Have a 6 night permit and we never take dehy food. We’ve learned something we always fish late and are cooking in the dark. So we thought we would bring some dehy foods with. I looked at Cache Lake, camp chow. Blah blah blah. Any recommendations we’re gonna to do 2 dehy towards the end of our trip. I’m a foodie I am lost with this stuff any recommendations we will take.

Pack it Gourmet is the best I’ve tasted.

Food dehydrator. Kevin Outdoors has some great recipes (you tube videos and a cookbook).

Agree, if you identify as a foodie you definitely won’t regret time spent dehydrating at home to prepare for a trip.

We especially like drying nice farmer’s market veggies like tomatoes, portobellos, kale, etc, to add to simple pasta and rice dishes. Hard cheeses, cured meats, good spices, soy sauce, olive oil, vinegars, sea salt…all can make simple dehydrated meals extra delicious.

Don’t forget to find some “hand parched” wild rice on the way up. Nothing better in the woods.

Good-to-Go makes some excellent stuff, especially the Thai Curry. You can get them at REI and Midwest Mountaineering here in MN.

+1 on PackitGourmet.

Also Trailtopia, Bushka's Kitchen and Pinnacle Foods.

I think these are all Freeze-dried, which reconstitutes much faster than dehydrated.

We cook at 4 or 5pm to leave enough time for evening fishing and cocktails after dark.

Take a look at Peak Refuel meals and Next Mile meals. More expensive, but I do like them. Next Mile really ups the calorie count, if you are doing long travel days. I also like Backpacker Pantry Granola for breakfast.

Cannot beat Cache Lake deserts if you tend to bring those.

Not sure why you don't like Camp Chow. Our group has found it a lot tastier then the stuff you find at Cabellas and the typical backpacking brands. Serving sizes are larger as well. On top of that, you are supporting a BWCA small business, Trail Center Lodge

There's a thread in the food forum listing people's favorites that you might look at. I like most of the Food for the Sole stuff. Some Hawk Vittles.

I agree with this 100%. A dehydrator is not expensive and even simple home made and dehydrated meals beat the pants off commercial stuff. Some of my favorites are any combination of rice, beans, and veggies; meat and veggies added to gravy mix w/ instant potatoes; and any pasta with tomato sauce. All really easy.
