I understand what you mean, and have imagined similar things, but in reality, if a societal collapse were to happen, it would probably have very little in common with our post-apoc adventure fantasies. If we were among the, presumably few, people who come out alright on the other end, in the first place.
Things are seldom as imagined, and a 'societal collapse', to someone who has been conceived, born and developed in a society, is essentially the end of the world and such a shock to the system that none of us have experienced. If you miraculously survive, and your sanity is intact after the 'collapse', it will be a dark existence, both figuratively and literally, as there would probably be no electricity, it will be cold (if you're not in a climate that's warm all year round - I'm not), always uncomfortable, always on edge, a painful reality where you have to struggle every day just to see another one, which is also something most people in the so called Western societies haven't come close to experiencing. Exciting? Maybe, if you weren't afraid. But you would be, and should be. Evil men would thrive in such an environment. Everything that is collectively held back and hidden by society would erupt, on every dark corner of a perpetually dark world.
It would be nice to create a community and craft a new little corner of the world for yourself and others. Who wouldn't want that? It's a primal instinct. But there's a field of razor wire in the way.
