ITT : We are in the year 1700 and you are located at the same place you are right now...

I'd be 18 years too early for my city (San Antonio), but assuming the Comanche don't kill me I might find Spaniards at the SA River.
They'd probably have at least some churches, right?

>Random shitstain on Minnesota frontier
>End up trading in furs
>Die because Natives don't like that you killed the buffalo

>Eastern Rhode Island
I'd be within walking distance from a VERY small village (like maybe 30-40 people), populated by Congregationalist settlers. A decade or two later, my town was incorporated from a separate town because of that village. Not many natives in the area I believe, because King Philip's war was over, and they had either moved on or they were subjugated.

tl;dr could be a hell of a lot worse!

>Texas
I can speak Tex-Mex Spanish

Think that'll convince the Spaniards to like me?

>suburb of Washington DC

Northern VA wasn't settled at that time AFAIK but I suppose I could make my way down to Jamestown if I had a map/compass. Maybe some Native Americans would help me. But most likely I'd freeze to death before I made it there.

>Charlottesville

Ideally, I run into some Indians, and the Indians see my white-ass skin, assume I wandered off from one of the colonies, and I end up at Jamestown.

Ideally, said Indians aren't at war with the Europeans, or I'm in for a rough time.

My region wasn't settled until 1836 and the nearest town was probably on the coast of lake Michigan, from which I am thirty miles. at -10, my chances of making it are zero.

would probably use the pistol to kys myself.

Istanbul.I am comin fo dat Europe of yours whitey.

>Indianapolis
Time to look for some fellow British Colonialists!
Probably die on the way East, though.

Eh, my city was pretty tiny in 1700, but it's a port so I get on a ship top America, make my way to California, and plant myself a vineyard and live the good life.

>Miami, Florida
>Fucking swampland as far as the eye can see

Yea I'm fucked. Use that pistol on myswlf once the food runs out

Cardiff, Wales.

I'd be fine I'm in a part of Cardiff that wouldn't have been built on yet, so I'd be trespassing someone's farmland or something, my biggest threat is being shot or something by them. If not though I can just stumble around until I find the city centre where I can be a bum and live my life as a disgusting worthless hobo.

>Zone 10 of Guatemala City
The city wasn't properly founded until 1776 by the viceroyalty of the Captaincy General of Guatemala. So I'd be sitting in the middle of a huge valley with a tiny church town nearby (El Carmen). Considering I'm fair skinned, armed, and speak spanish and english, I wouldn't have much trouble fitting in with the local conquistadores.

tldr: comfy conquistador life at El Carmen

>Iceland I will die in few hours from the cold, there are no guns and everyone is poor as shit, iceland was in the 17th century to the danes what new York was to snake plisken, a fkn prison

Im about a mile from a Hudson River settlement. I'm not exactly dressed for the weather but I think I could make it.

I think if op made this thread not in December we'd all have a chance of doing better.

I'm ok with this

I'd hire you as stable boy if you like, you won't starve, be drunk every week and the local whores will know your name and preferences.

>tfw Fraser Valley, B.C.
I'd probably end up bumming around the massive cedar forests living as a hunter gatherer (or just a gatherer since I'm a skilless, stupid, and squeamish. As far as I know the native tribes who lived here where mostly peaceful salmon fishers so guess it wouldn't be to bad.

Northern Austria-Hungary. Speak weak Hungarian. Probably would become a peasant serf or something, if lucky become a part of the clergy as I can read/write and generally educated.

Poland.
Probably would just get raped and thrown into a ditch because i'm a woman.

OP, can you give us food and water for a month, a pistol with a few bullets, furs and boots, a modern-for-the-time map, a compass, and a cross?
And maybe start us off with April?

If you are close tho Gdansk or Wroclaw or Krakow you should be ok. If in the east, then rape and ditch it is indeed.

>rural NSW, Australia

I would be completely fine, the aboriginals were know to be hospitable towards runaway colonials as well as having agriculture in place. You just need to remove the European mindset off private property and your good to go.

OP here.
I should have mentionned that you have the appropriated clothing for where you are and you have enough food for 1 week

>New York, British New York
Better start working for a trading company or shipyard or something

Well I live in South Carolina so I'd probably just find a job on a ship somewhere.

If I'm lucky, I get found by some Algonquin tribesmen and they think my French is passable-enough to not assume I'm English. If they think I'm English, they slit my throat and dump me in the Ottawa river. If they think I'm French, maybe I get lucky and they bring me to Montreal or Quebec. There, I can go to Eastern Quebec and meet one of my ancestors.

>Middle of the Netherlands
I'll probably die digging peat or some shit.

>Monterrey, north of México

Probably spend time being bitten by scorpions, dying of the heat, secretly being jewish and attacking injuns.

Helsinki, Great Northern War is about to start. Probably going to be drafted and to die for Charles in some Russian shithole. Yes, I am fucked.

>thumb area michigan
hope to stumble upon some frenchies near rivers or something.

