Good point.

Where would you get money today that would be accepted by anyone in this area 300 years ago?

Good thinking, but there is still something wrong with your math. The area of a circle with a diameter of 30 ft is just over 706 sq ft not 584. But what we really need to look at is volume since the OP says a sphere of a diameter of 30 ft. That would give us a volume of about 14,137 cubic ft. That's quite a bit of space.

I had to long of a day. I changed it for some reason. I had it at 706 earlier. Maybe that was the size of a perfect square I could fit in it. I do not remember honestly. But at 706sq ft=18758.8863 cubic feet.

Yeah, I've had days like that. Didn't mean to give you a hard time.

@smokingman would just walk away... and keep walking... and walking... and walking...

 

[Frosty]

@smokingman would just walk away... and keep walking... and walking... and walking...

And we’d probably never keep up, because we’re just not on that level yet…

 

[DoggyDaddy]

At 62, I don't reckon I'll ever get to that level.

Ah, you got it.

Robes, several lighters and fluid , history books, and what ever medicine you use to treat syphilis.

I would then work hard to create and establish a sex cult. They would clearly see me as the real deal due to all the "predictions" I would make that would come true. I'd then teach them that if they gather more folks and gather lots of cash I'll return some day and bring them salvation etc. Then use what ever device got me back there to jump back to when I left. Hopefully my cult survived and is super rich then I show up and be all like I'm back bitches let's drink and ****.


Boom super rich cult leader. Life long dream of mine.

Meh.
Been there done that.
Not all it’s cracked up to be.



Obviously apply purple.

Tools, and the knowledge to use them.
If I knew how to make gasoline and could take a chainsaw that would make a king.
As far as money mentioned upthread, brass and lead would be pretty good to trade with, although as you the only one with a gun it’s not going to be at fair market it’s going to be at velocity.

Space suit, lots of oxygen. Spot I am at now, 300 years ago, was very far away from earth. The earth, solar system, milky way, local group cluster are moving at high speed.

That is a great point regarding time travel. Is it also supposed to be distance travel?

I flew my drone about 25 miles south of Destin in the gulf. It told me I was in restricted airspace and asked if i had permission to fly there. Of course i said yes

It took off then told me to enter my code to prove i can fly there. Crap. It wanted to auto land where i took off from, which was fifty yards from where the boat was at now. Very nerve wracking experience having to keep cancelling the auto land while bringing it close enough to catch

You are never coming back. I'm on a hill near water. 20 foot shipping container or camper, solar, sxs, fuel, chain saw, meds, guns, tools, spare parts, I'm showing around the time of Indians and the French. building materials to make a protected area. I'd also need a team with me to survive. Extra 10 mm sockets

 

[bobzilla]

Oh I wouldn’t want to be HERE 300 years ago. I’d want to be south of here where winters are less severe.
Shipping container partially filled with building supplies to build shelter, seeds/gardening supplies, ammo and multiple duplicate firearms (1911’s in .45, two 5.56 ar’s, scoped .30-30’s), clothing and shoes. Also at least 2 years of MRE’s to get you through the first season until you can be self sustaining. And toilet paper. Lots of that.

I doubt I’d bother with anything modern requiring solar panels for charging. But I guess if you just installed them on the container that would work. It could be the core of your new home, build around it and use it as a safe room.
