I just need to think of various means to boil water. And acquire water. Well, I have some techniques. I can build a fire and hoof it to the creek. I want ALTERNATIVE heating method. Like the Coleman stove and drain the hot water heater. And a dozen other methods in my tool kit.
Get five 50gallon hot water heaters and plumb them in series. Put them in line with your homes water main and your regular use of water in the house will keep them fresh. A simple Colman propane stove is good for boiling water. Get about 10 propane tanks for gas grills. A gas grill will also be handy for the occasional cat or neighbor you need to grill...

Alcohol stove. Quiet, cheap, light, cheap fuel that stores very well and it can be used in confined spaces safely. Lots of videos on use and fuel choices.
