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.
I can dig that.
Without reading anyone elses posts, and im new at this so go easy
1. Secure all food items to their safe keeping temps, using a cooler or twelve, and if in a snowstorm, use the snow for cold keeping
2. My wife is a Candlemaker by hobby, we have an abundance of candles, lighting wouldnt be an issue.
3. Seal off drafty areas to conserve what heat is left
4. Use an alcohol, or pop can stove to prepare food, or to heat water for bathing, although it really isnt a necessity.
5. Use an alternative method of heat. I.E. Kerosene
6. Wrap fish tanks in blankets to conserve their heat.
7. Dress in layers and use remaining said blankets for warmth otherwise not given by kerosene heaters
8. Take all my wife's spare change in poker games to kill boredom.

The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes.
