Must eat well
To avoid some inconveniences during a prolonged power outage, providing a supply of non-perishable food can be invaluable. Cans will do, but freeze-dried pouched meals used on expeditions have a long shelf life, are easy to store, and are usually very nutritious. If you have a camp stove, keep it handy and not in the backpack in the back of the shed.
A valuable and effective kit
It also helps maintain a good supply of drinking water. Two liters are required per person per day. Add to your gear a manual can opener, a battery operated radio with spare batteries, at least one flashlight, some candles and don’t forget a lighter or matches. A comprehensive first aid kit is a good thing to keep up to date, especially when travel becomes difficult, such as during a storm, or communications are limited, such as during an extended outage.
the fire out
Your BBQ can be used to cook food, but outdoors! Never indoors, whether coal or gas. Under no circumstances should a grill be used as additional heating. Not from smoke, but from carbon monoxide, which is completely odorless and very dangerous.
Everything has an end
Finally, disconnecting your electronic devices during a power outage could save them from a power surge when service resumes. We can just leave a few lights on to know when power will be restored. Keep in touch with your neighbors to find out if they have electricity. It would be stupid to camp in the living room for two days because of a stupid circuit breaker problem.
