We don't have a generator, though we've considered it. We haven't considered it at the same time we've had a royalty payment come through, so that hasn't happened.
I'm at least looking at getting an inverter -- one of our neighbors managed to save a refrigerator and a big freezer's worth of food throughout the big ice storm we had by running a line from his truck and running them a few hours a day....
What we do have is something I picked up at VIP Auto -- it's essentially an undedicated battery-back-up that can also be used to hot-shot cars. We also have a big pile of batteries; once or twice a year I take a hike through local discount stores looking for battery sales and buy a dozen or two. Right now I'm low on AAA batteries, and probably need to get in some D cells, but we're good for the moment.
