I started with a can of peaches in mango that I bought by mistake (I don't like mango)
I didn't want to chuck it away so into the dehydrator and ended up being really a nice snack.

Because you can't find an Irish stew cup-a-soup? Or a chunky noodle?
Actually I'm in your camp and never, ever eat canned soup anymore. But I've also had some pretty bad instant soups (some in Tasmania were horrible) and now mostly just eat miso soup when walking. But if you like it, why not dehydrate it? You could probably dehydrate dog food.

So buy canned food, dehydrate it, carry it into the middle of a beautiful wilderness, rehydrate it, thenenjoyconsume a somewhat degraded canned food meal in natural surroundings?
Train wreck. LOL.

Most of the canned food I have eaten was Army rations in Cadets. That definitely 'flavours' my point of view on canned food.

I guess from your comment that you rarely eat any canned /foil packed food ?so how can you comment on what others eat and your mention of Army Rations when in Cadets is a bit of a longbow to draw owing to what I believe would have been your limited experience ,in my Army days (40+ years ago) the canned ration food was balanced and nutritious OK some better than others but it did introduce me to McConnachies Irish Stew which was nice and so much better than the School Dinner version I had to endure 10 years earlier
Speed forward to now and I am an avid amateur cook with pride in my efforts across a cuisine range and I am also well experienced in Dehydrating all sorts of food so having a go at doing canned food will be an interesting experiment.
As an aside my wife cannot believe that I actually eat and enjoy some canned /foil packed food perhaps a reflection back to when I grew up in Scotland and Food Rationing was still in place and "hunger was good kitchen"

in particular where the degradation occurs.
I also prefer fresh food but it is doubtful that anything we buy today is actually fresh.
I suspect that a lot of vegetables are treated in some way with chemical cocktails of god knows what.
One example of this is cabbages, I have put cabbage leaves in my worm farm that haven't even changed colour
after a week or more. That aint natural. Beware of what you are really consuming.

Probably safest to eat fresh food while in the bush. What's the best way to serve leeches?
