I made the mistake of trying to eat this stuff...

http://www.spam.com/assets/hp/GoodGone3_animation.gif

...directly from the can. I can usually get thorugh about 1/2 to 2/3's of it before my body says no more. Now, I am not suicidal, I was just trying to figure out what I could eat for 6 days that does not require cooking or special storage...I do not think spam is one for me now though.

I figure canned peaches, beans, fruit cocktail would work, but I need other ideas. Any suggestions?

eww spam is so raunchy.i havent eaten any since i was 4.can you build a fire in regards to cooking cause there isnt alot you can eat when camping that tastes good unless you have a fire.

nope no fire, it will leave burn scars in the desert. We can have a portable stove though, so i am looking into that. I was just hoping to find stuff that might not need to be cooked, and I wouldn't die from eating it for 6 days striaght either.

Hot dogs are actually pre-cooked. Heating them up is only for the taste benefits. I'm not sure if you'll have a cooler or anything, but if you can keep them cold, you can eat those right out of the package. Soup out of a can is good - just get a bigger container, mix in some water, and you're set (it's better warm, obviously, but you won't die - if you're worried, go with vegetarian vegetable - the alphabet soup - which is fine uncooked).

you need some sort of Protien....


camping places have a small burner that you can attach to a propane canister....and..you can heat beans and stuff on that.....even throw a fiew hot-dogs in with it.

other than that...the fruit is good too...bring LOTS of power bars...they don't go bad...

dried fruit is good for a quick boost of enerdy....trail mix and the like...if you are really hardcore..you can eat Millatary Rations...food in a bag...yumm

maybe you can pickle some eggs too...keep them in a jar....good source of vitamis..and you won't have to keep them cold..if you pickle them...

and well..there is always Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwitches http://discussanything.com/Ubb/smile.gif.

wow...these are all good suggestions.

um we will have a cooler, but ice will be hard to come by...we did not want to rely on it. Since ice is so hard to get and/or is going to be costly, we were only got to use it now and then to keep our water cold...

yeah, soup is a great idea and so are the power bars and trail mix. I will have to look into how much MRE's are though =).

thanks

MRE's are a good idea or try Pita and Hummus

Keep it in the cooler so it doesn't dry out (no ice needed).

That can keep ya going good for six days.

Also, like you said the canned fruits/veggies.

You can get soup (that doesn't need water added) and bury it in the sand, warm it up and have at it.

Go to a backpacking store. Lots of good 'just ad water' meals.

Also you cna get a small backpacking stove if you do not have a camping stove.

But going without a stove I think would be foolhardy.
