take salami chorizo ....meats like that ..they dont need to be kept refrigerated ....or make a stew  a few days earlier freeze it....then take it with you ...by the time its defrosted it be ready to cook

The stew is a good idea I’ll try that ,

Or just pay for a hotel you cheap arse gypos 

[TOMO 26,121]

only trouble with noodles ...pasta ..rice etc ..is needing water to cook them with...which means if your hiking you got to carry it...or find it...

another good thing that keeps....is small light ..and full of energy is wraps....the flat bread things...theres like ten in a pack that take up no room...a handfull of raw vege ...(peppers onions cellery cherry toms ...or whatever you fancy) some chorizo chopped on it....bit of dressing if you facy...mayo or whatever....

very tasty quite healthy ...depending on your view of chorizo ..or salami....very easy to do and like socks said the raw vege will keep easy same as the flat bread on the chorizo

If your going to get into the outdoor way of life get yourself a cheap vat pack machine that will keep your food fresh for twice as long.

For something like that I'd take a tin of corned beef and some tomato puree and do a corned beef hash. 

Dry cured ham lasts a long time and small tins of tuna are useful. Pasta needs a lot of water. If you haven't got much water then use cous-cous. It is available ready flavoured. Or take some large spuds. For bread; brioche lasts a lot longer than ordinary bread and if there is any apples and  / or soft fruit about you can make a summer pudding in a coffee mug. Chorizo, onions and garlic along with salt, pepper and tomato puree are a must for me. They add a lot of flavour to ordinary food. Small tins of chick peas and beans come in handy. Also, lots of nuts and raisens as energy food and to eat when you can't cook for any reason.

If I do two or three days away I'll just take a tarp, poncho, hammock, blanket and Kelly Kettle. No need for an axe or huge knife. A folding saw from Aldi and a pair of secateurs to cut firewood into small pieces are far more useful.

That's how I set up. If it is cold or threatens to rain hard I'll suspend the poncho just over the hammock diagonally and peg the corners so they keep some heat in and take any rain that gets through the tarp away.

Hot water bottle is a must in winter,  stick it in sleeping bag 10mins before you get in , we camped in March last year tent was frozen in the morning but we was still warm was lovely
