Antibiotics, a backpack, some claymores, a dentrifice, ear muffs, fruit tree seeds, a generator, a herd of horses, insect repellant and jereboams\* of acid.\*\* - - Double-magnum (4.5 liters) \*\* - Sulphuric, hydrochloric and nitric acid are essentials to all sorts of basic chemical and manufacturing procedures.\*\*\* \*\*\* - We **are** founding a new civilization, right? ---

Wrong kind of “acid”! 😃 And its a guitar, not a generator. And now in addition to horsies, insect repellant and jereboams (why not wine there? ;)), we are also taking along copious quantities of kosher salt. ---

Antibiotics, a backpack, some claymores, a dentrifice, ear muffs, fruit tree seeds, a guitar, a herd of horses, insect repellant, jereboams of acid, kosher salt and lots of lentils. **FGE** - We are in the south of France. If somebody will bring vines, grape we can make our own. ---

If somebody will bring vines, grape we can make our own. OK. Now we are bringing along an M-60 machinegun. We will be greeted as gods, if not liberators. 😃 ---

Those of you who are bringing along landmines and machine guns, who exactly are you planning to go to war with? This is the Pliocene Europe we’re talking about. Human ancestors were just reaching the Australopithecine stage. You’re declaring war on creatures that are around the level of chimpanzees. And besides, Australopithecines never got out of Africa. ---

Human ancestors were just reaching the Australopithecine stage. You’re declaring war on creatures that are around the level of chimpanzees. And besides, Australopithecines never got out of Africa. Clearly you have missed all the lovely chimpanzee attack threads.

Since we already brought some quinoa, let’s bring the quinine along this time around. And **Little Nemo** , the weapons and landmines are for defense and hunting. And to show off to any humanoid creatures we might find to impress them and treat us as their overlords. We will give them kittens to play with also, as invariably a Doper is going to insist on bringing domesticated cats. ---

Antibiotics, a backpack, claymores, a dentrifice, ear muffs, fruit tree seeds, a guitar, a herd of horses, insect repellant, jereboams of acid, kosher salt, lots of lentils, an M-60 machinegun, a nuclear power plant, an oven (solar), a piss pot, quinine, and robots.
