Unibrow McBritishguy shows you how to make a fire in the desert with sticks and such.

Lanny Henson designs some pretty neat stoves.

Here's one that cooks 7 liters of beans with just over a pound of wood.

It says something about how awesome that design is that I want one even though this guy manages to be an even worse salesman than I am.

[Requia ☣]

He's apparently never published complete designs for any of his unique stoves

I have a bunch of beercan stoves. They rock, and only take about a minute to make, with a pocketknife and a penny.

[Requia ☣]

His beercan burner looks pretty standard, its the fancy pots setups I want plans for.

This one in particular would be great for backpacking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sMG2PQ4emI

The first step is your physical conditioning.

The next is adjusting to predicted diet. For instance if you are going to store wheat, start using small amounts of ground, cracked, etc wheat in your diet. Otherwise you will have bowels of doom when you do start having to eat it.

The best way to do it is to simply eat what you store and store what you eat. It's also vastly more economical and your food bill will be ridiculously cheap if you learn to live off staple foods and cook everything from scratch.

I have no intention of storing anything.  If civilization and all the neat things that come with it (like painless dentistry, pennicillin, and deviant porn) go away, I'm going with it.

I will, of course, scramble and loot with all the other monkeys until someone tougher or luckier than me eats me, but that's just for cheap kicks.

Because, let's face it, if The Machine™ ever breaks down, life is going to SUCK for the few survivors.  Even if whatever it is kills off 80% of the population (not likely, humans are very hard to kill), that still leaves 60+ million people on the end of a pipe that no longer has any food going into it.  I don't want to see the way that ends, even if it does clear all the monkeys off of my planet.

It's not going to be Road Warrior, it's going to be Hobbes on crack, and in the end, there will be a few hundred thousand people left, tops, with no tools and no tools to make the tools.

Thats probably a reasonable way to look at it, but I don't want to die.
