We are putting together a team of 50 people, to be completely cut off from civilisation for a few years, to be based on an unspecified tropical island, and are looking for diverse skills to enable this community to function.

If you feel you have a skill to offer, apply with a description of how you think what you have to offer will benefit the group.

The island has a good supply of clean water, an abundance of tropical fruit, a good temperate climate, arable land, and a small forest. Participants can only bring what they personally can carry.

I'll be joining Belushi out snorkling to catch some fish (his scuba gear won't last that long - can't refill the cylinders without a compressor!)

- Plus i'm pretty good at DIY so i'll help out to build a few huts
- am also a first-aider so that can come in pretty handy
- could also father a few kids (just to keep the race going...) devil
- and i'll be your story teller around the camp-fire sleep
- and i guess i could be your witch-doctor to scare the bad spirits away!! cheering

ZEUS... Good, we will need snorkelers to catch fish.
Building huts is good too. Also the First Aid is good. If we lucky enough to acquire a qualified Doctor, you will still come in handy, to do the minor treatments.

Doubt very much we would need to keep the "race" or "tribe" going though... we dont plan to spend the next 100 years there! But should we never be rescued..... yeah, reckon that skill could be put to some sort of use.

Storytellers we will need. With no television or radio, we will need entertainment.

Unless you are specifically trained in the arts of Witch-doctoring, we dont see any need to scare the bad spirits away... there should'nt be any.... we not going to have any politicians on this island.professor

KONIGSBERG... yes you are accepted. Able to catch fish barehanded is a far superior skill than any offered so far.
And your knowledge of edible herbs will be invaluable.
Climbing trees? Guess maybe that could be useful, if we need to raid the bird nests. Oh yes, there is one field that will be most useful for..... I once heard of an ingenious way to harvest birds for eating. When the chicks hatch, you climb up under the nest, and tie a string to each ones foot. The mother continues feeding them till they leave the nest... and with their foot tied to the branch under the nest.... they NEVER going to leave the nest... SO, we got a caretaker to feed our future food, till its required.
THEN .. when we need roast bird... you climb the trees and fetch a bird!dancing
