I have too many stoves to list but my favorite for a survival scenario is my home made wood burning stove. It is a "Wood Gas" style stove with a Campbell soup can nested inside a one quart paint can. I made the vent holes using a church key. It cost less than five dollars including the soup. Because of the tendency for the bottoms of the pots and pans to blacken, I keep the stove and a cheap stainless mess kit together. Titanium will clean up OK if you decide to use it over wood or other natural fuel.
I also keep an alcohol stove in the kit which will fit in the paint can with the soup can removed, utilizing the paint can as a pot support and wind screen for the stove. This setup is also competitive in weight because you don't carry the fuel unless dry fuel is not available in the environment.
There are natural fuel stoves available commercially and many are nice.

I use a titanium pot with a home made woodgas bushbuddy stove. U can use a heinekan can. its light and works well. You need a side can opener though so u can reuse the lid. I mainly boil water to put into freezer bags or make noodles and coffee. u can cook on the fire with foil or a stick

I got a Coleman mess kit from Walmart that suits me fine. I also have a Trangia alky stove and a pocket cooker for if the fuel runs out. If I bring an ice chest for food Ill pack a skillet and propane cooker with pot for shrimp etc but packing in or kayaking the small set does fine, I just aint eating as good.
