Harvest Right Extra Large Freeze Dryer  

At this stage in the game, it's getting hard to afford the stuff you're wanting to freeze dry, nevermind the freeze drier, itself.

A local church got together and purchased a freeze drier its parishioners can sign up to use ... bet they will wish they had waited. This is perfecct and amazing.....Thanks Nate and HarvestRight.

Holy smokes Nate. This model is almost 4 grand with shipping and handling. Dang, it's expensive. But it looks like a very well-made machine. I can't afford this. Even their smallest model is very $$$. But thank you again for sharing sir.

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID 😀😄😂🤣😂🥹 Thanks Nate, I really needed that!

(CP) Nate: Can you please do a power comparison test?: How much power (Kwh) did it take to run the big machine, as well as the medium machine. Also perhaps do a comparison on food on how much energy for a batch of chicken between the two machines (kwh/kg of chicken) between the two machines. I wonder if the larger machine is more energy efficient over the smaller machine. You can use a kill-o-watt meter for testing power usage. Also how long per cycle does each machine take? Thanks in advance!

Hello Nate from East Texas! That machine is a MONSTER! Way more than I would ever need…. But would have a LOT of potential for the right Person / Group. Great unboxing! Thank you for sharing

I bought the large 5 tray unit about a year ago. We have probably run 4 or 5 hundred pounds of food through it in a year. Great investment

I have the medium, 2+ years now, and I love it. 7000 hrs +. Thank you, Nate

"Apparently you're supposed to read the instructions!" Ha! Can relate, I've always thought the picture was the instructions, only to be bitten by my ignorance later! 😁

Not obly do u always give up the most up to date info in survival, but u can clearly tell u greatly enjoy what u go. Gotta have a good time with ur work

Been runnin the XL a month now, other than running a 20amp circuit, easy and awesome. 3 kids and I gotter goin on a Saturday morning. Just enough to keep up with a quartet acre garden.

Nice! $5,000! That’s it? What an absolute steal

I clicked on this video so fast, it froze my RU-vid app and crashed my phone. You know Nate is doing something right when his content literally is destroying 😅!

I purchased the medium then they made the xl. After seeing the xl the medium is the best size for my use. Thanks for showing the xl because now I know I made the correct choice.

This is awesome! I have a smaller version which I've had running 24/7. This would really let me ramp up my preps. Along with all the foodstuffs, I'm freeze drying water. I'm going to be the best outfit prepper out there!!

I thought something was wrong with the sound for a second 😆

It's about time you showed the Harvest Right freeze dryer. I'm been using mine for a few years.

Hey community. This educational video is amazing. I upgraded my small FD to the Medium a few weeks ago for the same price of the small. Tractor Supply exchanged it for me since I only had the small for less than 2 months. I invested 2100.00 USD. I have Tomato Paste and Meat prefreezing right now. I will process in the FD today. I grew the tomato, onion, carrot, garlic, herbs myself. So the cost of the Paste was maybe 2 dollars. I bought a killer deal (5.19 per pound) tri tip roast as costco, sliced it and am pre freezing it now. I will FD that raw too. After I finish my apples and Grapes and winter squash that I am growing, After I FD my produce, I will start freeze drying everything that I pressure canned last year. Nate told us that food was going up in price so I learned to Pressure Can meat last year. NOW I will FD it and be secure with long term meat stored that I invested for $3.60 per pound last year. I can't believe how expensive meat is. $11.50 for the same thing this year.

Just a quick advice Nate, try to put the chicken in the last row of trays, and beef on top of it, fruit and vegetables on the top trays to be extra careful on crossed contamination.

Hello Nate!

Amazing video and thank you for breaking it down!! Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy 😊I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $9,000 investment every 21days.

Ha. Can I have your old one! I'm only an hour away.

Once its all dry you can make some tasty pemican.

Can you please send your old smaller one to a poor boy dreaming of one. Please

CP ASMR unboxing of the ultimate freeze dryer. Hmm! Who’d a thought! 😁

chop the blueberries in a food processor or blender first. It breaks the skin. I pre-freeze everything to make the processing quicker. That freeze dryer is a monster! I can't imagine preparing enough food to fill it!

Canadian Prepper, you are the best!!!! Excellent video!!

