I want to go camping this fall, what are some good no-fire meals? I was thinking of bringing an MRE because they have those flameless heaters but I was wondering if there's anything cheaper that is similar.

This might be too simple but I recommend those tuna pouches and a fuck ton of tortillas. You can even slap some pb&j on those bad boys

Cheese bread sticks
You can also try cold soaking foods, even though it's more disgusting than MREs

I eat a ton of those things. They're easy to slip into the breast pocket of my jacket, the outer pouches of my pack, and they weigh nothing. Some fat asses on here tried to tell me I was a larper because that wasn't enough food.

Cold soaking can actually be really good. One of my favorites is garlic and herb couscous with a single serving packet of green olives and a packet of garlic and herb tuna. I throw some walnuts, almonds and raisans in as well. Absolutely delicious. Another favorite is ramen with refried beans, taco seasoning and hot sauce. You can add cheese as well and put it on a tortilla. Once you get the mixtures down right cold soaking can be just as good if not better than cooking. Especially in the summer.

You can try getting MREs from soldiers who nicked them off the army. Not sure how it works for them, but only yesterday I got fourteen polish single meal MREs for £20 total

I take powdered meal replacement in shaker bottles and add some water from what I've got in my pouch. I'm in the UK so finding a decent fire spot is hard and iffy with the fuzz but we have Huel here, would reccomend if you are ok with it tasting a little cardboardy.

Backpacker meals? Like mountain house shit, cheapo ones are the veggie ones.
Got to boil water but y'know, I'm sure you can.
Those meals are a nice reason for a REI membership.

Wait what? Like do you just talk to a guy you know in the army or is there some network or something? I'm very interested in this.

I've used Australian MREs and they're better then I expected, there's a good variety of options and each pack has a lot of good things in them. Each one can be spread out over 2 or 3 days if you really need to. They have two main meals, muesli and noodles for breakfast or lunch, cupa soups, tea/coffee, protein and sports drinks as well as plenty of snacks and extra things to eat while hiking.

I know a woman that works in the army - she's one of them office workers, whenever she's out of the base she gets mres. She doesn't like them so she brings them back home, and whenever we have a chance of meeting - sells me her stock. She's getting me ten more next Monday.

There's also this other guy I know, he's a quartermaster in the army. Whenever I need larger amounts of mres I get in contact with him and he just adds the number to his supply requests and then sells them to me on the side.

I've done it with mres only, but I know of people who get ammo and other military equipment this way.

MREs generate a lot of trash. I would open them up, remove the crap you dont need, and only bring the main pouches.
also those tasty bites or equivalent

If you're anywhere near civilisation, just go and but whatever you like on sandwiches. Bread, fish, cuts, cheese, veggies, hot dogs, what the fuck ever. Fresh fruit or canned. In fact, this also works for camping in remote areas, as long as the stay is short enough that you can carry all the supplies you'll need, and water is usually the main concern in any case.
Most places won't really care if you use one of those small portable propane burners, as long as you clear the area around it of flammable material and/or put it on something resembling a table - the main concern with campfires is usually flying embers which aren't an issue with gas stoves.

this amount is probably good for 4 meals, so if you have a big breakfast at home you can do a 2 day trip for 10 dollars. dont buy fancy shit like an idiot just take some basic food along with some chocolate and water and you'll be fine.

Why "no-fire"?

Plenty of edible stuff straight out of the can. Beef jerky, nuts, etc. The hard part is fiber and vitamins without fresh vegetables. Bring multivitamins.

Is there any food even denser than MREs?
What's the best value on the buck for high calorie, nutrition dense food? Preferably low weight and small so you can pack a lot.

I've gotten tired of the good ol' Bread + Meat + Cheese combo. Does anyone know any good way to spice up a meal like that?

you can shit on this all you want. whenever i go out, especially on multi day hikes, or canoeing trips I rely solely on onions, or whatever the filter is now.
pic related is an entire weeks worth of nutrients. I supplement it with some trail mix for a mouth feel. i dont have to take a single shit until i get back. no nasty outhouses, no hole digging, no ass wiping.
dont have to buy expensive bear proof canisters, or cooking equipment to carry and clean tried up oatmeal.
fuck propane and fuck expensive fuel canisters. fuck overpriced MREs, dont have to wait for the fire to make coals.
i cant stand trying to cook outdoors. so much fucking hassle. you can shove your titanium mess kits and sporks up your ass. just give me a $2 water bottle and im set.

guess i should have spent more time looking at that pic. the pouches contain 2000 calories and weight just under a pound. i still have a bunch of formula 1.4 available from years ago.
i thought that tub had 30 400 cal servings
its a pound of powder per day for 2k calories. and thats if you dont supplement it with anything else. i never bring more than 3 pouches for a 4 night camping trip.

I love seeing trip reports were every meal is Backpackers Pantry meals. Tells me everything I need to know.

Dehydrating your own food is so incredibly worth it though.
