I try for the same thing I always do, set myself up to have options. To increase the time it takes to be backed into a corner. Both in a continuing government and a collapse scenario. Total collapse? I do my best to get by with skills and what resources I have and can manage to defend. Generally, I'd go with I'm good at fixing and building things. Beyond that, I'm smart and tough and will figure something out. That's all my frontiersman ancestors had and they figured it out.

If it doesn't work out I did the best with what I had to work with and I won't have any regrets.
