My dad and I were watching "Return of the King" tonight (it was his first time) and I started thinking (always trouble there). What would you take with you if you were going to Middle Earth during the timeline of the Lord of the Rings? Here's my top five list:
5. 50 lbs of gold in ounce ingot form (because you can ALWAYS trade it for almost anything you want--gold is a universal currency)
4. a laminated bow and an almost ridiculous supply of arrows (like Legolas in the movies) XD [Note: Actually, they weren't as bad on that as 99% of Robin Hood movies in existence....]
3. a samurai sword made by the old Japanese masters (God, the Japanese make good weapons--and so do the Russians...)
2. armor + bodysuit (heavily shock resistant carbon fiber armoring and kevlar/nomex bodysuit) for defense
1. a printed and laminated copy of selected Wikipedia articles, bound in leather (in tiny print because that would be hellishly hard to carry otherwise)
Wikipedia would be especially essential, because then I could figure out how to rig anything I had forgotten from the extensive info in the wiki, especially since I'm a jack-of-all-trades in real life (despite being under 20 years old).
So what would you take with you? Plz comment or PM.
