@kaylapaulsen73679 ай бұрын
One thing I think you missed in this scenario is that you're not going alone, you're going as a group! So it is vital for items to be picked that benefit more than one person. For example, lets say you have a group of 5 people... One person brings a wooden handcart, single handedly doubling the entire group's carrying capacity so long as there is halfway flat ground. Only one person brings the large oilcloth tarp, freeing a slot for the other four people. Everyone should be huddling together for warmth at night anyway One person brings a small keg or barrel, to hold more drinking water than 5 water bottles combined One person brings preserved rations in a wooden box, to keep in the cart with the barrel of water, safe from rodents And lastly, someone brings small, lightweight valuables that can be traded in town for supplies Just like that, you've freed up some slots for everyone while also increasing the survivability of the whole group Some other ideas: A rowboat or pair of canoes is a gamechanger if you know there are going to be lakes or navigable rivers. More capacity than the handcart, less tiring than walking, and you can flip it upside down for shelter Whittling tools, so one person can make cups and utensils for everybody If a couple people bring bows, then the other three should bring shields and a melee weapon. Fighting up close should be avoided, but you can't count on the fight avoiding you A cooking pot, just one big one for the group
@Disgruntled_Grunt9 ай бұрын
Good points. Though I don't think you would want to bring shields as that takes up one of your initial slots, and they're simple enough that anybody with basic carpentry skills could make them, or just buy/barter for them with those lightweight valuables you mentioned. The handcart, though, is a game changer and not something I had even thought of.

Way back in high school, considering my age lets say when dinosaurs walked the earth, A number of us did survival camping. It would be a week in the woods, temperate forest, spring and summer. We had a weight limit, which we kept lowering every year. The last time we did this, I think around 1989 or 1990, 2 of us were down to an oversized wool blanket and a large knife each. This wasn't D&D though, it was teaching ourselves to get as close to the stone age as we could. I think your picks are great and reasonable. Medieval fantasy, my picks would be 1)a good long knife, like a sax, 2)a king size heavy wool blanket, 3) a small shovel, 4) a pound of salt, 5) a heavy piece of horn or antler, with a rounded end and a pointed end, called a bopper.... Here's why. A bobber is the primary tool for making flint tools. A shovel can be made with wood, using the knife, but it's a lot more effort than just having one. and a shovel is incredibly useful for building a shelter, digging a fire pit, digging for roots when foraging, and setting small animal traps. Salt is about the best pre-refrigeration preservative for food, and has historically been highly valued for trade. The blanket obviously keeps you warm, and can act as a bag to carry your stuff. A knife, or at least a sharp edge and a sharp point are about the most basic and most useful tools anyone can have. With these and a little knowledge and practice, anyone should be able to make anything else they need, including any other tools they need. remember, there was pottery, loom fabric, glue, drills and farming in the stone age. You can make anything you need or want out of what's around you in the woods.

Where you start is incredibly important. If I was to start in the city, I would prefer a couple things of value to trade instead of survival gear. Hopefully the economy is as busted as 90% of the dnd campaigns I've been in. If we're talking about a general "start in the middle of nowhere", I'd probably bring these: A survival guide - assuming that the flora and fauna are mostly the same (bar a few outliers), securing fruits is easier than killing game. 50ft of rope - enough said. Small axe - reasons from the video. A compass - more for use later, my plan is finding a settlement to live in rather than immediately go adventuring. A waterskin - because reaching a settlement is my highest priority, and these things are important. If I started in a city, I'd trade the survival guide and rope for valuables which I'd keep for trade. Maybe even swap the waterskin for a big loaf of bread based on how good the local water would be.

Salt would have been reasonably valuable but not extraordinarily so in a "European" setting. Most families in that era would have salted a hogs worth of pork which would have required about 40 pounds of salt. It was also used for cleaning and day to day cooking so not really worth it's weight in gold. Sugar would probably have been completely unknown, except possibly to doctors, prior to the Renaissance so you'd have problems selling it. Honey would be a better choice. Spices, assuming they were known varieties in the culture, would be valuable especially as you'd have access to much fresher sources due to modern transportation. But it would be a bit like walking into your local ghetto with a $10,000 dollar suit and a $25,000 dollar Rolex. A good way to get a cracked skull and stripped.

