How ok would you be if teleported right now into a field in Peru in the 1300s with... (see description)?
-
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!

LOUD NOISES!!!

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)
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'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.
Randy is in charge, be prepared to die from 1000 cat bites

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.

With all of them I'm at a real disadvantage due to not speaking any local languages, considering you basically need the locals for long term survival that puts one on the wrong foot to start off with.
Surviving A would require a lot of luck, B would be a bit more achievable as that would give me some clothes and a multitool but still very hard going as I know nothing substantial about the local bush food and dangers.
C is where I might actually have a chance as I have a lot of tools, camping gear, some food, and some books which might help (albeit nothing specifically on Peru except whatever's in the Encyclopaedia Britannica). Given luck I could probably manage solo for a while with this. What'd probably happen is the locals come along and make off with everything though so I wouldn't give good odds on long term survival.

A) Fucked.
B) Probably fucked, but give me the AR-15 in my closet and a backpack full of ammunition and we might have something to talk about.
C) Other than the guns and ammo in my closet I can't think of anything in my house that would actually be useful. -

wrote on last edited by [email protected]A. Dead within a day unless helped by a stranger
B. Probably still dead soon but at least I have clothes, I normally carry nothing of use
C. There is a chance I live long enough to learn how to survive with knives, a handgun, and some amount of food and drink. If I get the tools from my garage I guess I can build a makeshift shelter. Probably still a betting favorite to die within a week unless I can find and somehow ingratiate myself to some locals by giving them cool stuff.

I'll be okay with it. Dead soon obviously, but I wouldn't be too bummed.
