I imagine the SHTF moment is not just one thing, but several very unfortunate happenings at the same time. Think power and water outages, people rioting in the streets and looting stores, police unable to contain them without being demonized by the media so they just don't do their job, adversaries from other countries seeing the chaos as their time to act with whatever they've got sitting around in store for us, bad actors trying to inflame the situation further, etc. If only one of these things were happening at one time, we could deal with it. But if everything falls apart at the same time, civilization goes out the window. I assume.
