I'm absolutely shocked that none of you guys have said "I'M NOT COOKING ... THAT'S WOMEN'S WORK ... "
Women's work?.... That's a thing?

I have 400 pounds of charcoal. I keep buying the 2x20lbs. from Home Depot around the 4th and add to the collection! That and 4 extra propane bottles. After that, wood which is what everyone will have to turn to barring fossil fuels being available.
What do you guys think about people with wood pellet stoves/grills? Does that even make any sense?
Also, I believe the Rocket Stoves are going to be worth their weight in gold. Those things can run on all the scraps left over from trimming/cutting trees down for firewood. Enough litter falls from the trees each year to power a small on indefinately.

This type of grinder works just fine for what you are wanting. When the SHTF you won't care about how "fine" your flour is.

Also, if you are creative. You could build a grinding mill by using an old bike and a couple granite wheels. You can get scrap granite at any granite counter top company. There is one down in Glenpool called Eurocraft that has piles of "scrap" granite you can pick up cheap and have them cut you some grinding wheels.

You know, people around the globe used to "grind" flour and meal by hitting/grinding two rocks together... Might look into that
Its called a Mortal and pedestal.
Grist mills, etc.
I can take you to lots of low water dams that used water power for making flour, and they aren't that far away.
Native Americans use them to make flour. Not a lot of volume, but it does the job.

Ive got an MSR multi fuel stove, cast aluminum griddle, medium fry pan and a couple of pots with lids. Thats kinda my bug out mess kit.
Also got a wood stove and a few coleman stoves and a grill or 2. Have a xmas tree adapter for propane. So I can use small disposable ot lg tanks. Also got adapter to fill dispodable bottles from lg tanks.
Im really thinkin bout ditchin the fry pan n pots and using a small/medium wok....if I can find one with a lid.
