I was looking at car camping. And i found out that I can get power pack for cooking/boiling water, that is very multipurpose for other things just camping. Def not usable for hiking, but car can take it, solar panel can charge it. No need to fumble with gas stoves.
- hollerith 2y agoThis guy lives in his van and he does what you describe: he has a big battery (lithium ion IIRC) that powers an induction hot plate for cooking/boiling water. (He also has a propane camping stove.) https://www.youtube.com/@forestyforest https://www.youtube.com/@forestyforest He's found that solar is not useful where he lives (Canada) so he replaced the alternator in his van with one that generates more power, and uses that to keep his big battery charged.
