That's why I say make the most of this opportunity, and choose your "companions" wisely.

I certainly won't be missed, but there are a few people the world would be better off without. Time to take one for the team, I guess...

Those handheld laser "dazzlers" would go a long way I'd guess.

That and some crazy powerful lasers to blind them as well.

Beyond that I'd think flash bangs would scare the shit out of even the biggest ones.

The other guys can carry a 45 pound weight plate in a backpack. I'd like to be able to outrun them if needed. To be fair, they can also carry a sharp stick.

If I'm walking and can bring any weapon I want, then it's a big 'ole fucking fully loaded and state of the art tank.
You'll have to work out the logistics, as this is your fantasy - I'm just playing along.

I wouldn't do it.

There really is no loadout for a human on foot that is going to ensure success. Seriously. A coordinated ambush attack from multiple raptors at close quarters and I think I'm really going to stand a chance with any firearm? They won't even know what it is and what it is capable of doing to them until long after the encounter is decided.

Does anyone even know how long it would take a .50 bmg to incapacitate a t-Rex with a COM hit...assuming you are even up to humping one on foot through the bush from one side of an island to the other?

I suspect stealth, cover scents, night vision, flash bangs and tear gas are probably going to do more to increase your odds of survival than any man portable weapons system would.

You might be on to something here....I'll bet the flash bangs and tear gas would at least scare / distract them long enough to gain some distance.  I'd still want a big fucking gun though!

I think I'd also pick 2 SF guys that know what they're doing and offer them a sizable chunk of my $60M to ensure that I made it across alive.  Otherwise I'd be the slow guy

The M1A2  Abrams is a "weapon" and you have to walk to get in it.


If I'm on foot, one man carrying a Carl Gustav with airburst loaded and a few extra in reserve, guy number 2 carrying an Mg4 with a solid API belt, man 3 with a light weight AR10, with munitions for the Gustav and the Mg4, all three will carry a Mark 23 in reserve. Raptors wouldn't require a very big round to put down, and anything bigger, well that's Carl's job

Yes. It's actually a pretty small island, could make it in a day if you started early. 

I'd walk along the edge where there shouldn't be many predators. 

SIG MCX Rattler SBR and a Bradshaw Double Rifle in .450NE should cover all my bases without being overly heavy. 

ETA: If I get two helpers, one has a M79 40mm and a lot of HEAT and HE in MAG-D dispensers, and the other is our medic and has med supplies and extra food/water in his pack. Both have SIG MCX Rattler SBRs as sidearms.

My life isn't that exciting, so I'd call the risk worth the possible reward.

As for outfitting:

454 revolver
10mm Glock
HK91
Some sort of big bore hunting rifle
Benelli M4 with Slugs
AKM

Split that loadout up between the people involved

The velociraptors would be the biggest fear factor, everything else you could likely avoid, outsmart, or kill without too much issue

The odds of dying during my commute are about 1:11000 lifetime.  Pretty small odds considering the rewards of being able to afford food and shelter.

If the odds of surviving on Isla Sorna were in the same ballpark as the odds of surviving my daily commute then the movies wouldn't have been nearly as entertaining.

First question:

Am I only paid if I survive? If I'm paid in advance, and can spend or give the money away as I see fit before starting the adventure, I would most certainly volunteer.

Second question:

Do my companions have to also be volunteers, or can I pick anyone I choose?

If given an unrestricted choice in companions, and they don't have the option to refuse, I now have an opportunity to make the world a better place, and make sure my family is well provided for in the process. Sounds like a win/win to me!

The hardest part would be choosing only two companions. As my solution to that problem, for one of my weapons I would pick a large trebuchet, and provide a list of people I'd like to use as ammunition. After all, you did say we could have any weapon, but would have to carry it on foot. I don't plan to take it with me once I run out of ammunition...

As for weapons: KSG with laser sight, mixed specials purpose rounds and #4 shot, S&W 686 200gr hardcast, all the ammo I can carry and a Parang.  
The other two can have whatever they want to carry.

Loadout:

First companion would have an RPG-7 for anything particularly large
Second companion would have a flame thrower.  Most animals fear fire, and we would apply liberally as needed.  ETA: I'm not above burning down the entire damned jungle either, if that's what it takes.
I would have a 50 Beowulf AR.
Everyone would have PDW sized subgmachine guns in 10mm Auto.  If that's too bulky, then Glock 20s modified for select fire with recoil compensators.  These would really be for small stuff or last ditch.  Flamethrower is the real weapon for medium sized problems, and the RPG for large problems that aren't interested in going away.

I would consider giving everyone thermal imaging, and moving mostly at night.  I don't know if dinos see infrared or not.  If they don't, then moving at night with thermal would allow us to see them without them seeing us, making it easier to avoid problems.

We would practice strict food handling so as not to leave anything out that would attract unwanted attention.

This differs by island. Which one are we doing here?

Also Eric was an idiot. More authoritive figures in movie 2 said the predators stayed in the core. There is a lot of inland fresh water, and they will stay around that more than salt water.

Alright, so Isla Nublar was described as 8 miles long and 3 miles at it's widest point or 22 square miles as described in the books. That is a fairly small island which means it wouldn't naturally support a lot of the really large predators. If it's been a year or 2 since the park stopped operating that means most if not all of the large predatory stuff has died off. This means you have about an 8-11 mile walk around the perimeter of the island depending on route. If you start midway on the west side of the island and take the southern route it looks to be 8-9 miles. You can make this in a single day without too much exertion.

Loadouts:

Suppressed FNX-45Ts with RMRs and 5 mags, thermals, Rapid inflatable life vest for if you have to go to water, FAKs, life straws and first strike rations all around.

Two guys with suppressed select fire SCAR-17s with 10-15 mags each, 40mm underneath with 5-8 rounds each, wide angle dazzlers for some crowd control, and shit tons of flashbangs. No armor, keep it light and fast.

One guy with select fire Saiga 12 with 6x 12 round mags of 00 buck shot and 6x 12 round mags of slugs.

Your best bet would be to skirt the edge of the island JUST inside the tree line. The idea would be to avoid dinos and confrontations entirely. Thermals will allow you to detect anything that is a threat, and allow you to move out onto the beach where you force the dinosaur/s out into the open (far less chance of sneaky ambushes), or it/they have to head back into the jungle for concealment. If whatever dinos come out to face you can't be subdued by dazzling, flashbangs, shooting, and 40mm (in that order) then you can shed a lot of your gear and move into the water. Either they won't chase you into water deep enough they have to swim, or you could probably swim faster than most of the land dinos. If there are still any bigger dinos around they would be more toward the middle of the island.

Move fast and stay on the move. Only stop when absolutely necessary. You should NOT stay the night on the island. Given this loadout, you shouldn't have to be on the island more than 8 hours if you only have 8-10 miles to walk, even through the sand.

It is light and will cut through anything on the island.

And best of all. You don't have to carry extra ammo for it.
