Could You Survive The American Colonial Period?

You were so adept at survival that you even had time to build up your reputation and holdings, and become a member of the gentry in your old age.

You didn't amass riches, but with what you accomplished, your children and their children have a chance to be well off. You did well enough to carve yourself out a home and begin a trade that you can pass on to your children.

You went through some rough patches, and you may have had to start over a few times, but you are able to farm and feed your family, and that's a big enough accomplishment in the colonies.

You got through the tough times, but you had to lean so much on others that you lost any footing you had when you arrived. You are likely now indentured to one of the gentry as a servant.

You barely hung on by a thread. You were probably a member of one of the lost colonies, threading your way through the forests of America, learning from the indigenous peoples, and being taken care of by them.

Hey, don't feel bad. The colonies were rough and full of diseases, insects, animals, and perils that were completely unknown to the rest of the world. However, you might want to start carrying a first aid kit and a survivalist book anytime you go out for a walk. Be prepared!
