Brad "the butcher",
How about a good beef jerky recipe?

I have that same dehydrator and it processes about six pounds of fresh deer meat per load. I dry that to around 2-2 1/2 pounds. I tried a lot of home concoctions for wet marinade, but settled on a dry rub marinade with cure from Gander Mountain. I think a lot of other outdoor type stores sell the same brand, " Hi Mountain". It comes in quite a few flavors like hickory, mesquite, cajun, cracked pepper & garlic, and original. It is high in salts, but any jerky cure worth using is. Cost ranges from $6-$9 per package and does about fifteen pounds of raw meat per. I usually stretch it and season 18-20 pounds of meat per package. One of the guys I made jerky for this year wanted more flavor, so I doubled the dosage of the spice packet and used the recipe recommended measure of cure.



The book that comes with the dehydrator is OK, but I bought another book, "Jerky" by A.D. Livingston (ISBN 13:978-1-58574-248-6) and it is jam packed with good recipes and information (and covers beef, venison, fish and fowl). Cover price was $14.95, but I found it discounted.

I really want eggs in the morning. I know there are carriers that allow you to bring some protected. But how long can they stay out unrefridgerated?
 
Carried eggs on short trips in those yellow cases and never had a problem.

If they are farm fresh eggs, chickens sit on them to heat so I don't think heat/spoilage short term will matter.

If it worries you freeze a 1litre bottle and wrap it with the egg container with a space blanket in the center of your pack. I do this with frozen meat on short trips and can eat it on the second evening.
 
in Europe people don't even regrigerate their eggs. They'll last long enough for any backpacking trip as long as they're out of the sun. At least a week or so.
 
just take a pack of lefse and some smoked salmon/tuna for eating on the go, and Dinty Moore cans for dinner. Soup/stew is super easy and has all the right nutrients you need, tons of salt, fat, protein and good carbs.
