Generators would eventually run out of gasoline. Would the gas stations pump gas without electricity? I'd probably find a place up north with a really good wood furnace, hook up solar panels for my electricity. Round up some cows for milk, chickens for eggs, start planting a garden, grab a few beef cattle, A dozen horses for transportation. KISS - right? No running out of gasoline with those. I'd have to turn to farming too. Find some older plows for hauling behind ox or horses. I'd PLAN to not have gasoline or electricity. Machinery, without knowledgeable repair will eventually break down. I know animals a little better than I know machinery. I can feed and train them better than fix machines.
Otherwise I would scavange all that I could from stores till the gasoline in any vehicle I could procure ran out. I'd have quite the stockpile of canned goods including tuna and canned chicken and spam. It would carry me through when the meat I could hunt and butcher wouldn't last in the heat of summer.
I'd probably go out naked a whole lot more.
