We have our fifth wheel parked at our house and we can live (survive) there for many days with our furnace and battery power that we have. We won't be really comfortable, but there is plenty to eat, water in the tank (only during early spring through late fall), but we do have several gallons stored in the house. We live in a very rural area - there are 4,000 residents in a 24 square mile locality.
We have been without power for several weeks when we have had heavy, wet snow of 24-36". We survived, took showers (we still had water), cooked food, used my grill and used up stuff in my freezer (steaks, crab legs, etc.) We and our neighbors ate well that week.
I can cook over my fire in the fireplace or head to the fifth wheel and use the propane stove
Unlike many in or near large cities, many hunt and fish, (therefore, most people here are armed), so we might not have gourmet food, but we have filling foods.
I'm sure we could survive for many months with no power. It might be pretty, but we could do it.
