My family used to have one of those! Where we lived, if the power went out in winter, it would stay out for at least a couple of weeks. We used to 'camp' in our living room to stay warm and melted snow on top of it to flush the toilet.

Why would your toilets stop working if the power went out?

If you are on a well, when the power goes out the water pressure does too.

Exactly this. Being out in the country also meant we were last on the priority list for power restoration. When a bad storm hit we would drain the water lines so pipes wouldn't freeze, so lots of just having to make it work with what we had.
