My camping trip showed me my cheap eats need work

I just got back from a five day hike in the national forest. Money was low, so I brought only basic stuff like oats and canned tuna. By day two, I was already tired of the same flavors. I tried cooking soup on a small camp stove, but it took forever. Snacks were just granola bars and apples. I felt hungry and bored with my food choices. What are your go-to meals when you're out in nature with little cash? I need ideas that are easy to pack and make.

Did the canned tuna get old fast for you too? I remember a trip where I vowed never to eat it again after day two.

Honestly, just some seasoning can fix boring camp food.

Remember that time we tried to get fancy with canned salmon? I think the bears were even offended by the smell.
