I have some things, no tent. The boy is interested in survival things so I buy or he buys some things that could be used in such a situation. There is a part of me that wants to buy some large tarps. They can be used for so many things but thinking how they can be fashioned into tents if the need arises. Or put over a tent that you already have to deflect rain in case it seeps into the tent material. Also good for a lean-to shelter but not into that much due to my father being in a manic phase taking us camping on snow one December when I was 7 years old. He stayed up all night stoking the fire but my sisters, myself and mother were trying to sleep. My sisters slept in the middle and stayed warmer than me and mom did. I shivered all night and we had a single wool blanket to cover us all and it didn’t cover the edge well. Not a good memory and he woke us up and made us go to school the next morning, it was on a school night. 😖
I have a rocket stove, a Coleman oven to go over it or another fire, rocket stove accessories such as a large pot with a tight lid, a coffee maker, small pans to go into the Coleman oven, and some other things I could use camping. The rocket stove can burn a variety of fuels so in an emergency situation I can use it at home, have a covered cart full of dry branches that will fit in it.

@cherokeepatti Another trick is to soak the kindling with cheap store brand cooking oil because the oil burns off first before the wood.

@NativePortlander1970 smokes bad and smells bad though. I do have some canola oil that can be used for that though.
@cherokeepatti True, it has to be a neutral oil like canola to prevent the smell.

Not anymore. I used to go camping with the ex, but it isn't safe for a lone woman to go camping. I still thought I might try it at one time, and sleep on a specially designed air mattress in the back of my car...but I was too chicken to go alone.
I've got the new air mattress...and my original camping air mattress, and the lanterns and my lawn chair, and the ropes and tarps, but had no room to store the coleman stove. I kept the silicone mat that you can place over the grates on campsite campfires, and the long tongs, but I didn't keep the tent, the 5 gallon water container, the sleeping bag or any of the little aluminum pots and pans and coffee maker and the other stuff.

@cherokeepatti I do like things rough. It makes me feel alive. 😂

@ArishMell Sadly I understand. In the motorhome we usually go out for anywhere from one to seven weeks at a time. This past year and a half my wife's health has either kept us home or limited to three or four day trips close to home. Two weeks ago she was diagnosed with cancer so I am sure that will seriously limit our travels even more now.
