Yes I like the Idea of solar just not all the batteries... but we have a wood stove in our kitchen and it will heat the house to around 64 to 67 not really warm but plenty warm if you put on a sweatshirt and use a blanket , water is not a problem i use a gas gen to fire up the well and pump plastic food grade barrels full we keep 100 gallons will last a week even flushing the toilet. if it is yellow let it mellow and if it is brown flush it down so we do not flush every time. if SHTF we have a stainless casing bucket to use by hand just remove pump which we can pull by hand.
So heat to cook on and water are the basics we use candle lanterns and bees wax candles, did not really even miss the Tv but we have a 2000 watt lionenergy motorless generator that we charge when the well is running and we have solar panels for it it will run a 4 watt led for 99 hours and we charge our phones and my hearing aids and we have a ham radio it will power as well. it never gets below 80 percent... so power is a habit not really a necessity but we too love it when it is on and we use it like sugar it is addictive.... but with a bit of effort i believe we could convert back to not needing it if we had to would be hard but oh well so is life....
