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!

Some boiled eggs are easy

There is no way I would be comfortable eating a 4 day old, unrefrigerated boiled egg... or want to be in the vicinity of a person scarfing down 4 day old unrefrigerated boiled eggs.

Whats the problem? Even fresh, unboiled eggs are good for more than two weeks unrefrigerated.

You wash the wax film away and crack the shell if you boil them. They will spoil fast if you do not seal the egg - like the preboiled coloured "easter" eggs.

You don't wash anything away and why would you crack the shell? Just boil the egg. It's good for about two weeks at room temperature according to every source I can find. Thats also what it says on the preboiled Easter eggs.

Maybe the problem is just conceptual for me, I may just be easily off put.
