I don't prep for the end of the world. I just am prepared. Knowledge is a bigger asset to have than material goods.
Example:
I locate close to running water. This way, I have a water supply.
I am familiar with the animals and fora of my area. This allows me to do "hunter gatherer" style living, should I have to.
I know how to make rudimentary weapons. This enables me to defend myself and home, as well as to hunt.
We have survived with nothing but spears and animal skins. Everything else is extra.
---EDIT---
I also know the key strategy in survival in a collapse of known civilization: As quickly as possible, get away from other people, and pick up stragglers along the way to build your new tribe. There is strength in numbers.
