    I bought all food that can be eaten cold if necessary, and none that uses water. I figured a gallon of water per person per day so we're good for at least two weeks, more if we're careful. Next on my list is a propane stove.

    Also get the adaptor hose to use a 20# propane bottle, the little bottles don't last very long.

    I don't know the right word for it, but some places sell a "turkey frying kit" that includes the pot, 'stove', etc. and it appears to be intended for outdoor use (for obvious reasons). I don't eat turkey, but came across someone that bought the whole ensemble just for the pot and was tossing the 'stove' aspect, unused. This stove hooks up to a standard propane tank and for all intents/purposes, is a fantastic outdoor stove/burner. I presume they are somewhat inexpensive but have not purchased one myself as I lucked into one that was being discarded in spite of being brand new.

    Try any of the big box outdoor stores, as well as walmart, for starters. Check inventory and item #'s online, then make a few calls.

    these guys will also sell an adapter to refill your little tanks off the big ones. Which is technically illegal to do I think

    This ^^^^^. I have both propane and white gas stoves. about 4 gal of gas sealed but it is mainly for the Coleman lantern for outdoor use. Propane does not go bad and I have some put away.

    The seal in the valve is susceptible to shrinkage in extreme cold temperatures, and can leak. Do not store indoors or near open flames such as pilot lights or sparks from power tools or you could end up having a disaster like the Challanger Space Shuttle.............

    You can get by with a half gallon in moderate temps and having baby wipes for cat baths
