Hi Emma,
Im not sure what is your exact situation but it might be good idea to get some leisure battery - same as they use for motorhomes or campers and some small solar panel(100W or similar) that would help a lot in short term....other option and i think its quite good is to get a LPG gas bottles, you can get a generator that works of that...a small cooker and also heater....it costs a bit of initial set up but i think its worth to have.....
you would never know how long power will be gone....and i also think that internet is not essential....maybe battery power or crank up radio sure but i would consider to think what is essential to leave if there is no power......
stock up some candles some dry food that is easy to prepare maybe only with boiling water....go to camp shop and see what the option they have.....
Peace and love!
In Lak'ech!
Hi Crypto Paddy
Thanks for your comment. These are all very good suggestions and the solar panel was one that I was looking at but I want a mobile one that can travel with me that isn't affixed to the house. Generators are very expensive here, they are also very noisy and with the rising cost of fuel will probably be very expensive to run, so I would like to get as many things off solar as possible.
That's just the problem with a power down scenario, you never really know how long it might be out for and with the impending issues we face globally, entire grids might fail if the war between Russia and Nato continues.
I've been stocking up on dry goods when possible as I know that's important but I'm still a far way off from being as prepared as I would like. Each day is an opportunity to get more prepared, if not physically, then at least mentally.
Thanks for stopping by.
