Am I human? Because if I get to be a squirrel, that makes things easier. I'm not sure why I'd have clothes though, unless they're little squirrel clothes, or I decided to make a nest out of some dead dude's remains. I probably collected the knife because it's shiny, though. Squirrels like shiny things.

35 degrees Celsius is pretty hot. However, 15 degrees C is pretty cold, so I'd keep it on to keep my body cool and warm when they are both needed. As it's probably near a town, I would climb the summit to see where I am. There's likely to be a town below. I would make for it, while avoiding the predators and other harmful animals. If the walk takes me more than just the daytime to do it, then I would sleep in the treetops at night...

That is, if I didn't have a cell phone to call someone...

Why am I not wearing underclothes?
Isn't "slightly" mountainous like being "slightly" pregnant?

If your PM's and VM's weren't disabled I would have asked your permission to quote you in my sig. But since they are, I just quoted you anyway.

Oh yeah, that's true. He'd have to befriend me though since I don't have the option to. It doesn't matter though, I quoted him already. I'm sure he won't mind.

The God-Emperor protects me....
I would mysteriously find a vox and call for transport off world

I would find a food and water source, then slowly build up my shelter until some native tribe comes and colonizes me. I will then attempt to uprise and escape only to be colonized again on my way to freedom.

Once you build a shelter, just make sure you keep the taxes low and new population will move in. Then you can draft some as warriors (don't forget to build a makeshift barracks first), and you should be safe from any outside threats for a little while as you continue to expand. Aim to conquer the native tribes and you'll be a Lord in no time.
