I lived without electricity for 2 1/2 years in the Nevada desert, so I would just revert back to what I did then. In the begining we used oil lamps. In a few months we had a few small solar panels. We ran everything 12 volt. It can be an inconvenience, but you do get used to it. The cool thing was hearing about some major power outage on the news. If it wasn't for the news we would have never known it happened because our life was unaffected.
