Backpacker cooking gear for home use also?

This may sound like a crazy question but let me explain

I'm trying to simplify my life, declutter, and live a
more Bohemian lifestyle. I've gotten rid of a TON of
things..... big furniture, appliances, etc.

Basically anything that can't be folded up or broke
down and moved in a small sedan car I don't want to own
anymore.

Here is reason:

I may be going back to college at age 48. I'm single
with no kids. Hence....I want to be like a "gypsy" as
far as possessions.

I may also be moving to Hawaii and living in a yurt for
awhile. No kidding! So everything I own must fit is
several bags or backpacks.

But I still want possessions that can also be used in a
typical apartment with range, fridge, etc

Having said that..... I want to know if backpacker cook
sets can also be used in a reg apartment stove such as
if I'm living in a condo in Hawaii

Why? Cheap crappy cookware etc. are available everywhere, just give
them away or sell them when you're done, you'll spend less than buying
high quality multi-use stuff, get more appropriate stuff to what you
use and be completely free of it when you leave.

I'm homeless, I can fit everything I own in my car, despite hoarding
books, but I own no cookware at all at the moment other than my good
knife, when I left my last place I simply gave the rest to friends.

yes you keep the travel stuff, you just also get cheap non-travel
stuff for when you have a base - you never give away the travel stuff.

I have an Optimus Nova. They make great stoves. You shouldn't use
camping stoves inside.

You might be able to find a discount he

They run on white gas, and some other fuels also. I believe that white
gas is best.

Roger on not using stove inside

I wouldn't do that

I would use the camping cook set inside on a reg
electric stove tho
