5 Survival & Camp Recipes That Actually Taste Good (No Fridge Needed)

1. Tuna & Rice Camp Bowl

Ingredients: Instant rice, canned tuna, soy sauce packets, hot sauce packets, dried onion or garlic powder.

How to make: Cook instant rice with boiled water. Stir in a can of tuna, season with soy sauce and garlic. Add hot sauce for kick. High protein, carbs, and super filling. Add crushed crackers or hardtack on top to mix it up and add a few extra calories.

Cook it anywhere with a compact camp set like the Coleman Nesting Cookware Kit. Packs down small and tough enough for the wild.

2. Peanut Butter Oat Power Balls
