Mr Barguzin Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Given the way a couple of posts have been the site of a variance in view, here's a question that is sure (I hope) to get your brains going. You are sent to a cabin in the wilderness, that has solar power and running water. It has the basic necessities of life available to you (ie food, TV, fridge, stove and cooktop, microwave oven, cuttlery and crockery etc). Your task, should you chose to accept, is to nominate SIX (6) and only SIX other items to take with you. Let the fun begin WEG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejoe420 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Right - think i'll give this one a try.. First, i'd probably take "the Bible according to Spike Milligan" - bloody hilarious read!! Followed by either Hagakure or Tao Te Ching (both books). 3 Down.. I'd take my PSP, and a copy of Gran Turismo for it - that'll keep me going for yonks!! oh, and a computer so i could keep in touch with you folks here!! How's that? Hope it's ok with everyone..

snowleopard Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 As long as we are clear that the tv is sattelite and can get all the music and sports and the food includes marmite and coca cola, then i would take the following 1) A football 2) Sarah Michelle Gellar 3) Mischa Barton 4) Alyson Hannigan 5) The Mrs 6) Lots of fur I think i could get by on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejoe420 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Not sure, but i think SnowLeopard has this round won!! Unclejoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1m17 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 1) A laptop 2) A satellite dish providing the laptop with an unbelievable wireless internet connection 3)A supply drop pad 4)A satellite phone to contact a supply plane 5)A credit card with an account with $5,000,000,000 6)...the eiffel tower I would use the laptop to order stuff (furs) off the internet, using the credit card to buy it. I would find a service online which delivers items anywhere in the world for a price and would ask for anything I order to be sent there, and then have a supply plane drop it off at the drop pad. I guess the eiffel tower would be used to admire the surrounding wilderness from a height Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Barguzin Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 Well, so far ToS and Snowleopard are eliminated as they chose more than 6 individual items... and since there have been five postees, the odds are looking good for a couple of outsiders who thought outside the square. Like the credit card idea... furs, food and girls if needed WEG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Everyone has chosen more than six actually if you check. Okay I will lose the dogs and train the cats to retrieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Barguzin Posted March 12, 2006 Author Share Posted March 12, 2006 Sorry ToS, but "either/or" as used by a couple of postees means that just one of those items is included. And Earendil just wants 5 soooooooooooooooooooooo... VVWEG Ain't accountants bastards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s1m17 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I didn't choose more than 6 did I? Unless the eiffel tower counts as more than one because it's a 300m high iron tower Nope, you is safe *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowleopard Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Hey just because i said fur coats plural thats a bit off. Anyway how do you know that the mrs isnt number 2, 3 or 4 Ok i will just take 1 coat, and learn to become a hunter, trapper, skinner, sewer, ruff 'n' rugged mountain man type.

s1m17 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Just adapt my idea, that way you can have a plane deliver anything you want. No need to go through the hassle of hunting, skinning, cleaning and all that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowleopard Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Well i might as well learn some skills to keep me occupied because if the mrs is coming too then i wont get to watch the tv all the time. Maybe i should have left the mrs at home (I mean is it too much too ask on a sunday to watch the cricket, followed by the grand prix, then the rugby and two football matches) Does the island/wilderness have runway facilities or will they have to make a drop?

s1m17 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 On my list one of the objects was a supply drop pad. So stuff would just be in packages with parachutes attached I suppose, the eiffel tower would make it pretty easy for the pilot to see where I am.

White Fox Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 One time I was out camping in the wilderness. I heard a plane and was petty sure maybe it was a waterbomber coming in to load up. Instead, it was a different kind of plane. I didn't know that there were some rather rich folk near by out escaping the city life. They had come to enjoy the bliss and quite and tranquility of the country. They wanted to get away from all of the city life completely. Oh yes. The plane. They had copies of the papers from the big cities flown in to their camp site daily. No I didn't make it up! It is true! W Oh yes! I would bring along a genie to that desert island. So she could grant me every wish! (P.S. The Genie might be called Master Card if I couldn't find the real thing!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1m17 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Haha. I guess some people are just too attached to urban life, and when your rich you can bring it into the jungle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Fox Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 That is indeed right. By times I will be thiry or 40 kilometers from the nearest road, and even maybe from the nearest person, but this time I was only maybe 10 km out. Not too often you find folks like that too far into the backcountry areas. I won't bore you with other stories like this. Let's just say there have been experiences. When you get right down to it camping by salt water/canoeing the ocean is much like that desert island. Water is like gold. You may well wash in the water you have cleaned your dishes with! Transportation is second. Shelter third. Then food and clothing. When you are in areas like that you can have a huge amount of fun. But when you are there alone you also soon learn that nature can be harsh as well as gentle and you very quickly learn to respect her! Hope this was not too far off topic.
