Just a note on the cell phone thing: When the power goes out, the cell towers will run on generators. Not all towers have generators, and the generators don't last all that long. I know you said you were planning on being incommunicado, but that's just one more reason why you can't count on cell phones in, say, a hurricane. ;)
(My father works for the phone company, so I've learned way more than I ever wanted to know about how phones work. And how they don't work.)
