How to prepare for a probable internet outage?

Buy some DVDs and/or older video games and systems. Login to your Steam account to make sure the DRM is topped up. Download some reading materials. Maybe get a POTS landline installed. Visit the bank and get a handful of currency.

You need to be a bit more specific about the scenario and what you want to do that you can't when you have no internet.

Turn off your internet on Sundays, you'll figure out where your dependencies really lie in a month or two.
