We have a two burner coleman stove and a on burner coleman back pack stove from our days camping when we were young, but I have never liked using propane or storing it.
So I use sterno primarily for coffee or soup. If I was going to cook noodles, in an emergency, I would heat the water to boiling, add the noodles, simmer a bit. Cover and Remove from heat and wrap a towel around or blanket around it and stick it in the non-working oven to kinda finish up. Then reheat as needed before eating. Or you could put them in a thermos to finish cooking.
For beans, soak them before hand, which will reduce the cooking time too. I also don’t like using a pressure cooker, though I have had a few before the advent of the Micro Wave. I may get one to store on the shelf just in case.
My daughter is getting a fire pit grill, bag of charcoal, a generator and a 5 gal bucket full of ingredients to make laundry soap. last time i saw her i gave her #10 cans of oatmeal milk rice n beans plus calcium hypochlorite to purify water.

One minor suggestion: if you want a warm meal after dark, do your cooking during the daylight hours and pour boiling water and noodles or soups into a thermos and seal it up to eat later. This greatly reduces your ‘detectability’ which occurs if cooking after dark. Also, there are two quart pressure cookers now readily available. Always stay at or below half full when using them, and beware of ‘expanding’ foods in a pressure cooker ... you can easily stop up the main steam relief valves.
Yugo M57 Tokarevs are $179 with two mags at Widener’s right now. I bought two and have cleaned them up and found them to be in great shape. Shoots the 7.62 x 25 cartridge, accurately.
Costco sells 50 lb bags of bread flour for $16. Make biscuits. Keep the leftover $80.
BTW, the 10 round mags for the 995 work in the C-9 pistols, too. One ammo and one supply of mags for both handgun and carbine.

Good information to know. Thanks!
1. Water purification tabs repacked to fit the container

Make your own out of coffee cans using tin snips and church key.
Of course, if you have another hundred or so to spend, the KelTec sub2000 in Glock, with a Glock handgun to accompany offers the same benefit. I reccommend the 40SW in Glock 22 or 23 configuration. The 30 round mags from Glock or KCI (Korean) will work in both handgun and carbine. In a pinch, the Glock 40 cal and 9mm mags can be interchanged, with a slight crimp of the feed ramps going from 40 cal to 9mm and slight spread going from 9mm to 40 cal. The frames of the pistols are the same size, with the barrels being the differnce.
I can’t pay **attention** at this point.
Worst-case scenario, thyroid medication is dried pig thyroid. It is possible to make your own, although the dosage might be iffy. I do know there are rare cases where bovine thyroids got ground up into hamburger along with the neck meat, and caused temporary hypothyroidism in people who ate it.
A 98'er is a leftist? That's stretching it.
Not trying to start a argument here, but you wouldn’t stay and fight for America, or it’s values, so I’m assuming you wouldn’t stay and fight for where you live now...
So my quetion is....”Why should we listen to you?”
“you wouldn’t stay and fight for America, or it’s values”

Wow...first “dog in a manger” crack that I have had since Obozo was first anointed.
I did NOT LEAVE America. America left me.
I suggest that you study the American founding fathers.
Did they not escape their homelands, in search of a better life?
What are YOU going to do about what has happened to a once great country? Are you going to take up arms and fight?
I know, you will do absolutely nothing but become another slave of the Communist.
Over half of America has voted for a socialist state.
I am not interested in fighting the majority.
I am retired. I will live my few remaining years as I damn well like.....Go suck an egg.
bflr
Great list!
My only adds would be some thin stainless steel wire for snares, a disposable utility knife blade, and some tiny fishhooks.
