFD. It's a great storage plan and I have forgotten how hard canning is lol!

I love that machine
Hey man, just got a reply after commentating on your last vid that seemed like a scam or other malicious bull poop. Here is the screen shot of the response to my comment.
Thank u!
The taste is more important than nutrition 😂😂
Naomi completely stole the show. I don't laugh much during your videos normally but she had me in stitches. More of these please!
Put that Angel on the payroll! Shes super cute.
Naomi is so cute! I love involving my 13 yo daughter in my cooking. Yep, it often takes longer, but "teachable moments" like this are essential for our kiddos future!
scam
Hook em when they're young!
My heart melted when she came around that corner with her arms all open lol
Absolutely, its best to teach them right from very young and make them into skilled, independent individuals ready to take over when we retire.
*Probably one of the many reasons why you are so trust among us preppers is because you have never tried to push cheapy inferior products on us. Only the best products, knowledge & intel from you. Thank you deeply for all you do & truly tell each family member that I say "Thank you for your sacrifice in allowing Nate to do what he does for complete strangers."*
*Liberty = Peace & I pray that you & your loved ones always enjoy both!*
Your daughter is a gem♥️. I totally lost it when you were talking costs and she asked how much the FD was. One of your best videos yet!
Nate!! This is such a positive video with Naomi in contrast to the ones you've making recently. Loved it so much! You're such a great dad!
Great to see getting the family into the action. A family that preps together, survives together ❤️
"Why am I only in one video?" LOL Watch out Dad, she's going to take over the show and be a star!!!
This was a great video, brightened my day for sure!!
Love the incorporation of your daughter and would love to win that harvest freeze dryer
Nate your daughter's absolutely adorable she stole the show I've never laughed so hard I can't wait to get my freeze dryer should be getting it in the next few months I'm so excited thank you Nate for the video it was awesome God bless

Awesome video! Naomi did a great job. She clearly loves helping and learning from Dad!
I love my Harvest Right Freeze Dryer. I’ve had mine for about 10 months now.
She’s adorable! Good job teaching her all the ways to be self reliant dad!
Nate, I am so glad to see a video that will actually help preppers instead of all the drama that has been the focus of your channel for quite awhile. I really miss all your prepping videos.
What a great helper and your such a great teacher! You all are an amazing team!😊
Honestly though.. if you don’t have a freeze dryer, dehydrating bananas is the cheapest, most accessible prepping thing for anyone to start doing. The resulting product is a sweet, nutritious snack and has a satisfying chewy texture!
how is that done?
Absolutely, but they only last a few months
Bur Organic! The taste is amazing!
I have a dehydrator, I have got to try this soon. After that it's mylar and oxygen absorbers!
That's true, bananas are fairly nutritious and they're gonna be impossible to get if supply lines are cut.
Its nice to see you involving the family and staff, it adds something that we don't normally get to see in your videos.
That’s adorable that you put your daughter in the videos. I’m surprised it’s taken so long. You seem like a great dad
So nice to see Tamra - the friendly and always helpful voice I’ve spoken to on the phone. :)
Great job Naomi! You did an awesome job working with your Dad!
I have really enjoyed seeing the workers from CP The unseen force moving the background for the forefront.
I love these prepping how to videos. I’ve been following your channel for many years and your down to earth approach, how-to videos, and gear comparisons/excursions are some of the best. Thanks for doing what you do
Love the little helper, working together, made me smile.
So nice to get a quick glimpse of you and your family. I have had my HR since March and I love it. Still putting the peddle to the metal on individual foods, but I'm about ready to start making meals. For anyone who is wondering, it is so worth the investment. You can freeze dry leftovers, extra veggies from the garden. You will recoup your cost just on waste prevention alone pretty quick. Thanks CP, more videos like this please.
She'll have her own prepper Channel in the next 10 years 100%, great Video, I learnt alot!!
!! Naomis, complete honesty sold me, 5 out 9 any-day !! Thank You !!
Great video... Lots of information. Thanks !!
One tip on the oxygen absorbers.. (Most seasoned preppers probably know this... ) The oxygen absorbers start to work the SECOND you open the package! So you don't want the package open any longer than possible, or else by the time you get half way thru the pack, they will be "dead" and won't work anymore. ( I learned this from experience...)

