How ok would you be if teleported right now into a field in Peru in the 1300s with... (see description)?
-
A) Nothing, just totally naked
B) What you're wearing and anything you carry with you (even if you're not carrying it right now) like a bag
C) What you're wearing, what you carry with you, and the contents of your home (it will be teleported within a few hundred metres on the surface in an accessible location, but obviously won't be connected to any services like electricity or water)
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Totally fucked on all counts. I hope the indigenous Peruvians take me in as some kind of oddity. Although I don't want to start the spread of New World diseases early so maybe I'll go find a cliff or something. It'll be less painful.

A) Assimilate with the local people and probably be fine. Eventually use my wide, but mostly shallow knowledge on many subjects to start a scientific revolution and try to repel the Spanish-colonial shithead christo-fascists.
B) Assimilate with the local people and probably be fine. With the help of my smartphone and multi-tool; use my wide, but mostly shallow knowledge on many subjects to start a scientific revolution that will hopefully help repel the Spanish-colonial shithead christo-fascists.
C) Assimilate with the local people and probably be fine. With the help of my smartphone, multi-tool, and various technology examples of the common era, start a scientific revolution that will likely help repel the Spanish-colonial shithead christo-fascists.
In any of these scenarios, I would try to warn people about the Spanish-colonial shithead christo-fascists that are coming to fuck their shit.

I've played enough RimWorld to know I wouldn't be totally ok in any of these scenarios.
All it takes is a random bug bite or infection and home meds just won't be enough.

If I have the contents of my home, then I probably have enough scientific knowledge in the form of books to start my own scientific revolution provided I can get enough people to listen to me.
SHUN THE NON-BELIEVER! SHUUUUUN! SHUUUUUUUUNNNNAH!

I would travel as far and as long as I could before I died, exposing people to my germs and viruses so they have a stronger immunity when the Spanish arrive.

To all the people in here saying "I could warn them and help them prepare to take on the conquistadores" while the sentiment is good, the conquistadores weren't the ones that wiped them out, it was smallpox and other diseases. So unless you can synthesize a vaccine, or just expose them to it then so they can recover population in a couple centuries, they're doomed no matter what.

I'd be fucked, I don't know how to camp and I don't speak any language that would be spoken then and there.

I'd be dead with zero preparation.

I have a high-end compound bow, arrows, a few firewood axes, a hatchet, a european style two-handed sword (a proper, functional one), a proper battle axe (both are wall decorations), heaps of rice, canned foods, winter and summer clothing, backcountry gear for traversing and climbing, fishing gear, and a boatload of other useful things for outdoor survival. I even have flint and steel.
I also built and lived in a tiny home on the side of a mountain for 5 years. I chopped wood every day for 5 years and used that to keep myself warm in the winters. While I'm no longer living like that, it taught me that I could hack it (pun intended).
If going for option two and I had 30 minutes to prep before teleport, I'd grab a large bag, fill it with some summer and winter clothes, wool socks, a few bags of rice, a metal water bottle and a filter, a pan to boil water, two camp knives, a hatchet, axe. I'd sling my bow, make sure I was wearing good shoes, pants, and outerwear, a hat, and glasses.
If I got teleported right now? I'm barefoot wearing board shorts, a light linen shirt, and my skivvies. I'd be fucked.
What is your sword? I have an Albion sharp that I've only cut with once.

as long as you're okay doing a couple hundred warcrimes, you'll be fine

Or until you get speared by the native tribe.

It's a Dark Sword Armory Danish two-hander. I love the shape, weight, and appearance. I also have a Vindaris from them that was a second - they sold it for $300 and I cannot for the life of me see what's wrong with the damned thing.

For C are the belongings in a cave or hut or just left outside in the rain?
I have a lot of books, clothes and things to cook with so that would be nice.
