Vegetarian/vegan hotdogs are great for this, since they can last fine without refrigeration for a decent amount of time. When I was a kid my parents would always pack them when we went camping, take a packet out of the freezer on the way out, pop in one of those soft cooler bags, by lunchtime they're thawed and good to go, and if you have any left, they'll still be good for dinner! No cooking should be needed (always double check the packet though), just some condiments, or even a tin of baked beans to make a meal of it.
If you're camping you should have a fire and vegan dogs cook great that way. Sometimes some bubbling of the exterior depending on the brand but that adds texture.
Not before you get to your destination (and sometimes there, too, if you're really disorganised), nor in the case of the person I was replying to, who just wants some purse hotdogs to eat on the go. So while I agree about the texture, sometimes you just have to make due with a pale hotdog lol
