Survival cooking during severe weather just got a whole lot easier with survivalist cooking equipment because there’s no doubt that it’s a challenge to cook during extreme weather situations.
So let’s pose this scenario: we’ll assume that you have no gas in your house. Or maybe you’re forced to bug out, which means camping outdoors.
It’s likely that the malls and stores are closed. You have no access to food other than your survival food supplies such as your Augason Farms Lunch and Dinner Variety Pail and/or your stock of food bars.
Survival cooking is usually minimal. You need to be able to boil water for drinking and to mix with some of your packet food. Even for instant noodles, you need boiling water.
• The most important piece of equipment you’ll need is a stove such as the Coleman Portable Butane Stove (with Carrying Case).
Ideally, you’ll also want to get a few extra canisters of butane fuel just so you have more fuel should you need it.
These stoves can be used both indoors and outdoors. If using indoors, do make sure you have a carbon monoxide alarm just to be safe.
• Let’s also not forget that the stove needs a lighter. While you could use windproof matches, your best bet will be to get the RONXS Lighter, which is both wind and splash proof.
• You’ll also need cooking utensils. If you’re indoors, you may consider using your usual utensils. However, this is not advisable.
It’s best to have a cooking utensil set that’s easily portable and kept just for survival situations.
• This 11-Piece Cooking Utensil Set & Water Resistant Case has everything you need to prepare your meals.
It’s very handy because if you need to leave the house immediately, you can just take the stove and the utensil set (which is in a bag) and go. No need to pack utensils individually.
• Since utensils alone are not enough, you’ll also need camping cookware such as Odoland’s 10-Piece Camping Cookware Mess Kit. You may also wish to get extra mess tins if you have several other family members.
With the equipment mentioned above, you’ll be more than able to prepare meals conveniently even if the gas in your house goes out or whether you’re indoors or outdoors.
• Besides this equipment, you’ll also need dishwashing liquid and a sponge to clean the cookware and utensils when you’re done. Cleanliness is especially important when preparing food outdoors.
• Remember that you should never leave your butane stove unattended when it’s being used.

- Do not keep it too close to your tent; and secure it, just in case strong winds blow.
- Have a separate area for cooking and it should be away from human foot traffic.

• If you’re cooking at night, make sure the place is well-lit so you can see what you’re doing. If the power in your house is out, or you’re outdoors and it’s late at night, do use a lantern such as the Vont Camping Lantern.
That’s all the hardware you really need for cooking. These items always ensure that you’re well-prepared for a crisis. Have food and water stocked up. You’ll never know when you need them. And these are cooking equipment no survivalist should be without, if you want to be in control of the situation.
