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!

Fruit can last more than a few days without being dried though.

It depends on the fruit. Look at a banana funny and it'll go rotten. Apples are pretty stable.

True, though for a four day trip, as long as you get it at the right ripeness I don't think any fruit would go bad in that time.

But yeah apples are a great choice, like you said they're good basically forever but also pretty easy to pack - not as easy to bruise as other fruits. Oranges also come to mind as a good travelling fruit.
