Hey JR. I guess I was around 15 and we went through a hurricane and power was out for about a week. For warming up soup and such, I used a candle and a metal coffee can with holes punched around the bottom inch of the sides. Add a pot on top with the lite candle inside and it heated the soups fairly quickly. Since then I have multiple methods to cook inside, but never forgot that lesson. 👍

I have a medical condition. Every time a DIY prepper video pops up immediately press the thumbs up button without thinking about it.👍🏻 there is no known cure to mankind. Thanks for the video JR🇺🇸👍🏻

As an ex-avid backpacker I can tell you that eating a hot meal at least once a day is a huge help in keeping a positive attitude. We used to eat instant oatmeal and coffee for breakfast and then bagels, PB and Gorp for lunch. For dinner we'd eat another hot meal, usually something like Mountain House.

In my college survival class we had to make an alcohol stove out of a beer can, and then just used a coat hanger to make a grate to set the pot on. We had to use it on our weekend survival trip in our brush hut.

Hi JR. I do alot of cooking. I am the proud owner of a Harvest Right vacuum freezer. 2 + yrs. It really doesn't get much rest. My home is setup with propane. Not 1 but 4 extinguishers. I do have exterior cooking areas. I know about the air carrying the cooking smells. For all readers, keep getting into it, prepping that is. Stay vigilant and informed. JR does a super job.

I have several professional level chaffers because I cater events once in a while as a hobby. Two smaller round ones, and one large domed one. I also have three VESTA heater/stoves. I also have tea lights and use them for keeping butter melted, etc. Last May, here in the Rocky Mountains we had a very icy/snowy storm and lost power. Since I do have multiple cases of the canned heat for the first mentioned equipment I decided to pull one of my oven racks out, balanced it on 4 27 oz cans of tomato sauce. I was able to boil water and cook macaroni, and make up a box of Kraft macaroni and cheese for my grand kids. I put two cans of sterno under that pot. In another small pan I heated up a can of stewed tomatoes. We like them on our mac and cheese. For breakfast, I used my small omelette pan and made browned some brown and serve sausage links, then put in some hash browns to crisp in butter with a touch of olive oil. In my larger 15” skillet I scrambled eggs seasoned with herbs, and dropped in some fresh spinach leaves, then topped with shredded cheddar cheese. I happened to have a package of cinnamon rolls from the grocery store bakery so was able to heat those up in one of my round chaffers. We boiled water and brewed coffee in my French Press. Six of us, 2 seniors, two 40-something parents and two teenagers all enjoyed a wonderful breakfast, with orange juice. With a properly stocked pantry and fridge and freezer it pretty easy, and was kind of fun to make a delicious breakfast and lunch. I most always have crackers, cheese, deli turkey, and deli roast beef, raw veggies and fresh fruits when available. I am also getting ready to test out and practice baking in our domed butane grill…which is just outside of the sliding glass door….living in the Rocky Mountains at 8,600’ altitude we have long winters and we have 6 tanks. I am going to cancel soups and stews so that all we have to do is warm them up. I do have soups in a jar. I am also starting out with commercially canned soups so that I have open and heat soups and stews to get us through, if needed.

Hi jr, you and city prepping are the only two prepping shows I watch now. And neither of you bring politics in the show and I am so thankful for that.

That little ecoflow, kept my, refrigerator and freezer, running in a pinch.

I have a fondue pot to heat up most of canned foods.

I plan to make some olive oil burners to use. Three cats and if they get knocked over, the fire just goes out. I also have alcohol burners too. I do plan to get a butane stove!

Thank you for the review/roast of that cooking lantern. The cold front had everyone running out to buy winter supplies, and it felt so good to know that this year, we're squared away in case of another crazy storm in Texas.

I have found that 5 wick candles do a good job heating food.

I’ll be cooking on the new wood burning stove my husband just finished installing just yesterday. Prepping dreams coming true one day at a time.

Best, most informative , user friendly ideas on the web! Thanks so much for your great channel, especially for those of us who truly need help with being prepared in the most useful ways possible with alternatives. 5 star ⭐️

New to your channel, just subscribed. Great content, concise delivery, and no politics. Thank you!

Firehand lanterns are awesome. I have two from WWII and two modern ones, no leaks at all. I use Tiki oil in them.

Thank you JR for another great video. I have purchased several cooking methods from your list. Appreciate you so much. God bless you, my fellow Texan.

Yay J.R. I just got my 3 candle uco, two new wool blankets and my base layers from venture, so of course it's 80 and we're sleeping with the windows and doors open 😂😂😊

Thanks JR, butane camping stoves are my favourite. Probably the best for opsec as well. Thanks again buddy.👍🏻
