Re: when is enough
I'm partially self sufficient and prepping to a point that if needs be I can

Re: if shit hit the fan how will you be cooking!?
2 ring gas stove with grill couple of single gas burners lots of canisters
Small single gas ring, bbq , chimnea, and the old method a straw oven, will take a few hours to cook a Pot of stew
But it works well.
