I bet there is a different Romance to it when you have to live there and survive, then us with our central air, dreaming about getting away from it all.
I agree but when your a kid and have never seen anything different, I'll bet it isn't all that bad. :)
My mom lived on a farm. in South Dakota without electricity, sounds like she doesn't plan on going back to that.

Your right, as a kid you "hit the collar" a lot younger, as soon as you could understand you were given jobs that kept you entertained, the whole family worked together, it was a full time job just to survive. When there was spare time it was mostly spent outdoors, in the woods, no playing in the house, kids were "seen and not heard". You found ways to entertain yourself, a lot of which turned into skills that are mostly lost in the younger generations. I had a great child hood, and never regret any of it. Like any parent I have tried to pass on what I've learned.

No kidding. My grandma was born in a sod house in North Dakota. My dad recalls them salt curing and canning everything. Hang meat in the rafters. Go up, cut a hunk down, soak in water for a day, then rinse and cook. He has passed the canning tradition on to me. Some of the meat curing skills...
Ya! The meat carcases hung on the rafters which were in my bedroom, wake up and here's these dead things hanging there, the winters were long in the upper methow and no insulation so the temp. was about the same as outside. How many kids now days seldom or never get to see the night sky? We watched it every night through the cracks in the shake roof. And I do miss that home canned meat, it was good.

Nice photo... does this cabin still exist or is it long gone?Bowhuntin, I'm sorry to say the cabin burned in the 1950's, I think, every thing is gone, almost can't tell where it was.
