Yep, it really works well. I use my dehydrator on the lowest setting which is 95*F. I grate it pretty course also.
Basque shepherds used to dry slices of cheese to take with them while herding. Of course, they just let it sit out and dry, then wrapped it in cloth. Bread, cheese, bottle of wine, probably some dried meat as well ... I think they know how to do it right.

For those of you who like Feta cheese, it is one of the few cheeses that dehydrates well. Once it's dry on the surface, I generally run it through the food processor to break it up, then dry a little longer. It turns out like a cheese powder, but once added to food (like soups or whatever) it tastes just like feta.

I came up with a brilliant idea last night in my sleep.
Instead of conventional glass, one could use thinly sliced cheese for windowpanes.
You'd have to slice it very thin to allow light to pass through, and obviously white cheeses would probably work better than darker yellow cheeses. Monterey Jack or Harvarti might be good choices, but I think perhaps a white American cheese might be the best choice.
This is one of those "killing two birds with one stone" things - if you were hungry you could just eat your windows.
Happy Memorial Day!

I carry cheese all the time won't hike without it all kinds of cheese even cream cheese. Cheese has the best flavor at room temp. Now having got that off my chest (again). Try a smoked cheddar that won't get oily or super-soft, goes good on a sandwich with just about anything even peanut butter, and is really good at the end of the day with scotch.

just went up to "Big Lots" to pick up a couple things and they have "Cracker Top" Smoked Gouda (6 ounce) again for $2.80. (it's one of those "sometimes they have it, sometimes they don't" items.)
unless I'm mistaken, that beats TJ's price, and it holds up fairly well in a pack for a few days if it's not too hot out.

If you all like cheese on the trail, how about yogurt? There are recipes for mixing up a little yogurt with water and powdered milk to keep fresh supply going. You mix it up in the morning and you've got yogurt by dinner or for the next morning. I tried it one day and it was good.
