15. Highly recommend a thermal cookpot

It's like a combination of a slow cooker and a giant thermos. You heat the food over a fire or camp stove until it is boiling, then slide into the thermal cooker where it finishes cooking using retained heat in 3-5 hours, depending on the food. I've used it for beans, soups, stews, ribs, etc.

I originally got mine for camping. Heat water at night, have hot water in the morning. It works well for almost any type of food that you would bring to a boil in liquid.

This is the one I use

Good list, but the peanut butter will spoil somewhat after a while. Be sure to rotate it. SWBTATTReg Apr 5 #5
I buy natural peanut butter by the case. We promptly go through it and I refrigerate in summer. hlthe2b Apr 5 #8

Good list. Have same list that you do, have it stocked too. This is sort of a survivalist's list, in short. Sort of a SWBTATTReg Apr 5 #7
