Hi all,
Thanks for the responses about dehydrators.  (Chad and I are still waiting 
for some more advice on dehydrated soups/meals!)(I think Rael is probably 
right... dehydrate the things you need and throw them together, maybe 
pre-cook things like beans and noodles.)

Question:  I think I've read of a home-made dehydrator:
-make flat-ish boxes with plywood sides, screen/hardware mesh bottoms, no 
top.
-stack them on top of eachother
-for the bottom one, have holes in the sides, and a lightbulb
-I think the idea is that the bulb heats the air, which flows up through 
your stacked boxes (with fruit on the mesh), and fresh air comes in through 
the bottom holes

Anyone tried something like this?  Sounds like it could be made fairly 
inexpensively - and be simple to fix if anything goes wrong.

Thanks again,
Keegan
