Heh. Yeah, that stuff would make sense. We live in castles, dude, we should have candles and matches beyond counting. At least, if this was tabletop, that would be the case.

My cellphone died shortly after we lost power. Maybe some kind of generator to power up emergency technology like cellphones or short wave radios?

Oh hey, I also totally invented sleeping bag pants to stay warm. I'd be perfectly willing to pass off my designs to someone who could produce them in quantity in case this happens again. And sleeping bags are one size fits all, so except for little kids, they'd fit anyone. [a bit distractedly, and mostly to himself] Maybe... pockets like kangaroos, on the inside... to put stuff in.
