On technology & comforts, what would you bring?
I'd think the following would be helpful:
-Pencils. Notebooks.
-Cast iron cooking stuff, Dutch oven in particular. Perhaps only a dutch oven cast iron, with the rest of pots/pans whatever being sturdy standard wares. Balance between weight & longevity. One of our lightweight coated frying pans is around twenty years old with no issues, used frequently, however cared for well.
-homesteading tools.
-?grain/meat grinder.
-The quandary, modern electronics: e-readers with entertainment & information dumps (including how to videos), solar panels, electric tools (chainsaw, drill, sawzall) I wouldn't think a circular saw would be helpful? Drone-would be handy to map out the area plus look for suitable game/water, without expending as much manual scouting. Camera/security system?? Thermal imaging system (are such available to attach as NODs to a bump helmet??).
-enhanced ear pro.Bluetooth would give option to listen to instructions/entertainment AND enhance surrounding noises. Also hearing protection if you would have to shoot. A big one there, as that's a sense well worth protecting particularly in said unknown environment.
-Bluetooth speakers? It would be interesting to see how predators of the time would would react to forms of our modern "music". May give one extra reaction time???
...more modern tech thoughts to follow...
