The last thing you want while camping is for your food to go bad. The good news is that you have several choices for camping food that will last the duration of your weekend getaway or even your two week excursion. Most of the survival food on the PrepSOS website are good anywhere from 7-25 years. This way you will not need to worry about eating it through the weekend or season.
Perishable items you should keep in a cooler throughout your camping trip. Keep all items sealed and in air tight containers to preserve food items. Basically foods that don’t have moisture will last longer than items that have moisture in them.

Camping Food Ideas
Nuts and seedsNuts and seeds are very easy to transport. They are light weight and take up little space. They are both high in proteins, calories, minerals and healthy fats. A perfect fit for your backpack.
Dried fruits
Dried fruits unlike fresh fruits have a long shelf life. Dehydrating remove most water from the product. These are also easily stored and don’t take up too much space.
Dried meats
Dried meats and jerky are a substitute to fresh meat that has to be kept in a refrigerator. Dried meats are very high in protein and are perfect to take on your next camping trip.
Dehydrated/ protein bars
These have a high source of protein and are very portable.
Oats
Oats are packed with all kinds of vitamins and minerals. They have little to no added sugar. They are a perfect healthy snack to bring on your trip.
Granola Bars
You can pick and choose the flavors that you like. My favorite are the Sunbelt Bakery granola bars. These have changed shape and size over the years but are still, arguably, the best-tasting ones there are.
Canned Goods
These aren't really a great choice for hiking due to their shape and weight but if you're car or camper camping you'll want to stock up.
