1. You can take some stuff with you. Not a boat, ship, plane, raft or other device that can take you off the island. What would you bring? You have five objects to choose.

Axe, Knife, Bow and Arrows, Shovel, Snowboard. I normally ski, but I'd pick a snowboard because it's easier to make, and the bindings are more compatible with making them yourself. (After I wear the one I bring with me out)

2. What area of the world would you like to be stranded in?

Somewhat moderate climate, below freezing at high elevations consistantly during winter.

3. What does your personal island look like? Vivid descriptions, please.

Sort of along the lines of Hawaii moved a thousand or so miles north. Relatively even temps down by the sea, with a giant snowy mountain.

4. What natural resources are available on the island?

Lots of forests, a big natural clean spring-fed lake, maybe some naturally occuring vegetable/fruit plants?

5. What would you build on your island?

For starters: A house.
Next: Some shelters around the island in case a storm I'm unprepared for comes when I'm far away.

6. What devices, tools and stuff would you construct? To what purpose would you use them?

Water-powered machinery, powered by the river flowing from the above mentioned lake. I'd devise a home-made lumber mill and whatever else would seem to be useful.

7. Should there be wild animals on your island or do you want to survive entirely on fish and vegetables?

Abundant animals, but only ones that would be relatively easy to kill/non-dangerous. Sheep and Deer would be good. (I figure Cattle aren't really capable of taking care of themselves)


Basically the goal would be to make day-to-day life as easy as possible, so I can spend most of my time snowboarding/working on whatever I come up with to do.
