Canned fruit, veggies, applesauce, jerky, nuts and trail mixSome of the most essential needs and they last forever and are great to shipDon't forget some nice, home-made cookiesChips are lightI'm sure a box would weigh more than the contentsI remember working at a grocery store, that was the easiest thing to stock and move aroundDo you have any way to cook? You never mentioned that part, or even what equipment for cooking if you doIf you have a way to cook, Top Ramen is cheap and easy to shipIt takes no additives like milk or butter that Mac Cheese doesYou can cook it in a pan Canned veggies can be cheap, and all you have to do is poke a hole in the lid and cook them on a rock by a fire, or even on the camp stove, if you have oneJust make sure it doesn't boil over on a stovePotatoes are good if you have a fire and can just pick them up at a grocery storeA 20 pound bag is cheap, and just get some spices to flavor themThey're about the cheapest thing to cookWrap them in tin foil and put them in the coalsSlather the potatoes with shortening or butter, sprinkle with seasonings and wrap individually in aluminum foil while the fire is heatingPlace potatoes in a Dutch oven if you have one, or simply place foil-wrapped potatoes in the campfireIt helps to have a rack or grate over an open fire for this step, but a Dutch oven can be placed right in the hot embers of a campfireCheck potatoes periodically by piercing with a fork to test to see if they are donePotatoes will bake in 45 to 60 minutes over a hot campfireAdd wood or charcoal periodically, to keep the fire goingI'm sure I can come up with more, but those are the best quick ideas I can come up with.
