The end of time as we know it is coming, the question is what blades, tools, other survival items would you take with you and yes you have time to prepare!
 
All things I own:

Camp saw/spare blade.

Busse SH-e

Hk USP .45 w/4 mags + 100 rds +P JHP

Telescoping rod/reel.

Surefire E2 and Inova X5

Leatherman ST200

Al Mar SERE 2000

Frosts Mora

First aid kit.

5th of Canadian Club.

Kelty Redwing 2900

Filson Double Mackinaw Cruiser, wool socks, blanket.

Then I would buy some really nice boots like Wesco Jobmasters, and a premium firesteel.

Not counting any of the clothes I'm still only at about 22 lbs. I figure 25-27 lbs is maximum for long term. So throw a Ruger 10/22 on their with about 200 rds CCI Stingers for small game.
 
I came with nothing and I will leave with nothing.

though I loved that old busse ad.
 
I am keeping the house :) If it all goes to heck, I am staying home with locked doors gear and lots of supplies. If I have to leave, what I carry depends on what the problem is. Riots get one set of gear. Earthquakes and volcanoes get different priorities. Assuming I don't have a choice of what has hit the fan, I'd have a large knife(10incher),firesteel,Ruger 77/22(500rounds),200ft para cord,small roll O duct tape, water carrier,compass,small cooking pot, poncho,as much food as I can carry, Sebenza,first aid kit,Leatherman Supertool,and appropriate clothing. This would be a natural disaster type kit for me. For a combat style problem the firearm would change to a Springfield M1A and I'd also be packing the USP Tactical.
 
trace rinaldi armageddon,
fire steel,
food, poncho, sleeping bag,
swedish bikini team,
single malt scotch (as much as i can carry)
good cigars (as many as i can carry)
cd player (for swedish bikini dancing)
mazola oil (as much as it takes to slather the swedish bikini team)
that should cover all manmade and natural disasters.

If a fundamental of nature as important as time is going to cease to function normally, a baggie full of peach fuzz and an inch wide strip of old newspaper smeared with ear wax from a cocker spaniel could turn out to be the most important things to have. But I'd probably take my Mora 2000 and Gerber Sport Axe too.
 
I would be trying to store as much water as I could.
All my kits.
Medical supplies & book.
All my blades and sharpening stone.
Extra toilet paper & tooth brushes/floss
Good sleeping bags.
My best bow & lots of arrows.
Lots of candles.
Mess kit.
100m 10mm rope, ascenders/descenders & harness
Big plastic bags.

....and lots more....
 
Utter dependance on Christ Jesus. Nothing else will matter without this.
 
I hate to be a party pooper but if it is the end of times

doesn't that mean the end of the world like all the nukes go off at once?

"All the nukes go(ing) off at once" wouldn't necessarily mean end to mankind. Some lucky few would most probably survive the fallout and some of those will prolly survive the long dark winter after this as well. Oh yeah, I am sure some of the bastards at the military who started it will survive in their bunkers quite comfortably as well.

Anyway, such an event will kick back mankind into the dark ages, medieval kind of time .. so the most important items (in a long term view) will prolly be simple tools like knives, hammers, axes and stuff like pots and pans, clothing, boots .. and of course anything needed to manufacture these.

At the end of the world in the bizarro world, the most important items of survival will be tampons, shoe horns, Italian ice, and opera glasses.
 
At the end of time I go to the drugstore and get new batteries for my wristwatch. Then I get another year or so of time out of it. ;) :D
 
The end of time as we know it. . . Hmmm. . .

No more daylight savings time? I would welcome that. I think all I would need would be a corkscrew and some BBQ utensils to handle that one.

Or does this mean that we are switching to sidereal time (in tune with the stars)? That might not be a good idea, since midnight and noon would trade places twice per orbital period - the time formerly known as a year. I think I would want a sextant in that case, to tell the time.

Nukes? that might stop some watches, but not time. Same goes for disease and pestilence.

Now, the only real way to stop time proper is to compress space with a gravitational field to the point where light cannot propagate. In short, the universe would have to collapse and form a massive, hot black hole. Time as we know it would actually stop at the event horizon, the point at which gravitational acceleration balances light's ability to propagate. Thus, time's ability to move forward in a familiar way is destroyed at the event horizon.

There is not a whole lot one can do about the universe's ultimate collapse into a black hole. I think I'm back to my corkscrew and BBQ utensils. While I'm waiting I think I will serve God, and try to live in peace.

Wouldn't time still exist at the event horizon? I thought it would just be compressed so that everything happens at once.
