During these couple of years that I've been (almost) on my own I had to learn skills I never expected I'd have to learn. Some of them very interesting. Like dehydrating food. And other skills, like sewing. (Ugh) Those readers who follow writings of my (or ours, kiddo and mine)  " adventure" know that I'm not precisely skillful with my hands.   

Here are the skills I never expected I'd have to learn.

Dehydrating Staples

You may ask why dehydrating was a "needed skill." Remember, I don't have a fridge. We need to have some means to preserve meat and have proteins for a few days. Canned fish is awful here. Besides, they have all the fresh fish they want! Canned poultry and meat are much worse. (Red meat is hyper-expensive).
