It's not that good people couldn't survive, it's that the average person that is looking forward to the end of civilization is completely underestimating the reality of the situation.

Most of the people I know with rural properties are engineers who just wanted a ranch to retire to. They can't cook, they don't grow their own food, they don't have animals besides pets, but they think 20 guns and 30k rounds of ammunition will see them through a societal collapse.

I believe that hubris will work against them if they actually find themselves in a survival situation.

I got you now. I agree with that. I am in an area where most families have been here for generations and still have skills to live off the land, so I have a different perspective on people who own big land. Most of them are generational around here. Real working farms and such.
