When I was a kid, our power would go off when mother nature sneezed... Never remember a generator but Dad always had creative ways of getting by... Always kept the deep freeze packed full. If it wasn't food, it was milk jugs and butter bowls of ice and would carry over most outages. In winter (all electric house) he'd bring in the worm (??) heater that was converted to run on propane instead of diesel. Always had a couple of the coleman propane lanterns and them stovetop purcalator coffee pots and a coleman stove..
Mom would cook on the coleman stove and dad would perk coffee with a propane torch... TV only got 3 channels so it wasn't missed much...
Get a kick outta things 30-40 years later when everyones figuring/planing how much backup generator they need in order to survive.......
