Hi All, I’ve done a fair amount of research and have yet to turn up any location which meets the criteria I’m looking for so I’m hoping a bit more local knowledge may yield a better result. Essentially my best friend and I want to spend 10-14 days on a deserted island where: Some notes: Any information or suggestions anyone has would be greatly appreciated. | ||
I very much doubt such an island exists because: 1) All land in the Pacific belongs to someone so you would be trespassing, even if in practice the owner may not care or may even give permission 2) Any island with a population of goats and pigs would be big enough to be either inhabited by people or at least visited by them to hunt 3) Any island with enough resources to live on yet not costing a fortune to reach would be at least sometimes visited by locals from nearby islands to harvest those resources, so would already have some basic structures and there would be no guarantee no one would visit while you are there. | 1 | |
You're making the assumption we're just trying to "show up", of course not. Totally willing to pay "rent" or "fee" or what-have-you within reason. We certainly don't want to trespass and are looking to do this legally and responsibly. | 2 | |
