You know you really are not thinking of the wide variety of preppers here and what they are prepping for. This little stove weighs only a few pounds. Most of them come in a carrying case. If I lose power down here in Florida due to storms I am not going to be building a fire out in the yard to make coffee or cook rice. Also even BBQs can be a pain to deal with for, like I said above the boiling water frying egg thing. Not to mention as she points out in the video a small stove can be a little more stealth.

Shelter in place is a thing.

If you wanna go full on out inawoods and build yer smoke signal fire go on ahead.
