Of course you would need to put your butt water into the elecric
kettle to boil it in case any larvae are in it,

What kind of larvae?

so if electricity
destroyed, what then, gas destroyed, what then? I know, I can
remember my mother cooking over a range, like a very old fashioned
Rayburn fuelled by wood.

We have plenty of wood with which to make a fire but I reckon that filtering
the water would make it usable.
