Well as I said the odds of being deposited near a populated area are low, and the odds of surviving several days of looking for what passed for civilization then I would imagine are slim to nil.
Even if one found other people, one would have to ask one's self about the historical repercussions for each and every action. Even one living an unobtrusive and quiet life could still do incredible damage to the timeline. What if you flirt with a woman who is supposed to marry someone else and that was supposed to eventually give birth to Winston Churchill's ancestor? Could you be responsible for Nazi Germany leading a successful invasion of England? That responsibility is too great. The best thing to do would be to not make contact with anyone and try to erase the fact that you ever existed.
Without an advanced education in temporal causality (something not even taught yet), no one has the intellectual ability to effect the past with any certainty of positive result in the present.
