Regardless of how long you survive, your body both living and dead would be the single most potent bioweapon on earth.

A) Play up my auspicious naked arrival as supernatural and attempt to live as the wisest person in the area. I’ll speak in Spanglish and mystify them!

B) The jig is up, I’m wearing a neon shirt so anyone in the area will spot me and wonder wtf I am doing staring at a little thing in my hand. I’d do the best a pocha can to speak the two or three words of Quechua I learned on vacation, then attempt to make their lives better, and educate them to the best of my abilities.

C) My partner and cats are coming too! Same as above but with the benefit of lots of science, tech, and medical books. I’d be so much happier to have my partner, cats, and my own hovel to retreat to.

A) Completely fucked. Likely dead within days.

B) Less fucked than most I imagine. I do a lot of hiking (multiple times a week) and carry the 10 essentials in my bag, including a water filter. Food would be the biggest issue as I typically only have one meal and some snacks in my bag. I think it’s doable though.

C) I think I’d be fine. I have enough food to last for months if I ration it and the knowledge, seeds and tools to grow a pretty robust heirloom garden. I also have water filtration and backups, as well as tents for shelter, solar rechargeable batteries for light at least until the panels and batteries degrade, and hand tools to build a more robust shelter. If the contents of my whole house came though the difficulty would be feeding my dog and cat, so we’d have to quickly start working on figuring out how to get meat regularly. I’d have about 2 months of food for them, but that would go quick. I am not readily equipped for hunting so I’d have to cobble together some snares. I have Wikipedia downloaded to an old Kindle and that would probably help in that department. I think in this scenario I’d be fine until disease got me. I have emergency antibiotics in my house though so I could at least survive a couple rounds of bacterial diseases.

A. Dead. It’s freaking Peru and I’m a tubby weakling from the swamps. The elements will strike me down.

B. Fine. I got an alpaca wool poncho so I won’t be that out of place. I’ll bring some survival books and a bug out bag.

C. New World Order. “Ok fellas you see all these funky looking codices on multiple shelves? Some of them have your future and the future of the peoples living on the continent north of you. See these maps, accurate to the finger length. All yours for the price of making friends with the Altepeme around lake Texcoco and killing anyone with my skin color immediately for the rest of time.”

If I survive, can I finally get the title of Eagle Scout?

A) totally fucked

B) totally fucked but I might live through the day

C) still totally fucked but I might become a hermit or something if I get really lucky.

At least with C I have a bunch of hand tools, camping gear, rope, life straws, water filters, medical kits, and alcohol. So I could feasibly live life as a hermit in a self built cabin.

A & B I’m totally fucked. I’ve watched all of Alone, I think I starve to death in weeks.

In all those situations I don’t speak any of their languages to defend or explain myself, so I’m fairly sure the locals will murder me.

The world is littered with the graves of explorers from the Age of Exploration who had D: every piece of equipment that money could buy and experience could suggest.

The ones who survived being stranded in remote environments did so not by virtue of their possessions or preparations, but by throwing themselves on the mercy of the local inhabitants.

A) No, I like my jacket too much. Also I’d just die.

B) Also no. All I carry with me is phone, keys, wallet - all of which are useless on their own.

C) I think I’d like to give this a go. I have a couple of weeks of food in the house, I’ve got all my books. Kinda sucks not having electric once the batteries die - we have solar panels but they’re on a shed roof so all I’d get to take is the batteries and inverter! I’d expect to find potatoes in Peru which I could recognise and know how to turn into food, plus I know (in theory) how to test which plants are edible. My main concerns would be not speaking the language and not having the right skin colour. But I often think about whether it would be fun to live in the wilderness in prehistoric times (or I guess 1300s Peru…) and if I get to keep my books too, that sounds great! I’d probably die in a couple of years, especially if I try to stay alone, but why not try it?

FFS, I knew I should have bought those solar panels last week.
Having said that, I’m toast, dead in a week if a Jaguar doesn’t get me beforehand

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.

Nice I can give them a 192 year heads up about their nasty neighbors across the ocean

A) totally fucked

B) pretty fucked, but if the wildlife doesn’t get me I might stand a chance

C) gonna be a learning curve but should be good to go really

I’ve played enough RimWorld to know I wouldn’t be totally ok in any of these scenarios.

All it takes is a ransom bug bite or infection and home meds just won’t be enough.

A) Dead by dawn B) Dead in a month, probably from malaria or other local fauna, maybe from indigenous people C) Probably still dead by the end of the year from disease, but I do have a stockpile of food.

I’m not a survivalist, but I’m also not a meal planner, so having a bunch of canned and dried food makes throwing together meals easier. I have guns. A .308, and a guide gun, some handguns, which will be mostly useless. And a bunch of ammo, because for a few years I’d buy boxes of .308 on sales and bought way more than I shot; and I have everything needed to reload the guide gun because 45-70 ammo is damned expensive. So I could hunt and defend the house reasonably well, although indigenous peoples would still get me in the jungle if I left the house.

But, honestly, disease or wildlife would almost certainly get me sooner rather than later. No penicillin. Limited supply of pain medication, flouride. No knowledge of Peruvian wildlife outside of knowing that there are venemous animals and predators capable of taking humans. I don’t speak native Peruvian, whatever the languages were 720 years ago, so I can’t communicate with the natives. I don’t know what’s edible and what’s poisonous, so unless I go full Keto, I’m going hungry. It would be absurdly presumptuous to believe I could last any amount of time.
