I see where you're going here, but if you change your ancestor's lives that much you might never be born.
That would cause one helluva ripple in time.
Definitely a good idea to learn the languages, but with only 72 hours to prepare it might be hard to accomplish
Good for a 300 year trip or a 2.5 year trip.
I assume this would also be before your Native American sex cult
You’ll fit right in in your ingo thong.
Similar to what I was thinking, trade goods. Even cheap carbon steel knife blades are better than what they had then, arrow heads, pots/pans, axe heads, etc. Oh and a good English-French dictionary, since this was French territory then and the French built a fort 5 yrs before I would be getting there about 20 miles or so away. Along with a translation dictionary for any Indians I would be likely to run into. But instead of firewater, I'd just bring supplies to make it.Beads and firewater?
Wasn't even thinking of the satellites. But I could see a use for a smartphone/tablet. Such as translation programs, books especially how to using period tools. It would be smart to keep paper backups, but just for transportation you can store a lot on a tablet.
Are you going to download the material before you leave? What languages?
There’s a tale around here that says that one of the first federal surveyors rode around the area (we call it Mullendores curves or Ratsburg) for 3 days on horseback, and the water was between his ankles and his waist the whole time. Wrote in his ledger that this area would never be good for anything.
Books, English language. And yes, download before leaving, spend a few minutes setting up a queue and let it download while doing other things.
Go and live on a 30' sailboat and I bet you change your opinion.
TJBB is a witch!
