I have a short list of non-cook foods below and can surely manage with that for an overnight trip, but was just wondering what other options are available.
Summer sausage, peanut butter sandwiches, cereal with nuts or dried fruit, tuna in prepackaged pouches, granola bars, sliced bread like Hudson Bay bread, cheese whiz, trail mix.
I have seen a few articles where people mention that they do not cook food and instead eat cold food while camping; however, most of those articles assume you have a method of keeping food cold (ice chest).
Thanks.
Sounds good to me. I almost always carry a stove, if for nothing else than to boil water. I am a coffee/tea drinker and I ain't gonna move in the morning without a cuppa joe. YMMV. I had a week long tour where it was hot, other than coffee in the morning everything else was eaten out of the can or raw, didn't want to hassle of cooking. One thing I do when touring and on longer rides is look for the produce stands. Plenty of good stuff that can be eaten as is.
