If the grid went down for two weeks, how confident are you about keeping food from spoiling and staying warm? Curious what overlooked “little” things people have found essential during extended outages. Any tips for managing without a generator?

Keeping food cool is my top worry, honestly. I use lots of canning, and root cellar storage for veggies and eggs, so I’d be okay for a bit, but milk and meat are tricky. For warmth, layers and wool blankets get the job done, plus I keep a stash of candles and hand warmers. People often forget about water—storing enough for washing as well as drinking is tougher than it sounds. Anyone have good tricks for cleaning up without running water?
