You people are very hardy individuals and I would never attempt to live in such an environment without lots of preparation and friends who already lived there. Sure hope they make it some place where the temps are more moderate and where they can get a job.monihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396662015688569038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430574198775498108.post-48055927737754496462010-11-29T16:06:41.540-06:002010-11-29T16:06:41.540-06:00I have really enjoyed your hunting posts.

Sorry about your neighbors but I know what you mean about people not understanding what they are up against when moving from the city or even a rural area to the "wilds". We've seen it happen over our way too.<br /><br />Take care!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430574198775498108.post-90989162788799101542010-11-29T13:30:42.009-06:002010-11-29T13:30:42.009-06:00Mel, I loved every post about your hunting experie...Mel, I loved every post about your hunting experience! So sorry you didn't get your deer but the season isn't over until the muzzle-loader has been lugged to the deer stand and back a few times. ☺ We have another 9 day hunt the week of Christmas. Do you? I hope that you get one before it's over.

Coil oil lamps or candles, wood burning stoves with some coal for winter. But like yours, those people knew how to survive, but we worked from sun up until dark. Washed clothes from water heated outside, ironed a lot of clothes with stove irons, Gerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771917880182186281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430574198775498108.post-83894030711774809982010-11-29T07:48:47.317-06:002010-11-29T07:48:47.317-06:00So, no deer this year for you either.

I got that impression early on in the season, but we've heard that before.<br />It was the egg lady who burned out...tragic but it sounds like they didn't have a clue.

I really believe I could, I want to try but Sherry refuses to spend the winter in North Dakota or Wyoming(haha). I know we could not do it in this motor home, it is just not well insulated. Shucks we get cold now at 30. hahaha.<br /><br />It takes sheer jack69https://www.blogger.com/profile/12884137603402812926noreply@blogger.com
