I'll add one more: my ex and I spent six years full-time RVing. During most of that time, we had approximately 30-days of off-grid capability, depending on where we were camped.

And that was without trying to push it. Realistically, we could have extended that by months - limited only by food - by camping near a water source.

Our lifestyle at the time wasn't at all "prepper" driven, but I think it's another category worth recognizing here.

Many full-time RVers have similarly, surprisingly-long off-grid capaciy at all times.

We did meet a few 'real' preppers along the way, though. The kind who have a reinforced "bug out room" deep in their basement, with positive pressure air ventilation, shelves lined with MREs, many crates of water, and an substantial arsenal. Interesting dude, but the prepper thing wasn't my speed.

Wow, now you've got my mind spinning, as yes, the nomad crowd is yet another whole genre of characters and stories. You've got everyone from essentially homeless people with wheels to trust fund kids / FIRE with total freedom. I'm sure you have many stories if you were on the road that many years.
