You print off a list of backup codes and stick them in a safe. Then log in with the backup code, and set up a new Authenticator token.
You could also add a U2F token and store that away.

Not all of the services that implement Google's 2FA provide backup codes. Plus, the idea is that 2FA should be used anywhere, even for lesser-values web sites, so the idea of printing everything seems to be archaic.
Or save the token in an encrypted password manager so you can retrieve it later
