Twenty Rules To Live By as America Goes to Hell:
1: Be as self sufficient as possible without endangering folks or making life unnecessarily miserable.
2: Avoid crowds. Crowds are magnets for all manner of trouble.
3: Build a cushion – then one can choose when and where to interact with others.
4: Plan first, consider carefully, adjust and only then do.
5: Have a contingency plan.
6: Create a backup for the contingency plan.
7: Always have reserves in a different venue. Always.
8: Practice regularly with everything you might one day depend on.
9: A person can know a lot – but can’t master everything. They’ll need tribe to cover the gaps.
10: Do not bring a knife to a gun fight.
11: Never shoot a threat in the face when you can shoot it in the back. From 500 yards away.
12: In a life or death struggle, never employ half measures.
13: There is no shame in fleeing danger.
14: Even in the worst of times, humans covet trinkets, toiletries, cosmetics and entertainment.
15: The constabulary is not your friend. Never involve them in a situation willingly.
16: Always have a reasonable lie and supporting evidence for anything you’re getting up to.
17: Pay attention to your surroundings. Notice the little details.
18: When in Rome, look, smell and act like the locals. Don’t stand out. Don’t gawk.
19: Nothing you own is worth dying for. Get it back later, on your terms.
20: One only calls the end of the world right once. Everything else costs credibility needed when the balloon really does go up.

Some decent advise there, even though I may violate the latter part of #1 and not have time for #6 or enough of it for #8.

All good stuff.
A couple of additions (offered in no particular order)
Be flexible - when you're flexible - especially in an inflexible situation it's the other guy who is more likely to break, not you.
Listen to your inner voice. You can think of him as Jiminy Cricket if'n you wanna but listen to him!

They also frequently post stuff from this guy who is apparently Yugoslavian who offers advice from his experiences in the civil war there in the 90s. One thing he frequently mentions is to never look like your group are doing well. Always look ragged and underequipped. Carry a concealed pistol rather than a better but more obvious weapon. This advice is meant to make you look like a less interesting target. I think his site is shtfschool.com (http://shtfschool.com). Interesting articles there.
