Back in the day, we called this "going camping for the weekend"

Camping for a couple of weeks would be more relevant.

A weekend is a pretty decent test though. If you flip the main breaker on your panel and use the water service shut off valve, you'll know in 24 hours how well you can cope. After 48, you'll know exactly what needs to be addressed. Provided you're in a house with access to those kinds of shut-offs

No it’s not. I know I can survive 48 hours without water (let alone food or power). I can just sit around and do nothing. Not so with two weeks.

Have you thought how your toilet will look like after 48 hours without water?
