I've heard of and been looking forward to trying a different kind of homemade dehydrator design for jerky. You get a couple (or more) PAPER HVAC filters, place your marinated raw meat in between them, and bungie cord them to one of those square window fans and turn it on. Anyone try that before?

Also, somewhat related... I use a Food Saver to vacuum seal my dehydrated trail food. Couldn't be more pleased. Something that really works well with the Food Saver: I cut up a shop-grade paper towel into ~1 X 2 in. strips, soak them in Tea Tree oil, and vacuum seal them two per compartment. On longer hikes, I wipe down my feet with the Tea Tree oil at night... no more fungus, pleasant smelling, have never attracted bears even in high bear activity areas, and my socks don't become a bio-hazard!
