I want only portable devices like solar, and hand-crank chargers. I want to be able to boil water, charge my Laptop and phone, run my induction stove for a few minutes thrice a day, want it rugerdized at some point, and want to depend on my equipment for day to day life as preparation for having no support.
How am I doing so far? Did I waste money?
Seems you achieved the dream! Yes I’m mostly concerned about the cookers, and heaters. Even though the water only takes a minute or so to boil. I need at least some capability to do it, in order to start experimenting now. So I will see if I can find an appropriate, budget-friendly kit.
Maybe look into a biolite stove for cooking if you are doing cooking outside. You just need a small amount of wood to boil water or fry an egg or two.
You can either use scrap wood or tree branches off the ground, if you want a space efficient fuel then buy the wood pellets used as kitty litter or pellet stove fuel.
It has the bonus of charging electronics while it cooks you dinner. Make sure to have a long cord so your food doesn’t splatter on the screen.
