In Australia Solar Power is ubiquitous. I have a 150w panel I take camping - it charges all my phones,tablets etc - I have a massive library of pirated content that will take years to work through. Electricity, food and water aren't issues for me. But what is , is medicine, especially Insulin. I have 6 month stock pile but after that would rely on trading and if worse comes to worst - theft. The chemists/pharmacies will be the first hit during the apocalypse. Learning Bush Tucker can alleviate some of the problems - like pain relief, wound healing etc . the other thing that is hard to stockpile these days is petrol - you'll need a shelf life additive as they deliberately let it decay nowadays.
Does AU add ethanol to the gas? They do in the US, at 10% rate.
Alcohol is easy enough to denature out, as all you have to do is put the gas into clear containers, and put water in. The water and alcohol will mix in a layer, leaving the pure gas on top.
Ethanol is an optional mix at most petrol stations here. Generally there's diesel, 2 or 3 grades of petrol, LPG (liquid petroleum gas) and the the 10% ethanol mix.
