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 🙃

    I think I’d be able to macgyver enough to get by for some weeks

    The only prepper thing I have is an alcohol camping stove.

    I have ~250Ah worth of charged lead-acid batteries in the garage. The only way to charge them would be my car.

    I have a 50 liter compressor fridge/freezer that runs off 12V. It draws maybe 4Ah, so perishables would do fine.

    Heating is en electric heat pump, so that’s a no go. I have an inverter ready to hook up to the circulation pump to keep pipes from freezing. The Mrs has an obscene stash of tea candles, so I guess I’d pop some of those under some radiator pipes to heat that circulating water.

    The water tower in town would dry out in a day or two. We’ve got a well with our neighbours for watering, but it’s drinkable. I’d have to borrow the inverter for the pump to fill up jugs.
