Okay, get those angry frowns on because there's some hard hitting fantasy destroying info coming through your eyes.

We all know The End Of The World As We Know It, just means a changing of the guard. The system will have changed in one way or another.

There is talk of prehistoric cave living, zero tech living, native ancient style living, medivl (I don't care how it's spelt, so correcting me will make you look like a silly goose), pre industrial age, and plenty of Armish style communities.

This is where the anger starts to pour in on me.

The cave people moved on in their technology because it made life easier. Medivl too. Actually, every civilisation era has 'developed' and benefitted society...supposedly.

Trains, planes, and automobiles were all ADVANCEMENTS! You know what that means? They were 'better' than the old way of doing things. It's less effort to drive a car than ride a horse. It's faster to fly to Disney World than it is to swim over there (I don't care if you don't like Disney World, it's the concept that's important). Travel is easier. Okay, so what? Well it suggests that people will look toward reviving that advancement.

Farming is easier than scavenging and hunting. So we can be sure they'll come back. Somewhere someone will work out how to get tractors up and running, possibly on methane from poo...WHAT?!?! That's already being done?!?! Who knew. So we can be certain farming will likely return.

Shelter will still be plentiful, so no worrying about that. Solar panels will allow people to use some electricity. Even with an EMP or solar flair people will figure out how to make power. Plenty of information in books to cover that topic.

So, with this in mind, life post SHTF will very likely have farms, houses, clothing, vehicles, and electricity. They will start off in limited quantities, but they will still exist.

It should only take a year, 2 at the most, for mankind to return to a high standard of living, similar to where we are now.

Thinking of sanitation and the alike, people can easily get that back up and running. Shops will return soon enough too.

If you do not agree, then I urge you to open a history book and look for a sentence that says "History repeats itself." Human development repeats itself. It keeps developing and alternative technology is constantly being made available. Hippies have solar panels and wind turbines. That says a lot!!!

If everything does go wrong, a return to 'normal' will happen pretty quickly.

The only chance of no technological developments is if only idiots survive an event.

From that it sounds like there's not much point prepping then...
