you have 60 seconds to grab whatever you can around you before you are instantly teleported back in time 1,000 years, what would you grab?

Inspired by a Reddit question, I figured I'd ask folks here.
You are transported to the same location for example for me it would be South eastern New Mexico.

Knife, Coats, and if I can manage it find the rope I have that should be actually in my car's trunk.

You first! What would you grab?

Right now I'm in coastal California so I'd be living among the Miwok people. I wouldn't have to worry too much about the weather getting too cold or hot. There'd be plenty of food to forage from the ocean, streams, and hills. So I'd probably grab some things that would be worth trading, like metal kitchen knives, scissors, blankets and jackets...

Oh and my dice. I figure I can make a D&D group anywhere.

blankets and jackets...

Currently in Minnesota, so November in 1023 seems like a bad time of year to be figuring out wilderness survival. Definitely my warmest blanket and clothing would be the priority, then whatever tools I could grab with remaining time.

In 60 seconds I couldn't get everything that I want (no guns from the safe, for example) but I've got a gambeson, gloves, and hats, a 45# recurve bow and a quiver of 18 field pointed carbon arrows, a spear, and a couple of knives in that time. Might also be able to manage a military water bottle, as well, but in Southern Ontario fresh water would be among my least worries. Sadly no flint & steel, but might be able to find flint. Could make a bow drill, myself, if necessary, as long as I have a knife.

Northwest Europe around the turn of the first millennium? Probably something to confound 21st century archaeologists. At least I'd be able to derive some pleasure from that while I'm being slaughtered.

Actually, a face mask might be useful. I'd hate to carry my post-Covid germs back to an unprotected past.

My inhaler for my asthma

My inhaler for my asthma

At least I wouldn't likely need my type 2 diabetes meds. Instant introduction to a paleo/keto diet.

Evil Dead Army of Darkness style I’d be grabbing books like the SAS Survival Guide, Chemistry, Physics and Blacksmithing.
