Be fit and strong.
Have skills, mechanical, woodworking, metals, etc.
Be smart and socially competent.
Know what your body needs and how to get proper nutrition.
Know how to identify edibles and find water.
Know similar men with similar skills, or know how to join them.
We live in a world where most of the tools we need will be laying around and available. Smart men with the right survival instincts may not need to be stocked up or prepared at all, since they'll be able to acquire and protect those things once SHTF. And they've kept their survival skills honed through practice and work, so they won't be thumbing through a survival manual while they're starving in the woods.
I think a lot of people put too much faith in gear and supplies, or they think it'll be a giant free-for-all battle royale that they can survive through firepower alone. This is not how it'll work out, and you'll die without the skills and experience you need to survive.
