The year is 1550
You are an Englishmen being dropped off in the new world to "check things out" and report back to King Edward. A ship will return for you in exactly one year. Approximate drop off location is modern day Boston. Drop off time will be fall.
Assume that you have a backpack of whatever clothing you want along with a good pair of boots. You will also have a couple days of food and water to start you out. ...AND NOTHING ELSE
You are now allowed to go to Gander MT, Dicks sporting goods or whatever other store you want in todays world and purchase 10 other things. Assume that if you buy a gun, bow or fishing rod, that it comes with a years worth of ammunition, arrows, and general fish tackle. (Only counts as one item) Buy anything you want but remember things like GPS satelittes and gas havn't been invented yet so buying a chainsaw or a GPS unit isn't going to help you much.
So.............what do you bring?