Northern New Jersey in December

Off to New Netherlands!

>New Netherlands
You New Jerseyite scum, the Brits took it over and renamed it in 1664

>How fucked are you?
Very fucked, considering I'm just about to fall down 10m.
Actually I'm surprised noone said it yet.

Same as you user, I live in the valley too.

Fuck, at least they speak english

>Tunisia
>Join a corsair crew, roaming the mediterranean and beyond looting and collecting european qts for my harem while singing jolly chanties
Not bad at all

>How fucked are you?
Nigga I'm dead. It's night in winter and I'm miles away from civilization while wearing just enough not to shiver in a room heated to 18°C.

Well, my town was supposedly here already. So maybe I would become a farmer or something.

>implying you wouldn't be a slave yourself, considering you have no clan ties and came from nowhere

Most people were still freaky deeky Dutch.
Meet me at the North Gate of Wall Street. We'll work something out.

sure thing m8

Literally no Spanish were living there in 1700, it was just a place on a map and probably some Ohlone people sitting around.

MN? Same bro. Maybe some Indian tribes will take pity on us.

Western Finland

Welp, time to build a hiding place somewhere remote and start stocking supplies, because the Russians are coming and the occupation wasn't called "The Great Hatred" for nothing.

>great black swamp in midwinter
I'll be dead by tomorrow morning.

Not tomorrow morning, 316 years -1 days ago.

Richmond, Virginia. Wasn't founded until 1737 so the closest English settlement would be either Williamsburg or Jamestown, about 60 or so miles southeast. So I'm fucked unless the Powhatan somehow decide not to kill me and I travel 60 miles on foot without dying.

Charleston, Province of Carolina
Those faggots in the northern part of the province are jealous that we in the southern half have the best harbor

>Rhode Island
I find work as a pirate, not too bad.

>living in humboldt
If the Indians don't kill.me first I'll trade my pistol for a metal sword and use it to unite the tribes and forge a wine/fishing empire in the northwest. Or catch a boat for Hawaii and spend my life insuring the survival of the kingdom of hawaii

88 years until whites arrive.

Just kill me now.

Coastal British Columbia

I'm pretty sure Europeans won't be around for another 88 years, so I'd probably be fucked. The people here were pretty peaceful though, and they'd probably be impressed by my blue eyes, so if I was lucky I'd get enslaved by one of the groups until I could learn a bit of their language.

Then I'd try to convince them I was a time traveler from the future, start impregnating native girls to give them my disease resistant genes, and try my hardest to unite the various tribes to resist European advancement and maintain their civilization. If I was lucky I'd even be remembered as the time traveling philosopher king that united the Salish tribes, and retire to a longhouse with a haram of qts and a cool hat.

Realistically I'd probably get murdered for sport when one of the more violent tribes raids the coast and sees the shitty hut I've built for myself.

>Southern Spain

I know how to write, english and some maths.
I could get a good job, something unattainable today

Sofia, Bulgaria in 1700
>Still under Ottoman rule, I'd look around at my olden city, try to eat a few days with the locals and the run across the Danube where all the revolutionaris are.

I'd walk down to the Spanish mission just a mile down the road from where I live and settle with them. My Spanish is passable (modern Spanish, anyways) and I'd work and help them explore and study to gain myself access to a bed and food.

Southern California here, btw. So in all likelihood the mission would still be just an outpost on the frontier of Alta California, so I'd probably use my pistol and food monies to secure an escort south to the settlements in Baja California or elsewhere in mexico

Maybe I could find some indians or something

>Show him my "crazy ideas"
I'm fucking rotted that we're 120 years before the percussion cap so I have to invent that too.
If I can get caps working then I create a magazine fed bolt-action with a muzzle brake, chambered in a .40cal cased round. I suppose you could also do cartridges with a flash hole and use existing lock designs.
Imagine the speed of a straight-pull bolt action with a 4-5 round tubular magazine as compared to a muzzle loading firearm.
If I could make the spring I'd also try a box magazine.
With my fortune from guns and ammo, I start buying copper for:
1, jacketed bullets.
2, electrical wire.
Hopefully at this point I have the money to start building hydroelectric.

Also, as soon as I have money to spare I start buying paper and ink. I will be writing down everything I can remember about modern technology.

If everyone ITT gets to go as well, I expect we'll have a lot of fun making all the conspiracy theories come true. Hell, maybe this already happened and our real tech IS 100+ years ahead of what we see every day. Maybe we're the reptilian overlords. Who's the scalyfag? Who voted to go that way? Dammit.

>Walk 50 miles to New York City

I'd be fine

Probably less fucked than now. I live in the muslim ghettos of Sweden.

lol same here, but from Jersey

>Swedish northern west coast

The closest village would be at most few hours away, where I could find work, eventually making my way towards a larger city, where I could find a well-paying job with my 21st century education in mathematics, english, physics, chemistry et.c

Or I'd be conscripted for the great northern war and freeze to death in russia.
