We on the other hand are spoiled rotten and live in mortal fear of being reduced to the subsistence level of a rice paddy serf. Quite a large majority of the affluent world will die not for a lack of energy but from a total lack of survival skills. No matter, the untouchables will move on after disposing of our carcases and survive quite nicely without us or cheap oil.

Yes they did, cheap energy is one of the factors there are so many people now alive on the planet.
See "Green Revolution."

The ones that survive should have plenty of space to wander and 'hunter-gather' (assuming that something is left to hunt or gather) in the near future. I might even get the opportunity to try my hand at it if we do the fast-crash thing. Fortunately, the backyard of my primary residence is several thousand acres of forest and park-land with a river on its northern border.
