I used to do it in the oven on lowest setting and open and stir it up hourly. But I got a cheapo dehydrator (as shown in the video) and it works sooooo much better. It makes the whole process really easy.

You're buying and bringing pre-cooked beans that have been dehydrated or just dry beans? Instant rice (which has been cooked and dehydrated) or just regular rice you have to cook for a long time? Dry beans have to be soaked for hours and then cooked for like half an hour unless you have a pressure cooker right?
If you cook everything and dehydrate it you can just add hot water and the food soaks up the hot water and you can eat it, like making instant ramen noodles except whatever meal you want. You can do this with purchased instant rice and instant beans, and then dehydrate the chicken and tomatoes and onions and everything else separate, I just find it's cheaper for ingredients to buy regular rice and beans and cook everything together and dehydrate it together, plus then the flavors get cooked into the beans and rice much better.
Admittedly, beans and rice is more of a starter entry meal into dehydrating because it's hard to mess it up. But more complex meals like a dehydrated chili or dehydrated chicken curry, you can't just "take on every camping trip" especially if you are sleeping far from your vehicle.

for sure, this will always be on his highlight reels
I started making dehydrated meals for lightweight camping situations, but now I've gotten hooked! I bring dehydrated meals with me on long road trips to save time and money, and even have started bringing them to keep in the cupboard at work for when I forget a lunch. All I do is take a wide mouth thermos and put the dehydrated food in and add 1.5x volume boiling water, seal the thermos and let it sit 15-20min. For soups or wetter dishes sometimes I add a little more hot water just before eating. Anyone else have good dehydrated recipes for me to try? Right now I'm loving this beans and rice one as a base because I can so easily make variations, like adding powdered eggs and make breakfast burritos.

Thanks for clarifying!
Hi all, just wanted to type this out to someone in case it helps. I am a noob and don't really know what I'm doing but I set up an account on Mastodon, Pixelfed, Beehaw, and Kbin, then tried finding and following each account with the other. Pixelfed and Mastodon work great together, they can follow eachother and comment both directions (though I got flagged for suspicious acitivity on pixelfed which makes sense cause my name is the same on each). Beehaw I can be followed by Mastodon and Pixelfed, but I can't find a follow button in Beehaw to follow back. I can however reply to comments from outside Beehaw. Kbin I can search for and follow all the other accounts, but I cannot find the Kbin account when searching on the other sites to follow back. So I don't know if that's confusing or not. Beehaw I can be followed but not follow back, Kbin I can not be followed but I can follow others, and Mastodon and Pixelfed can be followed (but not by Beehaw) and follow back (but not for Kbin). Sorry I should have made some kind of infographic.

Glad you liked it. I'm always looking for meals that will dehydrate well. Vegan recipes work really well because they don't have fats that will spoil even when dry.

Thanks, good to know I just need to fiddle with it a little. I was on mobile earlier so maybe that was my problem.

Hey awesome thanks I didn't know about the cross instance searching. When I try to subscribe to them it says I'm not signed in, do I have to make another account on those instances??

I love the car camping community and I think they are akin to hiking and stuff
