I dunno... The hosts of the view would provide some reasonably good eating with proper preparation. Though BaBa WahWah might be a bit stringy.

Pick a season of the UK series "scrapheap challenge". Cherry pick from the.Megalomaniacs, Barley Pickers, Brothers in Arms. Bring their spouses. My spouse. Maybe Tony Beets and his wife Minnie from "gold rush".
Build all the things.
Figure out which native grains or.fruits make the best liqour.

If I'm allowed to bring my Honda 3 wheeler, she'll be well tenderized by a few hundred passes of knobby tires over her carcass. :ugeek:

I've been nursing that particular grudge for decades.

If you're going to bring along a cook, either bring one who was a professional chef - if you can find one without a substance problem, or one that is very good looking.

Otherwise, I'm a bit stuck on picking useful celebrities - I don't know the bios of any well enough to know if they are actually useful.

Gotta be a farmer and/or botanist in the bunch. A month of food to start isn't going to cut it and relying totally on foraging + hunting til crops come in is an iffy proposition. Even if you plant on day 1 there's likely to be a starving season or very lean times before any harvest.

Solution: Bring the largist celebrities you can fit on the ship along with said farmer and get used to the taste of long pig.

If you prepare it right, does it taste like chicken?

Have your celebrities checked for STD's before you load them up.

Morena Baccarin
Adam Baldwin
Jewel Staite
Sean Maher
Summer Glau
Ron Glass

Because
1) I get to hold the camera while we're there.
2) If we lose this time, Earth riots.

Tom died just over a year ago.
Clearly, I don't do current events or celebrities. Can't believe I missed Adam Baldwin.

My kids were asked to name celebrities several years ago and all they could come up with at the time was Abraham Lincoln and Babe Ruth.

Since I missed Tom, I'll scratch him and take seconds on Dolph Lundgren - he's a chemical engineer, so I'll have carpentry, general contracting, civil, mechanical and chemical covered along with gardening. Anyone can figure out electrical, and I'm a decent cook.
