I live at my bug out site...so Im most of the way there..
And prayer is the only thing keeping me going these days.
I just want to be able to get water and have enough power to run a shower and small fridge if the electric goes out for any period of time.
In the past years, every time a deer broke wind, the power went out for 2-4 days. I discovered that the main comfort factor is being able to have a drink of water, wash your hands and go to the bathroom.
If you have that, the other things arent so daunting..
I discovered my priorities during an ice storm when we were without power for 8 days and couldn’t get out because the road was blocked. In this order (1) hot coffee (2) hot shower (3) everything else.
My new house is equipped to provide both without electricity. Propane tankless water heater with a gravity-fed tank when the electricity goes out to the well pump. Hand pump to replenish tank from rain-fed cistern. Works great.
Am currently all set for the up-coming winter ice-storm with a kerosene space heater, butane stove, and water tank with siphon. This won’t provide a hot shower (I’m not moved into my new house yet), but if you have all the other stuff having dirty hair isn’t that bad.
