    But can I ask.....why do you think you need one in a bug out bag? Are you planning to stop on occasion and brew a cup of tea? When backpacking you don't just have a stove, you have to have the food too, and water, and accessories like extra fuel, eating utensils etc.... that takes up a lot of room. Look at a backpacking site and see what the usual weight percentage of the cooking supplies you need. Its significant and it will be hard to fit in a daypack. You can go a few days without food so I would recommend just having some power bars and trail snacks. And if you think you might be stuck a day or two concentrate on water. Get some kind of small water purification system or some tablets.
    This will be the third time I've said it in this thread, including in the OP.
    Not for bugging out. Ignore the thread title. I knew that would be a mistake.

    I do have Clif bars and jerky.
    I have a Sawyer water filter.
    I always have some bottled water in the car year round.

    It's for a "get home"/emergency kit for the vehicle.
    It could be argued that I don't "NEED" to cook food or heat water just to "get home", but how about if I just WANT it "just in case"?

    I want one. Whether anyone thinks I need one or not.

    Edit:
    Also, items can be removed or kept in a separate bag and used or not used as desired. Just because I HAVE 30 lbs of gear in the car, doesn't mean I have to TAKE 30 lbs of stuff with me if I leave my vehicle to hike out on foot.

    If it were me, and not bugging out, I'd just cook on my woodstove. Granted, it's not very portable, but it's very effective.

    I'll get a wood/coal burning cook stove at an antique shop and keep it in the Trailblazer.

    Sounds like a plan. Make sure you pick up some fireboard and have at least a 6" flue. Someone here posted a deal on stove pipe a few weeks ago.

    I should also mention that your trailblazer could probably be modified to run off of Woodgas so at least you'd have a source of fuel for it when gas runs out.

    Then we switched to this stove and been using the same stove since Dec 2009. Used it a few weeks ago, no issue. Starts quick, burns hot, light weight, no hassle stove. Highly recommend it, but it's out of production but they have a new model now here. One issue, it's tipsy. Now 99% of the time we only use it to boil water with a kettle, but have used a small frying pan on it but not often.

    I've had an MSR WhisperLite stove for over 30 years. It's been with me on many hikes and camping trips over the years. The thing works great, but like you said, it's easily tipped over. Mainly because the hose is stiff, and the fuel canister is heavier than the burner. My canister is a cylinder, so it's even more awkward. But once you put something with some weight on it, the WhisperLite stays flat and stable. The wind deflector is a must, too.

    If you want cheap and easy look up Penny stove or alcohol stove. Plus the alcohol can be used for other stuff. REDCAMP Mini Alcohol Stove for Backpacking, Lightweight Brass Spirit Burner with Aluminium Stand for Camping Hiking https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0794NZXZG...ing=UTF8&psc=1
