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.
