Bug Out Cooking Options - Best Portable Stoves
What kind of options are out there?
What I'm thinking of is for a get home bag (or bug out bag) - something packable that won't take up much space.
Something for emergency use.
The only cooking I've ever done outside the home is a hot dog on a stick over a fire, or cooking breakfast on a Coleman 4-burner propane camp stove.
I don't even know what other types of stoves are available.
I've seen some vids with these teeny-tiny, folding gizmos, but don't really know where to start researching them.
I know there are multiple fuel types, but I don't know what they are.
Here's what I'm working with to cook IN.
I just need a heat source to cook with it!
I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

Wife and I hiked the first 500 miles of the AT back in 2010. We started training with this stove because it can take different fuel types including Coleman fuel or unleaded gasoline. Hated it, heavy and such a pain in the ass to get started and burning hot, but once it was heated up and burning, worked fine. After a few weeks, gave up on it. Still got it.

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.

This is what I'm currently using for backpacking. Grab a fuel canister from Walmart and your good for a week or so. Super light and takes up almost no space. In fact, with the small fuel canister, it and the stove will fit inside your pot.
Another option would be to make an alcohol stove. Might be easier to find fuel in a shtf for that one if need be. Google "cat can backpacking stove" and you should find plenty of tutorials on how to make one.

Re: Bug Out Cooking Options - Best Portable Stoves
I have used one of these stoves with good luck. One issue would be in a heavy rain season it might be tough to find dry firewood/sticks.

Re: Bug Out Cooking Options - Best Portable Stoves
A stove is just added weight in a bug out situation. A small amount of sticks and a good lighter is your best option.

I remember Nutnfancy did a good review of survival portable stoves a few years ago:

If you do a search on his channel he's got other reviews as well.

A small alcohol stove is hard to beat for basic hiking/survival cooking. Fuel is compact and easy to transport, and in a pinch you can make one from a soda can, which works surprisingly well.
