I recall actually seeing something like that on that old "Last Man on Earth" sitcom. One episode revolves around the stored petrol having gone off so they start trying to install solar kit.
I like your comment because it's useful to consider but amusing at how dire survival amongst humans might be.
If you haven't watched Last Man On Earth (TV show), it's a good combo of the same thoughts (humorous, but easily provokes more serious thought). And for less-light fare, Alone is a good insight into survival in the wild, though without worrying about humans as a threat. Humans, of course, completely changes the game.
I think a lot of people like the idea of upheaval and a fresh challenge. For some, the daily grind doesn't play to their advantages whereas maybe apocalyptic survival of brawn does. I imagine the reality would never be the adventurous romp they expect when tinned food dwindles and plants aren't producing because temperatures have dropped...
Probably also depends on the scale. There's the $x00k bunker with air/water filtration and shelves of long-life food, or there's stashing some tins and having a rough idea of where you might go if it came to it.
The TV show Last Man On Earth does make it look kind of fun (no radiation, no zombies)...
