is it really reincarnation?? he died on earth and found himself in another world with his age and appearance intact. this is the first time i have seen a reincarnation like this in a manga it feels more like he got teleported at the last moment before he died.

>Drinks directly from a stream without so much as filtering it or boiling it
You have the healthy immune system of someone living a 1st world country that has never known having to drink questionable quality water. You have never likely encountered water-borne pathogens and bacteria enough to develop a resistance to it. So, pretty please, whether you find yourself isekai'd away or stuck in the mountains - don't fucking drink the water straight. Even if all you can do is strain it through a shirt and leave it out in direct sunlight and hope UV kills something, that's MULTITUDES better than drinking water straight from a stream. Guess what is also in that stream? Fish. Animals. Things that shit in the water or die in the water. Things you don't have a built-up immune system from living in squalor and drinking from wells that have been contaminated with run-off or from stagnate sources of water or nasty-ass ponds. So... don't do this. Unless you are LITERALLY dying of thirst and have gone 3+ days without water and this is your only source... Just don't. You getting diarrhea will only hasten your dehydration. You vomiting will only make your dehydration worse. So unless you're likely going to die anyways, at least filter or boil the water.

>"DEMS CRUSTACEANS IN DEM DER STREAMS, IT'S POTABLE! POTABLE, I SAY!"
...No. First of all, the whole "there's no pathogens because they are there" is... utterly laughable. Secondly, there's plenty of saltwater shrimp and the like. And he has no idea how different, if at all, life on this entirely different planet is from our own. Hell, I wouldn't assume this on Earth, let alone another planet.

Even the Bear Grylls "I'm lost in Walmart, better drink my own piss and go to the hotel to 'survive' the night" model is better than what this guy is doing.

Whoa, a boxcutter?! That begs the question, why was he carrying a boxcutter hidden in a pencil case on the street at night? 😀

 

[Glomoro]

@Huapollon Sarcasm/joking? Smiley is making me unsure on the tone of your post but he did say he was packed to go camping, and box cutters aren't exactly useless as far as equipment goes for various things.

@RUD3DUD3 This happens all the time. Maybe I've just read and watched too many of these things, but "reincarnating" by more or less just having your same body even in the same clothes sent to the other world isn't really uncommon for some reason. Hell, that's exactly what happened in KonoSuba isn't it? Super duper well known isekai, the only thing notably different about him on arrival there is having dragged the uppity goddess who was making fun of him along for the ride.

>Drinks directly from a stream without so much as filtering it or boiling it

Yeah I dunno what the critters visible have to do with anything really, and he hadn't even noticed his detection power thing yet. Totally deserved every second of dehydrating epic diarrhea he rightfully earned there, but whatever I guess. I've let dumber things slide, in hindsight and just carried on reading.

It’s like the author wanted bear grylls style survival but couldn’t be bothered to search anything on google

"i've never seen leaves like this"
boi it's canabis

"The stars are beautiful! .... that's because there's no smog."

Light pollution is not caused by smog, you dumbass. This fucking guy. He probably spent like 20 minutes watching outdoors programming on Discovery and decided he was an expert and to go camping. If he didn't have his "bad shit" sense he would be dead in 2 weeks or less.

At least he knows where his towel is. All this hoopy frood needs are some peril-sensitive sunglasses and a babelfish, and he's good to go.

Can see which food is poisonous. What useful skill to have for foraging.

Pretty sure the lobster with the weird shell is real

First I thought it was generic isekai.
The next thing I am reading it to the end.

Beware of generic isekai.

I am eating that lobster over gigantic isopods anyday.

The fact that they named it "earth shrimp" means they want to joke it for cockroaches ( land relatives of shrimps - really cockroaches have the same structure as any crustacean, and they turn pink when cooked ).
