keep it simple has always been my motto and my philosophy.
A freezer and a washing machine post collapse? really?

I do get where you are coming from but history kind of proves that mankind hasn't reverted back to the previous 'age' shall we say,...if you take the finite use aspect to heart for example, why arent you living like cave man now?
Mankind becomes use to and wants to maintain the lifestyle that they are currently in,...I could be wrong here but I don't think that anyone from the Iron age would have gone back to the Bronze age for example.

I lived off grid on 2 acres of land in a wooden caravan for 12 years but I didnt own the land, owner died and her heir didnt want me on the land anymore so I had to come back to "civilisation" and start again.
