Our electricity has gotten more reliable on our street than when we lost power for a week. We heat with wood, we have access to the stream to get water for the toilet, and we did fine with stove top cooking. We are closer to getting a generator to put all our headaches to rest. Getting too old to haul water... and chop wood.... may have to let the wife do it all... she's younger than me!!
(And no, she doesn't come on the Forum. Phew!!!!)
