Good no-cook camping recipes?

What are some good no-cook meals for camping. I am going to Bonnaroo in just over a week and really don't want to waste my time cooking when I could be seeing all those great bands. I will have a cooler with dry ice. I am just looking for some ideas besides just sandwiches and salads.Good no-cook camping recipes?
here are some recipes i've found for my girl scout troop... lots of fun!!








No bake cooking - armpit fudge





Single serving:





Ingredients:


2 oz. powdered sugar (1/2 cup)


1 Tbsp butter


2 tsp cream cheese


dash of vanilla


2 tsp cocoa





What to do:


Place all ingredients in a sandwich-size plastic zipper-bag (Ziploc (tm), etc). Squeeze out all the air. Squish and moosh (under the arm!) the bag until all the ingredients are well mixed and there is a creamy consistency. Add any favorite flavors or other stuff (raisins, M%26amp;M's, peanut butter, chopped nuts, etc). Take out a spoon and enjoy.








Ice cream without a freezer!


ICE CREAM IN A BAG (Use 1 recipe per person)





Ingredients:


1 large zip-lock bag per person


1 small zip-lock bag per person


2 trays ice cubes


(2 8 lbs bags of ice was enough for 12 girls)


6 Tbsp. salt

1/4 tsp. vanilla


1 Tbsp. sugar





Directions:


1- Fill the large bag 1/2 full with ice. Sprinkle salt on top of ice.


2- In small bag mix----milk, vanilla, %26amp; sugar. Seal bag tightly.


3- Place small bag inside large bag. Seal bag.


4- SHAKE the bags until ice cream forms. Your ice cream should be


ready in about 5 minutes. (It works !!!!!).








Simple wraps





1 tortilla


cream cheese


turkey


1 lettuce leaf


black olives (all ingredients optional)





Smear the cream cheese on the tortilla first then add all ingredients in order, wrap and eat.





cold chicken burgers





1 chicken patty


1 bun


mayo or catsup

NO MESS TACO';s





okay not really a taco





1 small bag of fritos

1 lettuce leaf shredded





open fritos bag, pour in about 2 or 3 spoons of chili and top with lettuce and cheese... eat it right out of the bag!!!








thats if you have kids coming along and you want to entertain them :)Good no-cook camping recipes?
There are plenty of things you can make just using a fire (and it's Bonnaroo... I know there will be fire pits). Before you leave, cut up potatoes and zucchini and squash (whatever veggies you like) into small pieces and wrap them in little tinfoil boats. Put cheese and spices on them and they will keep on ice for quite a while. Throw the boats on the fire and in about 30-45 minutes you'll have a good meal (and you don't even have to tend to anything).





It also might be a good idea to make several different kinds of salads (potato, pasta, chicken, etc), since these keep very well, and the variety should help with food-boredom. I have included a link for a great chicken salad that you might like to try... very cooling for the hot weather.
Take a few cans of Baked Beans, Spaghetti, those canned stews or any other canned stuff, most can be eaten out of the can.





Get one of those camp cookers that sit on a propane tank and if your position allows you, you can heat and eat without moving.





You can get cheap cookers like this, but you will need a level stable base to put one on.


Do not compromise safety.
