My thought exactly : if you really think civilization will end, you'd better be non electricity dependent.

In a true total collapse event, even gold won't feed you.

Absolutely, you'll need water, food, meds, guns and real friends to survive...

Real friends aren't real friends if you only like them for their guns and training. I meant real friends.

You also need someone who can throw snakes at your enemies.

Because in a world without hope, throwing snakes is a viable answer to any problem.
