What’s better for cooking pizza– a pizza stone or stone oven?

My plan is to make authentic italian pizza, more tasteful than what the fast food franchises can make. They say the trick to doing this is owning a stone/brick oven because the surrounding stone walls flavor the pizza as well as help to insulate and preserve the flavor. However, they go for thousands of dollars. Will a simple $40 pizza stone have the same effect on my pizza? Or is it more worth it to splurge on a cumbersome pizza oven (only to be in use once a month or so)?

canning or drying fruit (and veggies)?

To store fruits and veggies, which is the better option, canning or drying? Does one store easier or longer than the other? Does one preserve more nutrients than the other? Are dried foods easy to use in cooking?

Cooking or Survival skills?

I have to choose activities for camp and I can’t decide. I have always wanted to learn to cook, and my mom is an amazing cook (amateur), but learning from her I feel too much pressure. However, the survival skills class sounds really fun. You learn to use trail markers, camouflage, practice building fires with just one match, and learn about edible plants. What should I choose? (just in your opinion)
