Cooking stoves

      Cooking stoves are a common-place item when it comes to camping. They are a convenience that many don’t think twice about. But, what would you do without your home stove in the case of an emergency? Could you start a fire to cook your stored food?
       Having a cooking stove around in the case of emergencies is a good idea. While it may seem that having a fire would work just as well. There are a few reasons to invest in a cooking stove in the case of emergencies.
      While the common miss-conception is that a camp fire is inexpensive; this simply isn’t true. Where will you find dry, clean wood to burn every night? While it is possible to buy firewood, it usually ends up being more expensive then a cooking stove. Not to mention the safety involved in cooking your food over an open-fire.
       Storing a cooking stove with your food and water storage is a great idea. Not only are you able to cook with it, you can help to increase your drinkable water supply in the case of an emergency. This is an investment of a lifetime!
