My family used to have a cabin which you had to drive a 7 mile dirt road to get to... No electricity, no phone, etc.
The ride was so rough, that I worried about my SLR, so I packed a Contax with a couple rolls of film in a first-aid kit and hid it under the stove burners (I didn't want anyone to steal it. People would break in all the time, sleep there, occasionally they'd steal the wind-up record players and kerosene lanterns, but they always left the real treasures - the Bauer dishes).
I used to daydream about having a darkroom in the toolshed. I imagined an enlarger with light from the sun reflected in by mirrors.
Got so far as to clean the shed in preparation for use as a darkroom, but never brought up the enlarger. That was the desert island scenario I envisioned.
p.s. It was Panatomic-X and I'd develop in D-76
