Camp stoves are preppy but nobody thinks crockpots are preppy. ( but they are! low power use, one dish to wash, cooks anything).
Prepping isn’t prepping without a hot hottub, tho (this is America after all and prepping is hard work). Like this one, which works without electricity and is sooo easy to copy:
Yea, what’s unique about this “It event” (a little paranoid prepper lingo, for those of you in Rio Linda) is that utilities should continue right through...so expecting to use a crackpot does make sense, at least to me.
