Let’s move forward with our first May prep challenge which is to buy emergency cooking equipment in case you have a power outage. Perhaps organize camping cooking supplies this month. Or use your outdoor BBQ equipment more. These experiences are useful in emergencies too. Add a few family campouts or barbecues with friends this summer so you practice important emergency skills.
Buy Emergency Cooking Supplies
What makes sense for your family and home space? Watch a few videos for increased skill knowledge. Sales are happening everywhere on camping supplies. Here are a few supplies:
- A one-burner butane stove. About $35. Perfect for apartments and camping.
- A two-burner propane camping stove. About $85.
- A propane grill with side burner. About $260.
- A Volcano Stove. About $200.
Add Eating Supplies to Your 72-hour kit.
If you need to evacuate, have eating supplies in your 72-hour kit for the food you stored. Here are some useful ideas:
- A mess kit with eating utensils.
- Matches or small lighter.
- A backpacking stove and fuel if your food requires it.
You don’t have to get everything at once. Just add a few items and check something off your to-do list. I hope you find emergency cooking supplies that work for your family.
Best wishes and look for His light today,
