Man could do a lot with that list. Dried beans and knowing how to cook them are a whole lot cheaper than canned.

If you don't know how to cook dried beans, I'd be glad to give you some instructions.

Oh, please do. I remeber something about soaking afor eight hours and rinsing to avoid negative effects.

Thanks.

Looking over my list all I can think is; why don’t I ever use the editing function?

Anyway, any advise on a stove and/or water purification sysem?

But that depends on having clean water.

Dried beans only have a two year shelf life and you don’t know how old they were when they hit the store. They also need water and fuel. Canned beans last longer unopened, can be eaten cold and don’t take up water.

We have both and the means to crack or grind any old dried beans that won’t become tender. Also, a big mess of beans will feed a lot of folks, but if refrigeration is out or limited and there aren’t a lot of mouths to feed, they will go bad. So, you can make the case for either form or stock both.
