Got a milk cow, chickens and three bags of flour left (not 5 lb bags either).. Sugar, water (well) and a genset for running the well if need be. We don't worry about being food less or heat less. Last year the nice folks up the road saw lights on in our house. Came over and asked how. Uhhh Gen set.. The whole area was with out power for a week. We told them head home get a change of clothing.. They stay a few days then went to stay in town at his cousins place. He never drained water from his house lines.. all froze.. lots of folks around here had major problems.. My wood stove never stopped burning (like it ever does). As far as wood consumption this year. I have used a cord. We had a wonderfully late fall.. and its been really warm (45f) amazing..
