Pack separately. 3 On the trail, rehydrate the jerky by covering it with 4 cups of water in a water bottle while you hike. 4 When you are ready to cook, mix the water, jerky, and dry ingredients in your cookpot. 5 Bring to a boil for about five minutes. 6 Remove from heat and leave covered for about five more minutes. 7 Enjoy!

About

A quick and hearty dinner that packs light and only requires boiling water to make on the trail. I dry most of these ingredients on a home dehydrator.
