Any Generators, Power Banks, Solar Panels, etc…?

Edit: So I’m gonna answer my own question. I’ll probably freak out and would have zero generators to deal with it. Heater is Gas, but I don’t know if gas would work during power outage. Cooking, well there’s a butane burner stove. I have 3 10000mah batteries, but they have 60% efficiency due to power loss during transfer, so its effectively 6000mah, enough to roughly charge my 5000mah battery once, 3 batteries is 3-4 charges. Then I’d be bored with zero entertainment, along with all the food melting and going bad, very not fun 🙃

    Probably indefinitely, as long as there was food and a source of unfrozen water that can be purified. I’ve gone camping in temperatures down past -20f for days on end. The cold sucks, but will not kill you as long as you’re dressed for it, have a sleep system/shelter to keep you warm, and have enough food to fuel your body. Fuel/fire is downright luxurious in the cold, but not strictly necessary unless you have inadequate insulation from the cold and your body can’t keep up with the heat loss.

      Same here. I have cold weather sleeping bags and appropriate clothing. I’ve got light weight cooking gear and water purifiers. I’ll be grumpy but otherwise fine.

        Until you run out of food and the region has been overhunted/fished/foraged. This is why I need to expand my garden and do more indoor hydroponics. Last year we started growing sprouts and herbs and it was awesome but we’ve been lazy this year.

        Sprouts are an excellent sandwich topping btw, way better than lettuce. We were doing alfalfa and mung beans (lol, mung).

          In that situation, calories per person is what will count. Sprouts are nice but aren’t going to do the job. Grains, root vegetables, and meats will count.

      Yeah as long as we can retain access to food and water we’ll survive. But if either of those stop we’re going to die and basically can’t do anything about it.
