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!

    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.

      Because of a certain YouTuber now every time i see MRE i hear the sound “let’s get this out onto a tray… nice”
