This whole thread is somewhat humorous to me...
If we all thought the same, and did the same, we could still not COMPLETELY prepare for whatever comes in a SHTF scenario. The best we can do is identify the things we know how to do, connect with others that have skills we don't have, and stockpile things that might be needed to survive with extra to barter for the rest of the things we didn't prepare for. If I need a mechanic, I need to be prepared to have whatever THEY view as valuable to them, or I will be walking.
I for one, am glad that not everyone here thinks like I do. Survival in these situations will depend as much on the community you develop as any preparation you can do individually.
