Salami, pepperoni, hard cheese (for at least the first day depending upon temperature), nuts, and protein bars serve as the bulk of my outdoor diet. Oh, and a little beer or whiskey.
I'm pretty damned lazy when it comes to food while backpacking. I want as many calories as possible in a dense but light package, with minimal mess to deal with. If I'm by the car I'll bring a cooler and cook fresh meats and veggies, which can remain good for several days with a little thought. Maybe. If I'm not feeling lazy enough to go with the items in my first paragraph. |

Backpacking or car camping or dry cabin or what? What do you have to cook with, if anything?
If you're not focused on weight, well -- load up on canned stuff, bread, PB&J, pop tarts, slim jims, spam, spray cheese and saltines, canned cooked chicken and tuna, etc. When I hit the dry cabin it's pretty much a junk food buffet. Pop tarts, PB&J and jerky or meat sticks for more protein are pretty tasty when you're in the middle of nowhere. Usually I bring up a real sandwich to start the trip before switching to the junk, and keep a couple good, protein-rich meals. All will keep for a week with no fridge. If you have a camp fire, just cook the stuff straight in the can, spaghetti-o's, soup, chili, you name it. Tuna and chicken are great straight from the can, even without heating. Once you throw weight into it, the equation changes a lot and my choices switch to freeze-dried mountain house stuff, jerky, trail mix and the like. |

If I'm not feeling lazy enough to go with the items in my first paragraph. Another couple of interesting things I found recently is that Idahoan instant mashed potatoes have quite a few good flavor varieties, like Smokey Cheese & Bacon, or Bacon & Cheddar Chipotle. Very lightweight, and all you need is boiling water. Another good one if you're tired of trail mix is gourmet macaroni and cheese boxes. A bit bulky, but can be reduced in size using ziplock bags. All you have to do is boil the noodles and stir in the packet of cheese sauce; no butter or milk required. Walmart actually has some decent flavor options, and there are a few higher end brands as well. I also like to bring some ramen, but not the generic stuff. Go to an asian market and get the real stuff; I'm partial to the MaMa brand myself, or Nongshim Neoguri. There is a bit more clean up involved with these options, but I prefer flavor and variety so it's worth it to me. On the bright side, everything I listed except the fruit only requires hot water to prepare. |

Depends if it’s backpack, canoe, or car camping.
The latter two I would go heavy on canned proteins/meats. An overnight or two nights backpacking and I would still carry a can or two. Spam, I like it on rare occasion. Pouch tuna, less bullshit water in place of tuna flesh. Dried beef for chipped beef. Works well with condensed milk. Canned enchiladas and chili. I always bring a frozen steak wrapped in newspaper to thaw on the way to camp. Delays the canned food in the diet. I avoid carbs except when camping. It’s less avoidable and you are usually burning it off so it is ok. Pasta, a bagel packs well. I used to carry two bagels in the field when I was in the USMCR. Avoided a beef with bbq sauce breakfast. I can’t stomach that stuff in the morning. |
