I've often thought of this...

I'd go back to either the Xia or Shang dynasties of China (this is about 2,000 B.C.). I would be a white man and regarded as a curiosity.

I'd go in marine gear. Assume fully stocked marine, with assault rifle, bullets, flares, grenades. This is ONLY for an emergency since all the weaponry are non-replaceable.

What would I take with me? A computer and laptop stocked with encyclopedias, newspaper archives, magazine archives, books, books, and more books. As much as I can fit on it. Also include spare parts for items that will break down. However, this needs energy, so, I will also take a portable generator + diesel for the start, and move towards solar and wind energy.

The goal is to arrive, and then to intimidate people. Go see the king, intimidate him, and ask to be made the chief magus. Setup shop. Defense is the first priority, against snooping people that want to steal your stuff. Second is energy. Get your solar panels and wind turbine on top of the palace roof or something. The diesel + generator is only for emergencies.

It would be a lot of fun.
