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!

Boiled eggs and boiled potatoes. They will surely last 3 days.

Boiled potatoes, maybe. But I wouldn't count on the eggs, especially when it can get hot outside.

According to this survivalist book I've got they should be fine. It recommendeds eating them in a box with a fox, or in a boat with a goat.

What if you don't like them?

Then you will be politely, yet firmly, asked to leave.
