Emergency Kit: Solar Shower and Camp Stove
October 15th, 2007
The camp stove was brought from K-mart for $23. Since then, it is possible to pick them up for $15 at various sales. I picked up the gas cartridges during an Aldi sale for $5-6. This is mostly for use in a short term emergency such as a power outage. Should a greater emergency occur, other plans will have to be in place.
This solar shower was less than $10. It hasn’t been used, yet is there in an emergency. I have been toying with using just this rather than my regular shower and possibly turning the gas off. I wouldn’t do that however due to the severe frosts we get in the middle of winter. I’m not sure its worth the $30 saving a year in gas, but is there.
