I need ideas for lunch food

 I go through this every year or so: I'm bored of my current lunch option and I need to figure something else out. 

Here's the problem: I may or may not have access to a microwave or refrigerator and I don't know until the morning of if I will. Sometimes I leave the office to go out to the field part way through the day and so can't heat something up. I like to have lunch planned for the week ahead of time. 

Here's the other things: Salads are terrible and I will not eat them. I don't like leafy greens, raw tomatoes, onions. Even "salads" that are a mix of fruit and vegetables that I like aren't good because they aren't filling. I'm usually hungry within an hour. I highly dislike mayo and vinegar based things. 

I usually eat fruits and veggies as snacks through the rest of the day along with granola bars and crackers and things like that.

So here's some things I do eat: sandwiches with cheese/dried beef (only lunch meat I'll eat because warm lunch meat is disgusting), sandwich with PB&J, mashed potatoes, boiled potatoes with cheese, cornbread with cheese/dried beef, and I'm trying to think if there's anything else. I usually rotate between these every couple of months. 

It has to taste good at room temperature. Does anyone have any ideas?

Oh, goodness, that's excellent. You could make your own ham!

Pemmican is mostly a drying problem; bulk lean meat drying is work. Tasty, tasty work, but work.
