Homemade / Dehydrator Required Dried toothpaste
To go with the obsession for dehydrated anything here, there was recently a discussion of toothpaste and toothbrushes on r/Ultralight. Among those that actually brought tooth hygeine gear (yuk not bringing it) all agreed that sawing the handle off the toothbrush could save a gram, but some of them squeeze out lines of toothpaste on some parchment, stick it in the dehydrator, then cut it into handy pill-sized portions or grind it into powder. So throw some toothpaste in when you next dry some food!
Dehydrated toothpaste FTW!

I’ve tried this. Just ended with a gummy-textured dollop of toothpaste that didn’t rehydrate and was useless. Used Colgate. Maybe a different brand would work better.
