Drying is only part of preserving, you will have to figure out a way of storing your dried goods. Salt should be used in combination with dehydrating and what ever you're drying should be sealed in an air tight container. Dried goods in open air will suck in humidity from the air around them leading to early spoilage. Salt acts as a retardant to bacteria and mold growth if exposed to open air. Citric acid (Vitamin C) can be used as well. Vacuum sealing works well especially if youre on the go but eventually begins to fail after time, canning dried goods (Glass jars) would be best for long term storage but isn't great for on the go. What ever you're plans are, it would be good to test a few different methods if possible see what works best for you. Hope this helps.
one way to go time tested too....

Thanks that does help. I had planned to vacuum pack them with some food grade desiccant packs inside the packages.
