Start by buying those two. You just need to calculate the amount of dirt you want on top but most likely timber frame would be fine. I'll be pouring concrete walls on mine and doing natural timbers for main beams with 2x4 cross slats hidden above a canvas or cotton, modified version of this http://www.simondale.net/hobbit.htm. Will be strong enough for the 3-4 feet of dirt I'll need above. Don't do tires or put garbage in your mortar like earth ship advocates suggest or papercrete.
Edit: whisperlite camp stove from MSR is what I use backpacking, will run on anything but I don't know that I'd want to use it everyday. Get a couple burner camp stove and use your wood stove in the winter to cook.
Are you trying to hide completely in a hole? More info on what you're trying to accomplish would help
Please do not use those green disposable bottles. If standard 20lb tank is too big invest in a 5lb tank. It will last a lot longer and be much cheaper in long run, and you are also not filling up landfills with those green bottles.
Instead of adapter hose you can use one of these. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001DC5HAW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
5lb tank with a dist tree w lantern on top still leaves 2 outlets for cooking and you always have a safe spot for the lantern. Great setup!
Books and videos are great, especially for learning about different building designs/methods, but I always recommend learning by doing. Volunteer on weekends with your local Habitat for Humanity for a while. Even if you don't end up working on every part you'll likely see others working on most of them and get a sense of how things are done. When you have that experience, dry in a small shed, which shouldn't take more than a week or two, and can then serve as a shelter while building the full cabin.
If you think you might end up working on it fully or largely alone, Working Alone by John Carroll has some good ideas.

There's a book called "Finding and Buying Your Place in the Country" that has a lot of good tips. Here's an Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Buying-Your-Place-Country/dp/0793141095
These Solar Light Bulbs ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B4YNM56/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_TO5ZBb7FYQV07 )
As well as a wireless data enabled game camera for security it texts me photos if people show up at my property. It’s a 25 mile road with no exits so if anyone messes with my cabin the plan is to call the Sheriffs and have them park at the entrance to the ridge road.
I looked at something like this. But I'm not sure yet.https://www.amazon.com/Progressive-Dynamics-PD4045KV-Mighty-Distribution/dp/B002XRU6FM?ie=UTF8&keywords=mighty%20mini&qid=1409800732&ref_=sr_1_6&sr=8-6
I saw this on solarbaby.org:

Seemed pretty pricey at almost $1200, but supposedly draws about as much as a laptop or an incandescent light bulb.
"Building the Timber Framed House" is one of the best books out there if you are up for some seriously difficult and time consuming builds. https://www.amazon.com/Building-Timber-Frame-House-Forgotten/dp/0684172860
Brief overview:

The relevant standard below. Good detail on what to look out for, but being a standard, it's not very reader-friendly.

Both of these are Australian, so the timber species' and climate considerations will be different. Also termites might not be an issue where you are, but look into it.
This is a more user-friendly resource.

Problem you will run into is that it will need a pilot light or electric start, I don't know of any units super small ones but this one is about the smallest I could find that has a thermostat
As far as your phone charging goes, a lot of car chargers can handle 12-24V input.
Ex.

When dealing with 12-24v most of the stuff you lookup will be for cars so usually easiest to see examples of people setting up inverters or power connectors for speakers I have found.
Here are some examples of what I got for 12v internet equipment connection and seems to be a standard connector people use.
Now when dealing with inverters you need much larger cable in the 4-6awg range depending. Also you must use dc breakers as ac breakers do not work the same way.
