You can also use apps like WAZE to see what open and where the backups are

I wanted one of those Swiss stoves so badly a few years ago! The local surplus store brought some in and I debated and debated. I've never regreted not buying it, but sometimes, like today when I read this post, I wish I had. LOL!

I-10 was completely opened yesterday morning. I'll drive through to Houston tomorrow. The scenery should be interesting.

My GHB and a 96 hour kit are maintained in my truck. In a bug-out situation, I'll fill the back of the truck, close and lock the FG lid and then wait to see how the fire progresses. The front of the truck is for me and stuff I need day-day.

I've done this drill for real more than a couple times and never needed to bug out. It's a good drill though so I'll do it again. Lots of fuel out there with a couple months left in fire season.

You can always make a hobo stove and modify it to take a burner. A hobo stove is a 1 quart tin can with the top removed and openings either drilled or punched with a churchkey around the top and bottom of the sides. You feed in twigs and whatnot and it burns impressively hot. Cut an opening at the side bottom big enough for a 45 minute Sterno can or an alcohol burner and Bob's your uncle.
