Escape to the Wild. (Kev. again)
DIY project on "Desert Island"
I don't think this island was as deserted as was made out.
Lots of machined timber.
Concrete/Bricks/Blocks
How did it get there?

What does the team think?

Two options I can think of, assuming he couldn't have made them himself:

1) Somebody else had the same idea, gave up and left a lot of material
behind

2) He brought it in by bo0at from one of the other islands in the
archipelago

Yes a pinch of salt is always suggested when we are looking at tv shows. i
remember some time back the sort of shots we actually saw from a person, a
diver lady i think, who was marrooned for a few weeks on an island were more
what one might expect to find, not a real brick in sight I seem to recall.
That was many years ago. Lucky she had a waterproof camera.

The couple seemed vaguely familiar, did they used to 'run' Necker Island
for Richard Branson?

They have portable sawmills; send one of those over on a boat.

I expect it's like farmers here who hire a combine-harvester for a few days, or a knife-sharpener who comes round in a van every few months.
