Similar here, nice , wood stove with secondary catalytic fume burning , well enough to heat our little cottage. A/C is entirely infrastructure dependent, so if we lose electrical power , we just simmer in our own juices. A small fan for some comfort while sleeping is available to run on our modest solar power system. The solar is mainly for emergency lighting and communications. I have checked into our and other nets, passed formatted traffic and etc. Using this solar power system for power. It was at least sufficient.
Cooking is small canister camp stove woth stored fuel canisters for aproxately the first month, then wood fires and cast iron cook ware after that. We all have wells in this very small comminity, including grandfather wells, servicable with a rope and bucket. Some neighbors have back-up whole house power for normal living as lkng as they jave fuel. Oir home well is 489 feet deep ( 4th aquifer) yet, less than 20 feet from the water surface to the top of our well casing In an emergency an hour using a dipping can will give us plenty for the week, including drinking, washing and toilet flushing. We have a septic field system.
It's not easy, but it works.
