A lot of food that gets shipped frozen can be canned as well. People like their food 'fresh', but would take canned or dried if the alternative is none.
As long as there is stuff that burns people can cook.
People are inventive, especially in times of adversity. Not everybody has proper hiking skills, but once that is needed they learn from others that do.
I really don't see the problem.

I envy your optimism.
But ... no power = no internet. After the first 8 hours, no cell towers. After 3 or 4 days, maybe a week at the outside, no fiber switching infrastructure.
It seems that during the last decade we have slid down the knowledge mountain ... everyone relies on the internet to tell them how to do things, and youtube to show them how to do it.
Without internet, I don't see most people being able to do more than plug their now-useless phone into a USB connector on a packaged solar panel.
