First a generator that can run the furnace plus an electric space heater plus fridge and freezer plus other small items as needed. I have gallon jugs of water for drinking, and non-potable water I store in old tidy cat plastic jugs for the toilet. Baby wipes for washing hands/bodies. (Saw recently someone recommend old laundry jugs for more non-potable water to wash hands, dishes, etc. So considering that) 2 camp style stoves that use the green propane bottles, plus a single burner that runs on butane, plus a solar stove. We have an airfryer, InstaPot, and slow cooker that we can use with the generator. Plenty of food, at least a months worth, probably more. A few oil lanterns. Extra fuel for everything. Also small rechargeable batteries I have for traveling to charge phones etc...but thinking about getting something bigger, maybe solar chargable. Also decided I need to add paper plates, plastic ware, etc to the stash.
