What if you scavenge and hunt for food
That brings you into conflict with whoever owns the land, unless you like eating dog with rice.
Go native into any forest and most people would be dead from starvation in 4 weeks, there are many TV shows that show how hard it is. Our way of life depends entirely on people growing our food on vast farms and the global industries that keep them in operation. Even people with functioning homesteads would struggle when they lose this support. That clogged oil filter you need? sorry, that's made in China now, your tractor is scrap
The only survivors at Year 2 will be large organised communities of literal peasant serfs.
The only event worth planning for is one lasting a few months
What if you have like ten thousand 9mm rounds and eat deer and go fishing in Montana could last a lifetime bonus if you use a silencer to Not m not alarm people nearby
where do you get your salt from for preserving deer? what about gun oil?
There are a million things people don't consider as important because they can just pop into the nearest town to fetch it. And year 2 when you haven't talked to a single person, how sane will you be?
It's certainly possible because they have found lost families living in Russia after 20 years, it's just not worth living that long by yourself.
All these preppers with 10K rounds, how long do they think they will survive once they engage in any kind of armed conflict? with more than one person. They'll live a few more hours at best.