Seeing you as a dad is awesome ... great video.
Please do more of these videos. Positive and light-hearted. Informative and educational. I understand the importance of staying updated on the negative current events but it’s good to have a break from the demoralizing reality once in a while.
Precious moments with your child, She is very precious, I love these teaching moments that we, as family can spend with our kids and grandchildren.
I especially enjoyed, her last comment, how come I'm only in one video? LOL.

You had a very good helper today. And you are correct, if a child will eat it and say it's pretty good, then as an adult, we know it will taste good. Be sure to tell your little assistant that she was a wonderful helper on this video.
The kid is adorable also remember seeing the wife before a long time ago. Seeing family is nice especially as starting to prep and have children.
I've watched most preppers and I've got to say canadian prepper is by far the best for information in all aspects .
It's nice to see a prepper home in on preparing food for storage, growing food for stability and also homing in on real life problems that we will face in the near future.
Keep up the good work man seriously because we need level heads giving information at critical times👏💚
Loved it when Naomi said why am I only in one video?!!! She is so adorable & a great helper! Give Tamara a thumbs up too!
I LOVE my Harvest Right freeze-dryer!! I was using a regular dehydrator, and it’s great for some items, but more like raisins and jerky.

I've been running my freeze dryer continuous. My goal is two years of good eating if it hits the fan. Otherwise,,,my camper is well stocked for travels. The freeze dryer is expensive,,,but well worth the investment.
Nice to see your little helper included in video. ❤
Naomi will be a star. Great recipe. Good work Tamara.
Nate, make sure you get a bucket under that drain, you will get a couple of quarts of water on the floor. And empty the bucket before next time-- or the water gets sucked into the machine if the tube is in the water.
If buying a machine, Nate's is old like mine. The new software tries to optimize the freezing and drying times. It is easier. I don't mind my old one....I can overdry.
This video was so much fun with your great improvised helper!!!
Congratulations!
Your daughter was great! Notice she watched you taste it first, smart girl. It was good to see the freeze drying procedure.
Glad to see you getting your family involved. Really shows a family side of prepping that most people don't see.
What a doll, thank you for helping us Naomi learn what your dad is making
Love to watch a strong man raise a confident daughter. Kudos, sir.
Your daughter so precious many blessings to you and your family.. this is down right after all these years my most favorite video of all time s
I just my freeze dryer yesterday after 8 weeks of waiting. I am excited to finally have this as part of my arsenal.
Very nice. Now you inform us and give us advice how to do and give us hope. Perfect. Thank you. And Naomi is not just very cute but a pro in supporting her dad. I love it! Best wishes keep the good work
Tamra is always helpful. Nice to see her in the video.
Naomi is a very good "gray girl". One minute she is there making me laugh and then poof. She's gone. Then she is back making me laugh again. You are a wonderful parent. Teaching her and letting her help. God bless you and your family.
I wish a freeze drier was in my budget. Oh well, I guess I'll have to stick with more old fashioned ways of preserving food. 😁
We were tossing up between the freeze dryer and a dehydrator.. we went with the dehydrator and vacuum sealed our food...
We can the old way. Pressure can our meats. And can our veggies. Nothing wrong with the old way. Keep it up. Someday we would like a freeze drier as well. But for now we use what works.
I bought the cheapest dehydrater I could find. It's been fun experimenting and then using the dry foods in my cooking. It's a perfectly fine way to preserve food.
I am not worrying about this either. Ridiculous
same.
My wife and children have celiacs so much of the freeze dried food out there they cannot eat and that is why I am trying to convince her that we should get our own machine, because it will be worth it. If we had bought one when I 1st suggested it and we had done up one or two chickens a week with the price increases and Justinflation that would have more than paid for itself.🐔
We are even think of getting together with some family to share one.
Everyone Take Care~eh
Then get the large for sure.
@@carolb5677 I think you're right.
Your daughter is adorable and such a good helper! She seems smart like her dad.
Kathy from Florida homestead
I beg to differ a bit on the dehydrating. I can't afford a freeze dryer but I've got a dehydrator. I expriemented with different veggies and I eventually came up with.... what do we eat that doesn't store well? I've dehydrated broccoli, mushrooms, peas, corn and I guess any veg that you like. I'll be honest: I'm really happy with the broccoli, spinach, bell peppers, garlic...etc. I've tried rehydrating them all and they turn out great. Try it, you won't be disappointed. And I love this video!!!
great to see how the end result is with this system. You are a very blessed man---your daughter is adorable!
A new star is born, good job Naomi!! I loved how she just dumped the cup into the bag, and I was thinking it's gonna go all over the place lol! Informative video Nate, excellent planning for this one!
You’re really smart. The comparison of the energy usage upfront for freeze drying vs a freezer long term was great.
I have a Harvest Right freeze dryer. I freeze dry apricot halves and they come out awesome. When you freeze dry fruit it intensifies the flavor.
The only catch with fruit is the skin either has to be peeled off or the fruit cut in half and skins facing down.
Your daughter has her honest opions on the food. That alone is a great seller point. A maritime follower.
Another product 95% of people can't afford to buy, but a good freeze dryer tutorial overall.
Maybe if a group of like-minded neighbors got together, you could share the cost of the dryer.
Your little helper is so precious 😊
i have been watching so many videos on freeze drying and wish I could afford one after 2 yrs of on again off again employment ( or should i say unemployment.) Storing,pressure canning and dehydrating everything we possibly can. We are seniors in northern Ontario and would really love to win this lovely machine. Things and times are tough; love your channel
She's adorable Nate. I look forward to seeing her more. An amazing accent to your videos.
Your video just got to another level by including your daughter how sweet is that!
Naomi is the cutest little prepper ever!! I have a Harvest Right waiting to be shipped. Trying to get moved into the new house and it's taking forever!! I can't wait to use it and let me say I LOVE eggs!
Ahh, buddy she’s wonderful! Tell her she is a natural born youtuber and the best assistant in the WORLD!
Thats why I started prepping..future didnt matter as much until I was blessed with a daughter to protect!
Well FINALLY the production quality of the video is on point!!! Lol. The small human just made the video AWSOME!!! Lol.

