I'm in for that! Sent all three teenagers with their Venturing Crew on a 55mi AT section hike this summer with absolutely NO commercial meals - dehydrated and vacuum sealed every one myself for the 6 day trip. We started testing them out at HC 2019 on Friday night in the parking lot as a matter of fact! From there, I had 5 mos to practice and get it right. Definitely learned a few things that I'm more than willing to share.
For a good place to start, you can download "The Backcountry Feast" off Amazon, typically for ~$2.99.
