Good post for those who can afford it and need it, cold and heat need a lot of energy and if you have a family, then your experience expresses how they need to prepare.

I may buy a dual fuel camper version to feed my freezers for 3 days, other than that I can endure the lack of heat and cooling for myself.

For those timid souls worrying about a generator bringing the goblins, I guess they anticipate hiding in the dark and letting the world push them around, and if someone lives in a neighborhood where a simple 3 or 7 day blackout leads to an Alamo siege because you have a living room light on while playing board games with the wife and kids, then move for God’s sake.

Indeed - do you want to live in bandit country, or just don't like any of your neighbors? Making good friends locally to build a support group/clan/'gang' is better longterm option.