Got my freeze dryer 2 months ago and it’s been going non stop, thanks for the video
Great video. Great little helper. One suggestion. Hold the bag over the pot so anything that doesn't make into the bag falls back into the pot.
Father of the Apocalypse!! I wish! Ive been saving food for past year, reloading, ecoflow, solar.. Im in lil apartment. Doing my best. Thank you
Had to like just because of your daughter. That’s awesome she helped you out with this one. Keep doing what you guys do!
Appreciate your audience For supporting... I’ll share with you some beneficial insights! Send a direct message to the above number👆
I bought a re-manufactured unit. Saved a ton and its got the same warranty. Has one blemish, a scratch in the paint on the front. Will be using appliance paint to deal with it tomorrow. In the meantime Im running the thing each day since I got it. Steaks, chicken, spaghetti, vegetables... it all comes out beautifully preserved and tasting great. Still trying to do water though. Cant figure...
Yep a freeze-drier is one of the first things that I have to get once I've bought a block of land in either Victoria, NSW or Tasmania!
The daughter is cute and obviously loves to help you Nate.
Have a ripper mate!
Good video Nate. I think your daughter brings a real family touch to the video and shows what we're protecting when we prep. I think future involvement will. Be good for the channel too.
That would be really nice to have these days. Wish it was more affordable. Thank you for the video.
Dent corn is ridiculously productive if you get it to harvest. In a tiny 20x5 foot area I got about 5 gallons worth of dent corn kernels. You can use this corn for tortillas and flour, if you nixtamalize it you'll also make it a lot more nutritious.
your daughter is so adorable and a wonderful little prepper too.
high five to Naomi for being a great hostess :) and for a fussy eater a 5/9 seems like a pretty good score lol
Love my freeze dryer. We freeze dry all out garden veggies as well as various meats. Great investment for prepping
Your able assistant kind of stole the show ! Fun fun. The freeze dried food came out hot ! Surprise surprise too me. Thanks.
There are two replies. I am unable to see either.
Thanks for you and your helper educating me on the freeze drying process
What a blessing not to wake to an end of the world video. Your little girl is lovely, what a star!
LOL, more of your kiddos! Precious. As a mamma of 3, I get how distracting it is to get work done with the younger kiddos around. But, when watching someone else's kiddos take the stage, it's perfect!

