Back in the 90's I remember it being a very hot topic and common knowledge, especially on/., that it was what people wanted. Before smartphones, wearable technology was a BIG THING.
Honestly, it's not a lot of wiring. It's two of these walmart heaters. Or about $5 of nichrome wire on ebay. And really, that's not very much heat. I doubt it would keep 1m^2 @-20C (not too cold). You'd need 10-15 average panels to generate 3kw of power under optimal conditions.
Us greybeards know how to order things from Amazon the old fashioned way on their website. And sometimes, in the case of CME or EMP, using the post office and mail order. I pity younger generations. So impatent.
Twenty tons of wheat will last a person on a 2000kcal/day diet about 90 years (3 people 30 years, 30 people 3 years, etc). That will costs you about $3400. Tack on another $3k for add ons so you're not eating paste all that time and getting scurvy.
A few months ago I read a detailed analysis that showed that if the entire world were equal, people would be living at a $35/day level. Current western levels are $165/day.
My 8-bit computer still works fine despite being stored in an Arizonan attic for 30 years where I would expect the temperatures to exceed 340K for extended periods of time.

I have many selfies from back in the 80's.

4 candy bars for $1. How much is a candy bar?
That is an algebra question. Even a second grader can do it
The stuff you think that is worth saving may not be the stuff slashdotters in the year 7164 think is worth anything.

Septic systems are very effective. I think I read once that 25% of the US and europe still use them. Everyone I know in Mexico had them.
$1,000,000 puts you in the top 0.5%.
The AGC was a 16bit computer with 64k of memory 2K RAM). My last calculator from about 15 years ago was 64 bits, ran at 4MHz and had 640kb memory.
No matter what commodore did, they were still doomed.
Jay Miner was one of my idols.

'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' was one of the first lessons taught in engineering school.

It's the smell of the magic blue smoke that makes all electrical things work.
