Heres how it would go down for preppers after an EMP (or other SHTF situation)
Once food runs low, people will group together and form mass mobs that will go door to door taking everything that any one has. If they come across some one who has guns and such(a prepper) , they will burn the house down killing anyone inside and hope that something good is left. Mob mentality stats that if we cant have it neither can you.
End of story.

There is a lot to what you say. I spend a lot of time on the Web. One site comes to mind, shtfplan
and gives a good idea how many others plan for your scenario. I'm not trying to push traffic to that site,
in fact most here would be very offended by the language, disrespect for laws, Democrats and LEO's
in general, but I use it as a source for my advice. Here are a few ideas( but certainly not all)
1) Get way away from all large population centers.
2) Put together a "community of like minded people" for protection
and needed skills.
3) Never store all your goodies in one spot.
4) In addition to stored food and water, have animals and a garden.
5) Government is never, never your friend, they will take your stuff.
Make sure it is not very portable and don't let them know you have it.
I could go on and on. Where I live, there is food, water
and a small enough population in the local area to feed everyone, so we
only have to worry about processing and distribution, I suppose that where
our local churches and temples come in( lots of those here).
We just have to keep the big town people out( in my case Hilo and Kona).
Fortunately geography favors that, as there is
only one main road and that is easily blocked and defended.
Granted I'm in one of the most rural, sparsely populated, resource
rich, part of my island, so my neighbors and I have many options.
Most of us have plans for when SHTF.
If you are on Oahu, then you might have
a "Mad Max" situation as you propose.
Most mobs establish a territory
and don't go far away from it.