The 5 "C's". Cutting- a cutting tool of some kind. Needs to be large enough to process wood. A large camp knife (8-10 inch blade, and a quarter inch thick is most versatile) Container- needs to be able to be put in a fire. A steel pot would be best. Preferably one you can boil water or make char-cloth in. Combustion- some way to make fire. Flint and steel would be most reliable. It will be enhanced by the 2nd 'C', if you can make char-cloth. Cover- some type of oilcloth tarp. 3 x 3 meters is perfect. Quick shelter and water resistant. Cordage- some type of spool of either bank line, or high quality hemp rope. Strong enough to be used for trap making, but also fine enough to used for finer tasks. Something you could twist 3 strands to make a climbing rope strong enough to hold at least your weight.

Love it, it's like the fantasy version of "what ten items would you take on Alone" 😄 Kind of agree about most of your picks too. Assuming basic kit includes a cloak and brooch then: 1. Bow and arrows because like you I already know how to use them 2. Tarp for shelter because ugh, wet kit 3. Rope - because I'd want something to rig the tarp up with 4. Vessel that could be used for cooking or holding water - I've got a little enamel Billy can that has a cup as a lid which is lightweight and a super cute bit of kit. 5. Hmm, axe v knife. I guess axe because it can be used as a knife if needed, plus chop bigger bits of wood. But I'm not sure about this one! 😄

A few random thoughts: A small belt knife would be included, as everybody wore them. One could argue the same for a cup or noggin. As for the items, I would forego the bow, as I'm not sufficiently good with one to hunt with it, and instead go for a copper, iron or bronze cooking pot. Most "survival food" needs to be cooked to be worth the energy it takes to farm it, and it also gives you an option to boil any water you come across: getting the trots in a survival situation can literally kill you! Also, with rope/string and a knife, you can make a fire drill. It's less random than hoping to find flints, and, since it works on friction and heat, you get embers, not sparks. I never had too much luck with flint and steel, but feathered sticks, birch bark and a fire drill works!
@rasputin27505 ай бұрын
a modern ferro rod would be so good for a fantasy/medieval setting. people really underestimate how many sparks flint and steel kicks out. they needed a dedicated firestarting material (charcloth) for those sparks to really do anything. to be able to set alight some wood shavings would be so clutch, especially as an adventurer.

1. Bow with arrows (if they are counted as one) 2. Blacksmith's knife 3. Metal pot 4. Rope 5. Oil cloth tarp With the bow I can defend myself and procure food/pelts for sustenance and trade. The blacksmith's knife is an all around good tool and the handle can strike sparks for fire making. The metal pot can cook food, boil water, and carry delicate items. The rope is a good all around tool. The oil cloth tarp can create a micro climate and be used as a bedroll for carrying items coupled with the rope.

Being able to prepare for the transportation, I think those are good items to take. As far as the scenario, where you explain what happens that would allow you to have prepared in such a way, I suppose your party could have been at a renaissance festival, all in character. I personally like the idea of being allowed something "small" from your own time. The modern item is kind of equivalent to being magical, and maybe a way to balance characters, so if one person is obviously going to have a higher STR, then perhaps you allow the the other character to get a bit more "powerful" item.

I don't know anything about archery, so I'd probably take a small fishing kit instead of a bow when it comes to gathering food. I'd take a small copper or brass pot (Preferably with a bail handle so it could be carried on a stick) and a hatchet, and the last thing I'd absolutely insist on is a good, sturdy pair of hobnailed leather boots. If you're going to be walking around in the wilderness a lot, smooth-soled medieval boots are going to be a nightmare. And since a first-aid kit is NOT on this list, you don't want to be slipping and tripping all the time.

