Should I be getting a gun and hiding in the woods?
If a "hole-up-in-the-woods-with-guns" model of preparation appeals to you, I encourage you to read as much as possible about other civilizations that have crashed and burned. While the survivalist model works in Hollywood, it often fails in reality. When our society collapses, the rural areas may well go first. In that case, little enclaves of survivalists sitting on stockpiles of food, weapons, and gold will be too tempting a target for the bandit cultures that evolve in post collapse rural areas.
Speaking of bandit cultures, you can be assured that your in-laws will come looking for food and supplies if you have them stockpiled.
As stated previously, the end of the oil age is a life and death game. I think it unwise to base your life plan on a macho Hollywood fantasy
I think it sounds sweet. Especially if all the guns were gone and we all had to fight eachother with swords/axes/crossbows etc. for little cans of oil

BEYOND THUNDERDOME! We'll have to battle for Tina Turners entertainment as well as for oil.

Hey, I wouldn't mind it. I think rotaries would go extinct though because of their poor fuel economy ;)
