in theory isn't going into debt before the big crunch the best move with inflation?

  in case of fixed interest rates I guess so... yachts for everyone!

    I was thinking more of using the debt to fortify. Maybe metals... or property.

  unless the interest rates increase... or you lose your job. Back in 2007-2008 R&D was one the 1st to be disposed of.

  If the crash is inflationary, then yes. If deflationary, then no. Will the future be more inflationary than the market currently expects?

    If your country has a central bank, I promise you the crash is going to be inflationary.

      I think a more measured stance is that the crash WON'T be (significantly) deflationary. If the crash is "naturally" deflationary, the central banks have now shown a commitment to sustaining inflationary policy to keep inflation at target. But in the case of a "naturally" inflationary recession (stagflation), central banks will be hesitant to ramp up deflationary policy, because regaining employment levels will be a higher priority, and deflationary policy tends to hurt employment.
