The main thing I'd add that a lot of bitcoiners tend to miss, especially for those of us in the west with a more individualist spirit, is to build your tribe! Locally, regionally, and globally.
Your trusted friends, and more specifically the ones that you would call your brothers, will be your most effective armor against the event.
quotingHaving Bitcoin as a retirement fund won’t be enough. In a great taking event you might have the money, but not the opportunity to spend it for months or even years.

You’ll additionally need at least:
1) your own water well
2) independent power sources (solar + some sort of BESS) and a diesel aggregate for redundancy
3) some comms (radio and/or satellite uplink)
4) own hardware/server and a local LLM
5) a pair of guns and enough ammo to last you a while
6) an FPV drone
7) a way to produce some food (garden, chicken) or hunt for it (easy access to a river/forest/mountain/large open fields)
If you live in apartment building you’re probably cooked.
If you have Bitcoin but none of the above, you’ll probably NGMI.
Better start collecting checks on the list. Utilise your Bitcoin instead waiting for the NGU.
