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!

Eggs (unopened; only if not pasteurized/cleaned which you will not find in a typical US grocer for anyone other than OP).

You can usually tell by where the eggs are located in the grocery store. US eggs are 'cleaned' and kept in the fridge at the store (and at home), whereas a lot of other countries don't clean them and you just find them on a regular shelf instead of in the fridge.

It's interesting... It's mandated to wash eggs in the USA, whereas it's mandated to not wash eggs in Europe. Different standards.

Pickled or boiled eggs. I buy the 2 packs of already boiled eggs so there is never a partially opened container in my cooler.

Also carry quarts of eggs in cooler and cook all at once. Good with a bag of frozen hash browns. But this takes a way to cook (we carry Coleman style stove).
