I'm going to be camping for 4 days at a location without easy access to fire (hence no boiled water). As such, I'm going to be packing a bunch of canned stuff for my daily meals. The place is in England, where we're expecting a few hot days this week and maybe some rain over the weekend.

However, I have some free time before the trip to cook food. But I'm not sure if there's any good foods I could bring along that could keep for 3-4 days without a fridge. I guess that crosses out most meat dishes.

Some ideas I had were: falafel, fritters, bread, calzones, pasties. Have you tried taking such foods camping and if so, did they last a few days without spoiling? Are there any other foods you'd recommend? Thank you so much!

It really depends on whether or not you plan to be pooping during those few days.

Pfft, eat a few MRE's a day and you won't poop for two solid weeks. Emphasis on solid because when that shit comes out it will be a brick the size of a baby.

I can't remember what it's called, but mixing the brownie with the coffee was the best thing I've ever had from an MRE.

It's called ranger pudding and the recipe is 2 packets coffee, 1 packet creamer, 1 packet chocolate beverage powder, 1 packet sugar. Add a bit of water, stir and enjoy. You can also add peanut butter if you're feeling frisky.

Edit: I forgot the 1 packet of crackers. Gotta add those bad boys in for substance.

Thank you! I'm a civi (civilian) and only had it when my older sister came back from basic training.

Ok, I'm googling that shit (no pun intended), didn't know about it.
