Sounds like an exciting and well planned uh, plan. Recording your trash production will be interesting. I'll also be curious to see what tools and hardware (leaky faucet repair kit, drywall screws, washers, etc) you end up wishing you had. Will you also be scrounging/freecycling goods and materials? If so, a rough idea of the size of your nearest population center would be useful for judging the effectivness of scavanging.
Have fun!

Great ideas!
I will log all that stuff as far as what is consumed and what I wish I had.
As far as scrounging/freecycling our nearest town is a 20 minute drive and the population is less than 900 with 1 main street. Nothing there probably
From there we can go about 30 minutes and be in a few small towns where there would be dumpsters or folks who would be willing to donate. However, in the event we had to be on our own neither of these would be likely options due to distance.
Anything we need we don't have we`ll end up buying (like we normally would) and record it.
If things are given to us during this time we will account for that in or input and it will be used in the experiment. IE: Neighbor gives me a broken tractor I get it to run w/only tools and items I have it can now be utilized in the experiment. We`ll only cheat ourselves if we cheat, so we won't be doing that!
(Obviously that's a huge example that I dream of happening.. hahaha.)
Any resources available will be used if needed and will be reported.
