Paradiso

The food storage containment is finished, thanks to a lot of help from others. If you find food you can put it in there, it's right outside of the main group of shelters that have been built. Sara is awesome and she's thinking about making a smokehouse, so I suggest if you find something, clean it and smoke it first. It'll last longer.

I've made fishing traps by the shore for those of you who aren't great hunters. It's a large group of rocks in a v formation in the water, when the tide comes in so do the fish and when it goes out they get trapped behind the rock wall so they'll be easier to catch, since they'll be in a confined space. So if you see stones lined up by the water, do me a favor and don't move them.

We should seriously consider building some loft beds. It'll be complicated and we'll have to find strong enough wood, but we shouldn't be sleeping on the ground no matter where our shelters are. Snakes, bugs, all that fun stuff, are best avoided. If I'm coming off as bossy tell me, that's not what I'm trying to do, I just want to help. If anyone needs anything I just finished with those fishing traps so I'm available!

Shit, screw it. If she can do it, I can. Okay, so...that Malia girl seemed to have a successful go, so what the hell, right?

I'm Cameron — Cam is fine — I'm 25 and I'm a law student. I don't know how to hunt, I think I went fishing like once when I was twelve, I have no idea how to build a shelter, and if I was in charge of picking berries, I'd probably end up poisoning the lot of us.

But.

I'm 6'5", I'm strong, I'm athletic, and I like to think I'm a decent looking dude. So...with that said, I can't really offer much by way of survival in exchange (which is embarrassing to admit, but there it is), but if anybody's interested...just throwin' that out there.

...this probably will work better for a cute girl than a fucking Sasquatch dude, but I figured it was worth a shot, since it worked for her.

I'm kind of piggybacking on Lydia's idea here, but I thought that I might have a solution if everybody is into it.

Let's face it, considering the kind of stuff we're going to be doing around this place, no one is going to want to hear everyone else doing their business. So I think that having separate shelters a little further away from each other is a good idea, but I also agree with Lydia that it would be a waste to just take down the central shelters that we've started to build.

Hi.

I'm Malia. I'm eighteen, and from Beacon Hills, California.

I'm totally into this project, but Lydia says I should be more selective, so here goes. I'm looking for a person who can hunt, fish, protect me while I'm nursing the pups, and give me a warm and safe place to live.

If this is you, then we should have sex.

Where are the condoms?

I mean, we don't have to have a baby every time we have sex with someone, right?

So hey, as I said in another post, I'm Sara Lance.

I know we're all excited about waking up in a paradise potential playground, but building and survival are still important.

Has anyone woken up near fresh/drinkable water? It would make sense to start building shelters around a clean source of water.

If anyone is interested in teaming up from the start, I'm going to be working on a temporary shelter as soon as I locate a water source. I also have some hunting and survival skills. Anyone who has skills and is willing to share/speak up, please do.
