The aliens have come, and they're willing to take anyone who wants to go to a new, undeveloped planet, which is like the Earth before humans, but there's a catch. You can only take with you what you can carry. Are you going?

We're not coming to earth until 10 years from now, though... Also, I could strap a solar panel to my backpack, along with a small tent, a makeshift coilgun with some spare parts, and several boxes of 4 inch nails, a waterproof capacitor bank, at least 10 packs each of 30 types of fruit and vegetable seeds, a tactical shovel, a lemon tree sapling, some wild barley seeds that you can find along every major US highway, a few tobacco seedlings, a pair of night vision goggles, the Vietnam War era US army uniform shirt, jacket, and helmet that we got from some old couple for free when they were cleaning house, a tactical vest with many pockets, a respirator with filters, a pair of men's heavy duty cargo pants(they have more pockets than women's pants), a wire rack and four steel rods, a pot, a pan, and a Dutch oven that's been bound with wires so I can hang it on my vest, iodine tablets, literally just a bunch of pouches to sew on my clothes before I go there, a sewing kit, a bunch of gauze, a suturing needle along with a small spool of wire for it, a flashlight and several backups, if they have released to the public by then some nuclear batteries(soon™) otherwise get rechargeable batteries and a charger for them, a small spool of copper wire, my wire cutters, 3 different hammers, a pickaxe, a hand drill, a scalpel, a bit set for the drill, a modular screw driver that can accept drill bits, a radio handset, melt down my silver coins, and sterling silver tea set, candelabras, and tray and mould it into tokens before I go and take it along, a few technical manuals, both of my broken Himalayan salt lamps that have no light bulb in them stored in the Dutch oven with the bases removed from them, a cheese grater, a small bunched up fishing net, a matchbox, a bottle of hydrogen peroxide, a bottle of 90% and a bottle of 70% isopropyl alcohol, a small bag of flour and a few packets of both bread yeast and brewers yeast, a small bag of sugar, a few unpitted olives, peppercorns, 8 live young chickens who have just started laying eggs and two live roosters which will be tied to me like a belt so that I can take them along, a few seeds selected from a very large and sweet watermelon, a medium tent for the female chickens, a small tent for the roosters, a chicken wire spool and some dowel rods to fence in the chicken tents, a bag of corn to feed the chickens, two water canteens, a pineapple that I can plant. You know what? Remove the solar panel and capacitor bank, and replace it with a solar charging capacitor bank. A logging axe that's on the smaller side, a cacao pod a few sugar beets, and a seed cane from a sugar cane plant. This is the limit of what my body can carry currently while walking slowly. If I were stronger I could carry more, but literally nothing else will fit on my body. That, and I'm not sure if they would allow all of this.

I'm yaking their ultra high tech pocket 3d printer which can create even space ships filled with terabytes of blueprints, a high tech power suit, a bag of supplies and a cute alien wife.

Depends. If there is a time limit and I can see how many are going, I might consider it. (Too little and we'll all just die, too much and we'll kill each other). ALTHOUGH if, and ONLY IF they introduce a superhuman system where you can get stronger by killing, eating, etc. (like, if you go, you can access it) I would absolutely go

I think they might want to harvest resources, but without the extra steps of actually setting basic things up. If my charisma stat is high enough, could I pass a charisma check for obtaining additional benefits?

Anything that gets me out of the hassle of financial independence and taxes and what not ?

Congratulations you are now back in the stone age after what ever you carry with you breaks.
Happily. I'll be active, roam around, hunt. The only worry would be surviving the beasts and finding a cave to nap in ??
PS: I didn't even think of smth to bring with me lmao ?

And abandoning convenient tech like my smartphone and pc? The bidet I can't live without? No thank you.
