I've seen regional breakdown in govt. in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Central Africa.
Rich people leave or get taken by the gangs that spring up after.
IF there's a breakdown in govt. All these preppers are doing is becoming a 7-11 for one of the 100s of would be local warlords that spring up.
And it's not biker gangs or street gangs. The worst of the new gangs are the former police units, former army units, and the former organized crime groups.
Nobody is just left alone with anything of value.

You know it's true.
Their Fantasy: World goes to hell, everyone dies, and their safe haven allows them to be the new king of their area. (Also having to repopulate the world)
Their Reality: Being really good at camping.