Honestly, my focus would be on using my knowledge to trade up in this world. To that end, my single most important item would be a reference notebook to keep better track of things I can't always remember perfectly. Not like, an encyclopedia set or something, that could be stolen and used by any literate person, but a reference of notes to keep formulas, amounts, etc. straight. Knowledge is extremely valuable, and in a world where there is (relatively) little, the scientific knowledge I already have in my noggin could be a game changer on a civilizational level. Yes, magic can replicate a lot of that, but if magic were common, they wouldn't be medieval style... They'd probably be closer to Renaissance at the very least. So the basic plan would be to help the nearby village with this knowledge, get on their good side, and get their help on things I wouldn't be so good at, like getting food and water in these sorts of situations. Get paid for my knowledge in food and survival tools and dare I say: friendship. Get to the point where I could travel to a city, and find someone to teach me magic or, should I be unable, someone who can use their magic to correct my medical issues. Use my knowledge (and hopefully magic) to endear myself to the nobles or whoever runs things, get in good with them, and be set in this fantasy world. As for the rest of the kit, a good weapon does seem necessary. Someone else mentioned a machete, and between it's survival uses and utility as a weapon I'm inclined to agree that it's the best choice. In fighting a war, a polearm might be better, but for self defense and as a crafting tool, a machete fills so many gaps it's hard to say no to. Something valuable I could use for physical trades would be great as well, but a singular, valuable item seems like asking for trouble, as does appearing to be wealthy without having a good group of friends around. There also the issue of most people not having anything worth trading for a single super valuable item or being willing to trade for it. If it could count as a single item, a bag of aluminum ball bearings might be great, since the small size per bearing and the numerous nature of them makes them actually reasonable to use it trade. It's not as obvious a thing to steal as a bag full of gold coins, either. Finally, aluminum is worth *more* than gold due to its scarcity in past societies, but very easy to aquire in modern times. Still... Might not be useful until I reach a city, since farmers and wot would have little use for it. As for the other slots, some survival niceties, like a bottle, aren't a bad idea, but given how focused I'd be on the social side of things... I wouldn't plan on roughing it for long, so I'm not terribly concerned with them.

I had a warrior character that was freaky strong(str19). His solution was to haul a 300 pound sledge with all his gear, food and equipment. The best part was that he never had to leave anything behind. It was so huge that it could be caulked and used as a raft or ferry to cross lakes and rivers kinda like a covered wagon. It could be knocked apart and reassembled into a shelter, table or stretcher. One of my favorite ideas from the age of geek. But if I had to take just 5 items, they would be, axe, knife, flint, ghille cloak(a kind of extra large, heavier cloak that can double as a house) or great tartan, and a canteen or waterskin.

Compound bow with 30 arrows (does this count as one?). Survival knife (skinning game). Both of those are for hunting, and some bushcraft. Metal canteen (water). Flint with striker (fire). Wool blanket, which can be used as a tent. If possible, I can possibly trade some hides for rope, or make my own from the hide.

I ran a D&D campaign way back last century when I was in high school (mid 80's) where I told the players that they were themselves once they showed up to play. They only had what they were wearing and what was in their pockets. Other than some gum a couple had some change that they managed to convince some farmers were silver, with knowing that actual silver coins were about the size of a dime I let quarters be worth 2sp. That helped them at least purchase their initial food. If I knew beforehand I would bring my hatchet, my gold bracelet for money, my bowie knife (ALWAYS carry a dagger!), and my two black wool 5x7 blankets. The blankets are not woven wool thread but unfinished thick wool and I used them for my bed when camping (with other blankets). One time the temp didn't get above freezing all weekend and rolling myself into them like a burrito kept me really warm. I could use one for a shelter if necessary and one as a bed/blanket. Also since I own two fur (fake) cloaks would one of those be my cloak? Plus you would need a cloak pin to wear it and I do have a large brass one similar to what you have, I don't think that should count as an extra item, how else would you keep your cloak on? People didn't tie their cloaks like most larpers do they used pins, they are found in graves when the person was buried with a cloak all the time. I thought about my bow but unfortunately all my arrows for it are padded for larping so it wouldn't do me much good. And would the bow be a separate item from arrows, and wouldn't each arrow be an item? If not I have two K-bars that look the same and would consider them a matching set and therefor one item if a bow with a quiver plus multiple arrows can all be counted as one and take them instead of the bowie knife..
