Kerosene stoves.
These stoves are in common use in the Philippines. Combined with the box oven or a dutch oven and a
kerosene supply you are set

But what about water in your kerosene/diesel/gasoline?
I ruined a brand new generator during an extended
power outage because of water in the gas. THIS is the
solution!

Is life worth living without coffee? We buy a years supply
at a time in green beans here

Roasting coffee is an art and science. You DON'T want
to do it in the house, so this is the perfect opportunity
to get familiar with your new kerosene stove. It's like
popping popcorn. No Really! We do it on the stove top
with a whirley pop popcorn popper. Word to the wise.
Get the one with the steel gears. Trust me on that

Then you must grind the coffee. We grind a weeks worth
at a time, so FORGET the cute little hand grinders. Coffee
drinking is serious business and not to be toyed with. We
use our grain mill for the job

We dumped our microwave in our quest for simplicity.
It went right out to the curb along with our electric
toaster but I love toast in the morning. Who'd a thunk it?

My lawn mower is next. I still have one, but I'll never
use it again. Sometimes the old ways are better. Use
a scythe! Trust me, it's actually fun.
