Time Traveler Cheat Sheet

timetravelcheatsheet

So, you go back in time.  You can only take so much with you.  There will be no wi-fi or charging stations.  So, you need to know a few things to help you survive in primitive times.  The above can be found on posters, even t-shirts, that you can take with you.  Sanitation, clean food and water, and developing basic medicines are kind of a priority.  Boil your water, pasteurize your milk, wash your hands regularly, try to live in the country, especially the northern climes if during the Black Plague.  Born on fleas, the port areas on the warm Mediterranean coastline lost as many as half of their population.  Inland northern Germany did not have any problems.  It was too cold for the fleas and too far away for ships to bring it.

What information and crib notes would you bring to the remote past?  What items would you bring that would fit in a backpack?  Spare eye glasses and repair kit for me for sure.  Would not be fun to be blind in the past.
