yes, the winners will be those who survive the longest; but unlike prior dark ages, most humans alive today don't have basic survival skills (obtaining food, water, shelter, etc. without modern conveniences). those who survive, many will be suffering slow painful death, enslavement, etc.
as Western Europe and North America fall into chaos, there will be many countries where little will change in their lives, other than likely civil war as various factions attempt to take power while the first world is pre-occupied... that's why I'm considering island nations in the Caribbean and South Pacific, accessible by sailboat, with many uninhabited islands...
