KNOW HOW AND HAVE ON HAND multiple methods for water purification. Recommendations - Mini Sawyer, Berkey system, and bleach (know how to use it)
Stock up on pet food; medications; cash/coin; first aid supplies; bottled water; wet wipes; trash bags; Bic lighters; fuel; batteries; solar USB charger
Have a portable radio with shortwave bands.
Others recommended a camping stove. You can also order something on Amazon or at a restaurant supply store called a casette-feu. It is a butane powered burner you'll see at an omelette station - cheap to run.
Knowledge is the most important thing in a grid down situation. I recommend storing and/or printing a water purification guide; survival references specific for your AO; and a few books in PDF - Where There Is No Doctor, WTIN Dentist, and WTIN Veterinarian.
No true prepper uses Bic, get yourself Djeep or stick with matches. Bics and zippo leak fuel overtime and could be useless by the time you need them. Djeep also are the same size as duct tape so wrap them in a few layers for emergency

KISS. No one knows what a Djeep is. I used them in the 80s. Great lighter. No true prepper doesn’t have a good flint set up and knows how to use it.
