4 Days Camping - No Cooler

Me and my family of four went back country camping for four days and five nights. Backpacked and canoed to an island where we stayed for the entire time with no cooler.
We purchased no food that would spoil without a cooler. We pumped our water from the lake and lived cooler free. This saved so much weight and space in our packs and canoe we could take less trips and saved time and money.

I missed the camping food contest. Help me win something from the survival contest.
