Basically the title, you need to use the skills you have now and be a productive member of society.

I don’t mean go back and show the wheel or try invent germ theory etc.

For example I’m a mechanic i think I could go back to the late 1800s and still fix and repair engines and steam engines.

Maybe even take that knowledge further back and work on the first industrial machines in the late 1700s but that’s about it.

    No medicine, no hospitals, no diagnostic or treatment tools? No trauma care. How much can you really do?

    As a non-medical person, I can’t do much more than sterilize a wound and apply a bandage. All respect to you but that far back would you be able to do any more?
