Desert

$0 and a hatchet in an empty desert with nothing in any which way direction.

What I started withA hatchet.
The story

I chopped bushes for a few dollars each until I could afford a chainsaw, then a tractor, then water and fields. The desert slowly turned green.

Played on the Desert Map, a map I built for this series.