Love tiny Canadian Prepper

Very happy I purchased my freeze dryer a few years ago. I have the same pump but a medium sized freeze dryer. That thing is definitely large enough to feed a community 😅

Got the medium size and haven't done a bunch yet but if anyone is interested I can do 60 raw scrambled eggs per batch.

Wow. No thanks. Can’t afford. Blessings 🙏🙏🙏

@CanadianPrepper I’m getting one debating on the smaller one. This got me thinking about the distractions. Could it be that we’re being distracted with ukr and the real concern should be Taiwan for the US? There are very few months a yr a Chinese invasion amphibious or airborne strike works on Taiwan because of the winds and other factors and are not as simple as many may think. It would also be an untested military. Taiwan makes 90% of the chips we use everyday from phones, cameras, cars, aircraft so USA can’t let that happen. That would lead me to believe it would be a lot more intense in every sense. What’s your take on that? Thanks for all the info/tips you bring us! ❤

Wish i could afford one of those.

So you have to be financially at the top of the food chain to be able to afford to freeze dry? Got it👍

Very neat! Still not sure why they don't integrate the pump into the machine though...

Here we go!

I own 2 harvest rights. One large one medium. One breaks down as i use the other. Ive even shipped them both back to Utah. Just my experience. Good luck everyone

Wish I could afford to buy one! 😩 If you can, I think it’s smart to get any size & get going!

Can you imagine when getting a freeze dried steak is going to be so rare and luxurious?

My mind is just about blown too, head on a swivel.

I’ve been freeze drying raw chicken breast for a while. I sliced in the breast in half and removed ALL the fat. And weigh the trays to make sure it’s dry. How do you do a weight check? After the process is completed. You weigh each tray in grams. Weight the trays after the weight stop dropping. That why I FD for over 40 hours, no matter what it is.

I love my freeze dryer but glad i got the medium as any bigger needs a dedicated electric circuit.

Today's video paid for the unit 😎

The medium almost looks like an easy bake oven next to the new one!

Please do a test run of a medium sized freeze dry unit powered by a solar "generator". I'd love to know the results!

That is totally Bonkers ‼️

Nice nate u deserve to be main character in post apocalyptic movies and video games

Just saw this online. I was under the impression it just squeezed in 2 more shelves on the rack in its medium size unit. That puppy's HUGE. Good to know, as I wouldn't have the room for that monster. It's best to pre-freeze what ever you're freeze drying right on the tray, cuts off 3-5+ hours. But I doubt anyone has a freezer big enough for those 7 trays.

Ohhhh I think you will be able to rustle up a few words….I just feel it……..😀

I have this XL unit and it is Amazing !!!!

I want one of those so bad. I've gotta build a shed to house it though. No room in the house

Good afternoon from Syracuse NY USA brother

My harvest right has the small pump oil free. It’s only 68 decimals (sound ) use it in the spring and fall to heat the house.

Liked you Osha approved sad face sign on the cord! 😅 great video man.

I have the large version…in between the size of the two Nate has. At this time of year, specifically apple season from our various trees, I wish I had more capacity. It’s running 24/7 with a backlog of frozen produce waiting. I got two sets of trays right off the bat 2 years ago when I bought this thing.

Got my notification

Wow I think we all can't count on no apocalypse for awhile thanks

Prices?

Woot woot

Broke on an near nothing Budget so can't afford four grand though believe this would be well worth it for those who can. I grew up w a native American grandmother who raised 8 children and some of us grandchildren. I would help her dry our meat the old way outdoors. Pork was fully cooked then stored in its own rendered fat to extend the life of the product and beef could not be more then half inch in thickness and slathered in a dry chili w salt paste to eliminate moisture prior to hanging out in direct sun during the summer on a clothes line for 3 days in the summer heat covered w just a old thin sheet and we flipped it every 24 hours 3 days before it would be stuffed into old flour sacks. chicken was the only meat we had fresh due it it being raised in the yard but even that was not an everyday option. We mostly got our protein from beans and purslane and cactus pads w a year round small garden of very basic chili, onions and sometimes peanuts. our fruit was only citrus, fig or dates because that was about all that grew fairly well without much effort in Arizona weather. We grew corn but still purchased flour bean and rice.

I love my freeze dryer but this wow I would really like to get my hands on one of those

Wow! That’s like the size of a clothes dryer! 😱

You may prefer the oil-free pumps but the oil type pump will Outlast the oil-free many times over.

