Pop Can/Homemade stoves
These work great. When I used to backpack I used a pop can alcohol stove a lot.

http://www.backpacking.net/makegear.html - scroll down to stoves (they've got 26 different designs). This is a great list of homemade back packing equipment, much of which is useful for survival. If you live somewhere other than summerless (at least this year) Seattle, a solar cooker can be a cheap renewable cooking source:

From the backpacking.net site:

Homemade food dehydrator. Of course you can just buy one for $40 nowadays at your local Warmart. |

As much as I hate that place (Warmart), you can get things like food dehydrators and vacuum sealers cheaper than almost anywhere else. When discussing warmart, I'm not sure which smiley is more appropriate,  or  |

Off hand I think I paid $40 for a vacuum sealer as well. My dehydrator was expensive and is old now, back when you used to have to spend $100+ for them. |

I had one as a kid. My brother and I would sleep in it, in the woods behind our parents house, all the time. |

I'll try this also. It's a cheap experiment and if it works good, I'll put it away for emergencies. |
