William Brand Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 I would pack a camera. If I came back without pics, blackjohn and Gentlemen of Fortune would join forces and have me killed.
Rumba Rue Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Soap stuff for my contact lenses and extra lenses hair brush toothbrush and extra tubes of toothpaste camera and lots of extra batteries Money (of the period of course) all hidden very well in leather bag.
CrazyCholeBlack Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Darn, all I can think of is Feminine hygiene stuff Otherwise it wouldn't be so much what I brought there as what I brought back!

Ransom Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Hmmm...Well, the antibiotic and toothpaste thing, of course. Then maybe... 50 proof sunblock (sorry, I burn easy) My lavender & vanilla skin lotion A year's supply of Excendrin extra pairs of reading glasses nice undies (sorry, no scratchy wool knickers for me) digital camera & batteries journal, pen and water paints Dorothy Dunnett's Lymond of Crawford series for reading material. A picture of my husband (I'd really miss him—no, wait) My husband! And, a transport key, so I could zip all my found treasures back to the new world. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Silkie McDonough Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 Since we don't seem to be worried about being burned at the stake for consorting with the devil my list is as follows ...so far. Waterproof digital camera, batteries and billions of mega pixels worth of memory cards,flash, and a macro/zoom lens (three of each). One years worth of: -Birth control pills, one can eliminate the need for feminine hygiene products that way. -Excedrin, migrains can be debilitating (however with fewer toxins in my life I may not need it!) -Drawing paper, large sheets -Back packing water purifier -Cutlass -Flintlock or three (powder horn, powder, etc.) -Blunder buss (powder horn, powder, etc.) -Knife or more -Eye glasses -Binoculars (Nice compact set of Bushnell or the like.) -Antibiotic -Sunblock, but I just need it for the first few weeks. -Sun glasses

Janette Morgan Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Hmm... Feminine hygeine products, obviously. Underwear. (Can't believe nobody though o'that.) Multivitamins, o'course. Not much of a pill-popper, but I'd like to live. Hydrogen peroxide (to clean the water). A good pack o'lighters. Or a nine-volt 'n' steel wool. Money, 'course. Me camera, case and a plastic bag. Spare camera batteries. LOTS o'spare camera batteries. A good map. Pepper spray, to ward off frisky pirates and to cheat in swordfights. A hairbrush (and maybe some elastics). A large bottle of Palmolive dish soap. And in the way of that baker's dozen, me sister. T'would be insufferably cruel to go without her.

Cap'n Pete Straw Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 1. Feminine hygiene products, so I can sell them at highly inflated prices to lady time-travellers from the Pub who left them off their own list. 2. Digital camera 3. DV Camcorder 4. Laptop to upload and save all the stuff captured with #2 & 3... with WiFi connector -- maybe I can find a live link and post them directly back to the Pub and brag about what I am doing. 5. Captain Chicken (if you don't already know, don't start asking now) 6. Sonic Screwdriver 7. Almanac or other comprehensive reference guide listing all eclipses, major storms and other climatic events during the pertinent year in question. 8. One year's supply of condoms 9. One year's supply of multivitamins 10. Neosporin 11. My LeMat revolver 12. It was hard choosing 11 of these. I defer my #12 slot as a Wild Card to be chosen later.

And you want to talk about a sterile dressing? Try finding one of those in the GAoP. "He's a Pirate dancer, He dances for money, Any old dollar will do...
