I was lucky to grow up in a rural setting with parents that were preparedness minded. Wood for redundancy for heating the house. We’d have extended power outages for 2-3 days following snow storms, and we would all drag our mattresses into the living room where the fireplace was. We would cook all our meals in the fireplace on a grill or in a pot suspended by a chain. If we needed groceries, Dad had a sled with a hitch behind the snowmobile and could whip into the village. Never skipped a beat, and we only had two TV channels so it was rarely missed.
