We're pretty well prepared, but my husband is a life-long rural Mainer and I grew up on a farm in the NEK in VT so not our first go around. Wood is our primary fuel source so we always have heat and generator to run the well pump. As long as I have heat and running water I don't worry too much about anything else. We have an old wood cooking stove in the kitchen that we fire up a few times a year as well.

Beyond that, we grow and store/freeze most of our own fruits and vegetables and raise all of our own meat. We have a small root cellar for winter term storage (perks of a 200+ year old home.)

Other than prepping for heat, water, and food we live a pretty simple life and don't find that power outages impact us too much. It's a good time to put the plow on the tractor, grab a few shovels and go see if your neighbors need anything.
