Freeze drying

[Cherokee]

I guess I have been reading too many SHTF books lately. I ordered a freeze dryer this week. 8 weeks delivery time so I am trying to learn as much as I can before it gets here.
Any favorite items or recipes, helpful tips, or suggestions?

Interesting, just watched a few YouTubes on it. Seems to be a great way of storing food without needing to keep it frozen or even chilled.

I got a little bit of sticker stock when I searched those too. I've already got a vacuum pump, wonder if I could MacGyver something...
