Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Dear Mary, this is already happening. People are taking vacations at farms. They are learning survival skills, how to garden, how to live off the land, how to ride a horse etc. there are some farms in upstate NY that are offering this with one or two week options. It is becoming very popular. I have a website for this which I will send later. , " Mary Minihane " <minih@g...> wrote: > We should probably all be setting some time aside to learn the > survival skills that we would need should your predictions come > true.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Dear Craig, I once saw a tv special on the science channel about Australia. There was a couple who were tourist, went on a walk to the desert and were never seen from again. then they showed all the poisonous snakes. then they showed all the poisonous spiders, and scorpions and such. I do not want to die. however I still want to go. regards, anouk , " Craig Dearth " <cd39@e...> wrote: > hey I thought you would a for sure > I do know some great spots that only the roo's go > =o]] > anyway plenty of time > Craig > > > > On > Behalf Of fraggle > Monday, June 06, 2005 8:15 AM > > Re: Re: *sits with a worried frown on face* > > > remind me of this when the land bridge from the west coast of North america > to Oz forms... > cuz..other then that, i can't see myself ever gettin to the land of > " everything kills you " > > > > - > Craig Dearth > > Sunday, June 05, 2005 8:48 AM > RE: Re: *sits with a worried frown on face* > > > ok we will make it official, > > October 2006 say from the 5th to the 20th (please allow for flight times) > we will all meet and go bush for 12-14 days (this allows for travel etc.) > I will inform of details later. > I do know some prices of things without going to far (need to be > confirmed) > > http://www.autorentals.com.au/English/rentalvehiclesen_nz/index.cfm? subActio > n=vehicleDetail & vehicleID=230 > transport and sleeping > I have a 4 wheel drive and a tent trailer so without further cost I can > take 2-3 persons > I also have an extra 2 man tent. > a tent trailer like ours cost $A250 a week to hire > plus a 4 wheel drive hire ...probably $A500. per week (just a guess) Brits > has a POA policy > this would accommodate another 5 people > > we could take plenty of our own food but try to see what we could find > (believe me it is scarce for a Vegan) > but that could be discussed later > so with these Rough details > anyone interested I will plan further and give you better costs > while in Perth everyone can stay at my place if they want. > > so if anyone or everyone is interested lets do it > =o]] > > all the best > Craig > > > > On > Behalf Of Mary Minihane > Sunday, June 05, 2005 10:38 PM > > Re: *sits with a worried frown on face* > > > I have seen that bush tucker program.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Isn't Fox's owner in Australia? They do most of those shows and I'll bet that would pay for the airfare for everyone there and back. Fox has an idea department. If one is serious, you could probably sell them on the idea.
