I've got one of those portable Coleman bottle propane camping stoves.
Sold out here, but the model
And 4 bottles of propane, from what I understand, should last quite awhile cooking rice (low flame).
Not super duper prepped, but we also have a fire pit and wood, so I'm not totally sweating it.
I'm not a prep expert, but I researched this to my satisfaction and was comfortable with my decision. Price was a factor for me, if it's not for you you could spend more for something better. This is adequate. I'd also get more cannisters if you're unable to do an outdoor fire.
No problem. Looks like there are some other suggestions in this thread as good if not superior to what I recommended. Pinging you to remind you to double-check. u/ivermectinpepe had one that's making me second guess my choice (a bit). And I want to say I spent ~$10 a bottle of propane. It was quite awhile ago. I forget.
Perhaps his stove takes smaller bottles... Not sure.
Was kind of bummed that the water filter recommended here was around $400. 👀 Again though, we have a fire pit and typical Brita filters so I'm not sweating it too much. However you may want to research more simplistic, camping oriented filter systems. They're relatively cheap I think, but when I checked at Bass Pro it was difficult to determine the quality and TBH, I forgot I even looked until this thread. 😂
God Bless
The Berkey water filters are terribly expensive, but very good. Sawyer makes some less expensive ones, they last for an incredibly long time, but they only filter particulates and do not neutralize chemicals. A charcoal filter is typically used to neutralize most chemical impurities. You can actually make your own charcoal filters using, you guessed it...wood charcoal from a wood fire. There are resources online that detail how to make water filters using sand and wood charcoal. These are very effective and useful. A lot of the commercial water filters use coconut hair for their charcoal, but that is not needed for a diy water filter made from a 5 gallon poly bucket from home depot or lowes. Make sure to use the white food grade bucket to eliminate any leaching of polymer chemicals. If you need me to link some articles, I can, but there are a multitude on this topic on the internet.
