Thanks rolandh, I went to T-Mobile and spent $10 to have my phone number port out in 5 minutes. One suggestion given your short timeline before your trip. You could port your number to a number-parking service such as RingTo, then forward your number from RingTo to your Cricket phone.
How Long Does Dehydrated Food Last. In most cases, dehydrated food can be stored for up to a year. Once dehydrated, the food does not take up a lot of space, and can be stored in a more organized fashion. Fruits and vegetables can last for up to 1 year, if properly stored. Dried meats should be consumed within 2-3 months.
Then you just leave the dehydrator running as long as it takes to completely dry out the food, which can take anywhere from 4 to 24 hours. Depending on the type of food, it will be hard and crisp, or a more leathery when done. Some foods (mostly fruit) will brown when dried.
