What foods can last 3-4 days without refrigeration? (sopuli.xyz)

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!

Another thing I don't see people talking about much is canned food. Almost all canned food is precooked or otherwise sterilized, and it takes years to expire when the can is left sealed. While cold ravioli isn't the most satisfying meal, it will fill your stomach without making you sick.

    Exactly this. I have eaten cold ravioli in Yellowstone when we drove to the opposite end of the park.

    We also have the tubes that keep a loaf of bread from getting crushed. Add a can of chicken and mayo packets for a rough but edible chicken salad sandwich.

    Also sometimes carry the peanut butter and honey as both are shelf stable. Can even buy premixed.
