Big mistake. During the Cretaceous period you dont catch fish. Fish catch you.

Unless I found a reliable daily source of 10 mg of Warfarin, I’d last about four, maybe five days.

I've seen much worse mental exercises. This at least took effort to pick apart.

Broad-spectrum antibiotics, relatively high caliber weaponry with ample ammunition, flares, and essential survival materials would go a long way. You'd still need premier athletes and/or endurance runners to stand a chance to make a functional settlement

Really crazy timing for this thread. I've been watching Terra Nova again (probably the best TV show to be canceled after the front 13) and some of the scenes have come to mind from time to time. I've thought about that night sky shot a lot since seeing it 10 years ago. They paid attention to details by calculating how big the moon would've looked back then. Then you have dinosaur attacks on par with any of the JP attack scenes. TBH if it was no weapons or rations I'd last a week at best. I would consider making it through the first 24 hours as a W.

100%. Even now a normal uncontaminated natural water source now can frick you up. Who knows what hell was in the water back then. You may drink some kind of tiny bug that proceeds to hollow you out.
