We just had a ice storm and I had no electricity for 22 hours. I
was mostly unprepared and didn't like the experience at all.

What are you doing to prepare for this?

The first thing to do is to decide what you need to have (light, heat,
refrigerator, television, airconditioning...) and what you are prepared to
pay for it.

22 hours is a little baby outage; you can get by perfectly well without
doing anything special. (unless it is below zero, or something odd like
that)
