So, anyone have any estimates on the cost? say we start to pool money in and start getting the funds early to see where we stand

when do you think we might take off with this? I'm saying summer 2018 during the olympics would mean it would be VERY hard to set off any alarm bells on the world stage

let's see:
- Boat: $40,000
- Solar Array: $1,000
- Weapons: $3,000
- Food: $2,000
- Construction Materials: $10,000
This is for a crew of 6-8 to establish a settlement on the island.
There's a load of other shit I haven't mentioned, but that's what I can think of off the top of my head.

Im thinking like 200,000$ for 200 people For 200 people I'd look at $50.000.000, you're underestimating costs greatly. Just the boat would cost thousands by itself. There's also dock construction, house building, farming equipment, power installations, water filters, etc. I could go on for a while, and unless we already have and bring these things, it will cost millions to buy and transport. |

Thats not right one bit for divided among 200 people is $250,000 each |

2018 it is! Just to clarify, we are NOT sending 200 people onto the island from the get go. We need to establish an infrastructure before we start building a population.

Just the groceries we'd need to buy to sustain ourselves would probably count up to a million before our first harvest. |

Alright how about a small startup group of 10, how much would you say that would be in USD |

Alright how about a small startup group of 10, how much would you say that would be in USD Well, if they'd only take care of themselves and set up a good food and electricity supply, probably only 10-20 mil. A lot of costs will be in getting there and actually paying for stuff we're going to need on there. Extra people don't really cost a lot (relatively), because all they'd need is a house and a cable running to it. |

Also, all of it depends on how good we need our farm yields to be. With tractors and other machines (don't know too much about farming) the yields go up enormously but so do the costs (hence why farmers in poor countries don't have them), plus we'd need to transport these things. If we don't have those, we can make everything a lot cheaper but we'd need a lot more land and labour to sustain ourselves in the most basic way. |
