Sure--hike and bike sites, alcohol stoves, ramen noodles, mac 'n' cheese, eggs, plus veggies, fruits, pastries, french bread or rolls, and small steaks, pork chops, or precooked chicken from grocery store delis if available. Easy enough to do if you avoid restaurants. Hike and bike sites in CA average about $5 away from the busy coast, where they are more like $10.
