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!

How come most people try to solve the no heat problem instead of the food that does not need heating problem?

Some stuff that can taste well even "cold":
Canned tuna + precooked canned beans + onion + salt pepper oil vinegar.

Watermelon (quite inefficient when it comes to nutritiom but tasty)

Bread + mustard+ hard cheese or certain types of sausages (especially smoked with low amount of water inside).

Most vegetables and fruit will survive 5 days if they do not have defects and you can keep insects away from it.

Because getting a cheap ass stove is so much easier and opens a shitton of options.

Because a Trangia alcohol stove solves the no heat problem and opens up more options.

For some reason I always forget about the hard cheese, but it makes eating this way so much more doable for some reason
