It's easy and good to have plenty of food that doesn't have to be cooked. Breads, nut butters, dried fruit are readily accessible everywhere. Instant mashed potatoes and couscous can be rehydrated with cold water. Rolled oats are cooked in processing and can be eaten without additional cooking. Ramen noodles are precooked and can be eaten like a large cracker.

If I need to camp in bear country, I'll pitch my shelter and eat before I reach the place I'm going to sleep. I won't eat where I sleep. I'm most careful of this in grizzly country.
