Would you be able to survive living in the stone age after living our modern life?

Say if the whole world was thrown back to stone age time in less than 24hrs by some catastrophic event that kills 98% of all humans all over the planet.

Samples of a catastrophic events:

Meteorite the size of Texas hitting the planet.

Earth magnetic poles switch and cause huge earthquakes, typhoons, sinkholes, flooding and so on.

There would be no internet, no cellphones, no cars, no houses, no televisions, no food grocery stores, no guns to hunt or to protect yourself with.

Can't hunt animals for food, because most of the animals have been wiped out to, just like 98% of worlds population of humans would be wiped out to.

So do you think if your one of the 2% that survived this ordeal. Could you now live in this new world?

I live in a place where I haul my water and bathe by the fire but I do have electricity and internet so I guess that would be hard to adjust but we would eventually do it. We are an adaptive species

Do you recall seeing a 100 yr old man lift Ed off his feet? I believe his name was Johnny Johnson or something like that. He worked as a bellhop in San Francisco. I KNEW I saw that episode but there is NO reference to him anywhere,

@SW-User no I don't remember that one but I did see the almost ninety year old farmer whom Johnny brought on, who introduced his much younger girlfriend who he goes dancing with. I posted the bit on my facebook a few years back

@SW-User lifting Ed would require strength. As a former bell-hop I truly appreciate that

Well, he lifted him off the floor about two inches or so using a leaning backwards-style bear hug.
I won't rest until I find a reference to it.