I imagine you can do pancakes if you steamed them to rehydrate. the texture of pancakes would not be as the same though as if you served them fresh. I would think you could do bacon if you fried it well done and then rinsed it off, to get the remainder of the grease off. The grease is the thing that speeds up the spoiling of the product in the Mylar. There is ham chopped, Spam, and any turkey ham or turkey bacon. Oatmeal, that you completely make up, with brown sugar, maple syrup, raisins cut in half, and milk freeze dries wonderfully. So would any of the other hot breakfast cereals. Once you get all the breakfasts done, start on lunch and dinner. What are your favorite lunches? Tuna salad? Remember mayo should not be added before, imho, as it does not freeze dry well, due to the oil in the mayo. However you can freeze dry the other ingredients to the tuna salad. Same with chicken salad. Serve it with homemade bread or homemade crackers. I have never freeze dried bologna, but turkey bologna might be OK, due to the fat. Any ham, would be good, or turkey for sandwiches. You could freeze dry a block of fish the size of a hamburger bun. Then reconstitute it with water and maybe a drop or two of lemon juice, or to taste. Bread it and fry it for a fish sandwich. Cut potatoes into French fry slices and fry them to have with it. Plan out your favorite dinners. Go easy on the cheese, cream, or things with grease. Do you have a garden? Freeze dry zucchini slices, shredded zucchini, or spirals for using as spaghetti. We have freeze dried scorpion peppers to use in a bug spray, or to use as a defense mechanism in a sprayer of some sort. Look up freeze drying on RUclips. You will get lots of people who will give you ideas in what to freeze dry. I have bins that I put the Mylar bags in labeled breakfast, main dishes, soups and stews, veggies, side dishes and miscellaneous. We freeze dry leftover soups, dinners, etc. I did not like one thing freeze dried. That was watermelon. I absolutely love watermelon, but not freeze dried watermelon. We also have desserts, but I can’t remember what is in there but ice cream and candy. We also have fruits. Hope this helps.
Would love to have a freeze drier but am retired on social security. We have a garden but there are 12 of us. I include my extended family in my preps because they don't. I've put up a lot but maybe not enough. Your daughter is a hoot....
Draw fancy diagrams about the economy. I Love It! My daughter is a Math teacher and does statistics. She would appreciate this because graphs are important...
Such a helpful video! I’ve been waiting to see the start to finish freeze dried process and your daughter is SO adorable; I love at the end when she says “why am I only in one video?”💕💕💕
Owning one of these machines is 100% not necessary for prepping and surviving but man is it awesome! Would love to have one.
She is adorable! If a picky eater likes it, it's really good.
I have been stocking up on everything. Food , ammo. There are a lot of stores that have many bare shelves.
A good tip for the freeze dryer, to use to vacuum out then seal the Mylar bags . You need to remove the trays cube first and reverse the pressure
You Daughter is adorable. She is a great helper.
I have simplified this recipe by a ton!!! Cook all the ingredients and mix in one huge bowl. Divide into the 4-5 FD pans and freeze an d put in FD. Not sure why everyone does individual pans/ingredients.
Children..... the best and most honest critics ever. Great video Nate and Naomie.
Heck yeah thank you for sharing it's good to teach your young ones too I teach my grandkids although they're still kind of young but they're learning always be prepared
Your daughter is a great helper. 👍 I love that you include her in the process. I 💯 LOVE my HRFD. It's a great storage plan and I have forgotten how hard canning is lol!
