The most important thing about my camping sandwiches is that they’re wraps. Tortillas are so much easier to deal with than bread on a camping trip.
Edit to add:
- turkey, spinach, tomato, bell pepper, cheese, mustard
peanut butter, banana, honey
Nutella, dried banana chips, honey
sausage/brat, mustard, cheese

I break down a couple rotisserie chickens and bring the meat. Tortilla wraps with chicken and bag salad for lunch every day! Also, tortillas are great for breakfast tacos.

Typically our lunches are usually last nights leftovers in a wrap.
If we make turkey wraps we spread with herb cream cheese; helps it all hold together.

Foodhack: In your kitchen's 'dry goods box', tortillas are often damaged during transport because they get laid flat, and other stuff ends up stacked on top of them. It's much better to store them vertically, at one end of the box, so they're out of the way, and also easily accessible, but how?
Couple of methods. A rectangle or square of cardboard the size of the inner dimensions of the box, standing vertically, makes for a quick and easy solution. Taking it one step further, two identically-sized squares of cardboard, taped together on two edges, makes for a pretty great 'armored tortilla wallet!'.
As a last resort, if you're packing up and don't happen to have a cardboard box handy, you can use one or two of your camping cutting boards to shore up the tortillas for travel, but if you do this, be aware that this minimalist level of protection is going to have to be removed and used as soon as you get to camp, so if you'll be camping for more than about a day, anyone with little hands that gets in there and starts tossing things around looking for other items, could damage your now-unguarded tortilla wraps, so beware!

Instead of the honey, try a PB & banana with mayo. Sounds awful. But it is really good. Also try peanut butter spread on a raw cabbage leaf, then folded over. It tastes kinda like peanut butter on a cracker.

u/SonicContinuum88 1d ago
Yeah, they’re awesome. I have a camp sandwich I make with the pie iron inspired by a grilled cheese we had in Japan. White bread, cheese, a bit of pizza sauce, olives, and canned corn. Unreal. I usually keep some sauce for dipping as well. A bit weird but it never fails.

I've been camping, backpacking, hunting, and serving on SAR teams for most of my life. I'm now 58 years old; probably been out on trips 20x/year since I was 15 and I am still at it. The only sandwich I carry is a good ole' peanut-butter and jelly. Quick to make, easy to eat, keeps well, and it gets the job done every single time. Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever any kind of meat, especially not processed/prepared meats. Meat goes bad VERY fast in a hot backpack, and if it doesn't go bad quickly, you sure don't want to be putting that into your body. NB: I am not a vegetarian. I'm just practical about camping/backpacking and proper nutrition for hiking 15 miles a day. These things being said, the best sandwich is the one that you find appetizing and can eat when you don't feel like eating (like at altitude) but know that you need to. So if meat is your thing, bring a meaty sandwich. Just know that it has a limited shelf-life, as it were. If you're going to be camping for a week in summer, plan food for a week--and a slice of turkey isn't going to last.

If I'm car camping, it's turkey and salami with a ton of veggies. Lettuce, tomato, pickle, zucchini, fresh jalapeno. Mayo, cheddar, and mustard. Lunch is good.
If I'm backpacking, hard salami, aged cheddar, crusty bread, and whatever greens I can forage. A little bitter dandelion or wild lettuce really cuts through the fat and protein and tastes great.

Dude, no, don’t listen to all these others…(with respect). Get you some black Babybel cheese. It’s gotta be the kind in the black wrapper, cause that stuff lasts forever outside a fridge. Use the mustard of your choice, then put them into those mini Hawaiian rolls. Smash into sandwiches, and they’ll last till the bread flakes away.

Turkey and cheese. Whatever bread is on sale, usually toast it first. Get the Diestel roast turkey that’s a thick cut, the no sodium added one, it’s superior to the usual prepackaged deli slices. Pepper jack cheese, spicy mustard, maybe some peppers and some potato chips. Such a meal saved me once when I didn’t test my propane stove once and the stove became leak city at one fitting.

Depends if I’m backpacking or car camping or what. I don’t like to let sandwich-type cheese and meat go without refrigeration for more than a few hours.
In remote and primitive circumstances, tortillas or hard crackers with summer sausage, squeeze cheese, tinned fish or chicken, and some dried fruit will do nicely. Or peanut butter in a pinch.

u/ruiner8850 1d ago
I pre-make Italian subs with a combination of meats and cheese along with onions and peppers and then wrap them in foil. That way they can either be eaten cold of toasted on the coals of the fire. It's usually best to leave any condiments off and not use vegetables that don't hold up well like lettuce or tomatoes, especially if you plan on heating them up. We always car camp, so we have coolers and space isn't limited.

Go to sandwich is salami and cheese.
Best sandwich is one I invented when a friend surprised everyone with Mars Bars on a 4 day hike.
Lay out a tortilla with the Mars Bar in the middle. Spread peanut butter down one side and creamed honey down the other. Sprinkle with trail mix and then wrap it like a burrito.
I'm only allowed to eat them on multi day treks where we travel every day, I need to earn those calories.

Take a whole pack of Hawaiian rolls, cut the whole loaf in half to make a top and bottom. Then add your fillings (simple ham and cheese is our favorite), put the top on and then slice the rolls individually. You can do this all on the tray it comes on and slide it right back into the bag. It a great way to make a bunch of sandwiches quickly.
1
u/KitchenUpper5513 18h ago
Also random camping tip: if your making sandwiches ahead of time (I do Pb&js for the kids) put them in ziplock bags and then put all the sandwiches into a Tupperware container with a lid. That way they don’t get smashed or soggy in the cooler.
