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.
knife, whetstone, flintknap set, a good sleeping bag, cast iron pot (I could make my own salt!
)
2. What area of the world would you like to be stranded in?
right around either tropic line- like the Florida Keys or something
3. What does your personal island look like? Vivid descriptions, please.
nice
I'd want varying enough topography not to get bored- preferably a couple of cliffs and mountains to climb, and a nice beach to relax on afterwords
4. What natural resources are available on the island?
unlimited fresh water, nice caves without inhabitants, lots of edible things growing and running around
5. What would you build on your island?
traps to catch edible things? a firepit? how about a boat so that I could get to the mainland whenever I wanted to?
6. What devices, tools and stuff would you construct? To what purpose would you use them?
I do beleive I answered that one above!
7. Should there be wild animals on your island or do you want to survive entirely on fish and vegetables?
wild pigs are delicious, I wouldn't mind some form of wild chicken or cow, or hopefully both either!
8. Describe, come with ideas. Tell me stuff that I haven't asked, but that you want to tell me about your island.
not too hot out, but I don't want a cold winter if I'm left to my own devices, especially since I wouldn't have power tools OR electricity!
I'd hope that hot peppers grew there as well, along with plenty of spices and herbs, since I hate bland food... and tobacco and sugar cane so I could make rum! (grapes won't grow in too warm of a climate
) and coffee, tea and rice! (I need caffeine, and I'm quite fond of rice...)
if I'm lucky a trunk full of good books would wash up on shore every month or so... that would be awesome and keep me un-bored...
