Any Generators, Power Banks, Solar Panels, etc…?
Edit: So I’m gonna answer my own question. I’ll probably freak out and would have zero generators to deal with it. Heater is Gas, but I don’t know if gas would work during power outage. Cooking, well there’s a butane burner stove. I have 3 10000mah batteries, but they have 60% efficiency due to power loss during transfer, so its effectively 6000mah, enough to roughly charge my 5000mah battery once, 3 batteries is 3-4 charges. Then I’d be bored with zero entertainment, along with all the food melting and going bad, very not fun 🙃
We live in a large straw bale house in the country. We have a generator (and a dozen large gas cans which we rotate by filling our van then refilling the gas cans) which runs all the lighting circuits, the fridge and freeer, our propane in-floor radiant heat, water well, and our propane tanlkess DHW. We also have a wood stove in the center of the house that we can use to heat the house very effectively and more than a winter’s worth of good, dry hardwood in an enclosed wood shed. We have ample supplies of food and other necessities.
Durign major weather events we leave our front door unlocked and our friends and neighbors know that they can come, bringing bedding and just find an open couch or floor space.
We’ll be fine for a good long while

You built your house out of hay and people seek safety there? I’m getting real big bad wolf vibes and a trap situation from this.
Straw bale construction isn’t hay, and its characteristics will probably surprise you: https://www.familyhandyman.com/article/straw-bale-construction
Not hay, straw, but yes.
Jesus Marie, they’re minerals not rocks!
Hay is grass and other plants. Straw is the stems of cereal grains. Hay has substantial nutritional value and will rot. Straw is cellulose and won’t rot.
