If I have to start generating my power now, with no preparation and a failed grid, I think my only option is logging and burn wood. At least I can cook with that and heat a room.

maybe that’s true today but within five years I bet the economics will have pushed you and your neighbors to install at least some amount of solar and batteries

That was already planned for but I don't know if I could rely on the sun in winter when maybe it's cloudy for a couple of weeks, plus the shorter days.