Thanks Nate! You are helping so many people out

Did you do a Test Batch with Bread? 🤔 They say that helps to test/trouble shoot and also remove/absorb odors from the oil and smells from being new. Just wondering if you did off camera and if not, it looks like the taste was not affected by not doing the Test Batch.

I honestly thought it would be more expensive. The only thing stopping me from buying one is the necessity of a dedicated circuit; my house is old and the wiring just isn't sufficient. Cool machine though.

I've been on the fence on a freeze dryer for years. There's always some other more important items on the prepping budget list.

Just bagged up bell peppers, jalapenos, and tomatoes from the garden. I love my small unit.

GO BIG OR GO HOME

Its good that the machine works so well and can be restarted for the same batch of food.🎅

I have the large one and run in several times a week. Worth every penny. Even non prepping family want to use it sometimes.

Epic asf

Nate, just to give you a warning there’s hackers out there that are taking Ukraine content creators channel hostage, his channel is combat vet reacts, his latest video explains and thinks there’s more channels next

Most people probably need a storage unit to own one... its so big... Ahahahaha. Great idea to start a small local Buissness though.

The previous model medium-size was the largest one could go using a standard household plug. The oil-free pump is totally worth it (at least for the previous model). Had a lot of trouble with blueberries and garlic cloves (even though I cut the garlic up). I cut everything up really small--maximize surface area. Somehow, the garlic "bubbled". Some of the fruits became super sticky, and I didn't think it would be safe to vacuum seal and save it like that. Any thoughts? I only trusted the process if the product "powderized"--if I could smush it between my fingers & have it turn to dust. Greenbeans, carrots, peas turned out super easily.

Nate You should go look at other Preppers comments your more popular on their comment chats than yours.😂

Sold! I’ve been debating but it makes sense especially for meats and proteins.

Dude! You best check that cabinet/countertop can hold that weight! It may bend the front edge permanently.

I Have No Words. This is Incredible!?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Honestly, 17mins later, i have no words.

Again a good crack up intro 🤣 you little munchkin 👍 And that freeze dryer is huge and Kool.

Cool

Do I need one? Probably!!! I just seen one at crappy tire for 900, cant remember brand but a smaller unit, little more affordable for us mere mortals lol

What a beast

I’ve got a med on layaway…. Can’t wait. Thanks for the videos, they will help once we get started. Question though, what if “it” has hit the fan? If you can’t get oxygen absorbers?

Definitely going to see about getting an "Extra Large Harvest Right Freeze Dryer for myself in the future. A bit on the expensive side, but damn well worth the cost.

Wow how many zombies can we feed with one of these big ones LOL, very good in-depth video kid

Awesome 💯

That thing is a beast. I’ve got the small, and it’s just right for me.

Howdy from Texas. You talk about seeds . Consider spouting seeds for prepping storage. Could give fresh salad options.

I got the smallest one because it can run on a 15amp circuit, I can plug it in anywhere.

Now will it help if you flush the inside with nitrogen instead of just opening a valve to let regular air in?

You kinda went at this Like a kid on Christmas morning.i wish you would have gave this more though, and axley prepared full meals in a bag. And put the contence on a scale and show us how many full meals,this will make in one run. I can see you miss matched the contence you put in. By their moisture content. The only thing I would feel comfortable with, to bag and tag would be the mix veggies, eat the rest for your own safty, the chicken did look good to go. After All you are THE CANADIAN PREPER!! Leed by examples not mistakes.

THE BEGINNING 😂😂 I LOVE IT❤😂 opened right up with the humor, love your vids so much, you keep the positive and humor with the facts and negative and its perfect 👍🤙

We have a medium Harvest Right freeze drier and absolutely LOVE IT! That think is a monster. If people aren't aware, there is an upgrade for the medium to a 5 tray rack from 4 trays. It's not that expensive compared to the additional dry space.

Of course, you’ll have to build your own power plant to power this dehydrator

The crossbow is kewl, but this is what i want from santa.

You've clearly been eating good lately. I'm almost sold on buying one of these. Also, 100v is standard (in the US). Did you mean 220?

I have been dehydrating water since May I now have 500 gallons of dehydrated water in my preps, just waiting to be rehydrated

Why did I just think of Charlie and the Chocolate factory with the intro...lol

Nice. What’s the price tag on that beast?
