The Others-Self Suffecient?

[buttonpresser4815]

I think that if Julia wasnt joking about the making of the cheeseburger than this provesat least part of a theory of mine that the Others are completely self-suffecient, and that they have machinery. Look at the Blast Door Map's top right hand corner. In that area, it says Light Machinery or something.

There is no doubt that they can sustain themselves, but the other question still remains: Is the materials on the Island or from the mainland? If from the mainland, the losties might find that out and try to escape on the supply ships. (if that is how they are transported)
