Freeze dryer??

[Erik A]

I have looked into getting a freeze dryer (for food not lumber!) in the past. Any one have experience with one? 

I hope asking this in food is the right place!

I was thinking maybe this should be placed in drying and processing!?  :D

No personal experience, but a YouTube channel I follow called Living Traditions Homestead has a series of videos on freeze drying.  It peaked my interest but it's a bit pricey.  Seems like a great way for long term storage of lots of veggies and fruits.  I was thinking of all the freeze dried stuff I used to take with me on long overnight hikes.  Light weight and reasonably tasty.
