Roughing it in the wilderness sucks. I can do it, and have, but the skills I was talking about are more along the lines of making soap, raising chickens, cheesemaking, buttermaking, making sausage, preserving pork (I just did that one last week), and stuff like that. Just regular life in the late/mid 1800s.

Years back I bought the first run of The Foxfire Books. Sounds like you’ve lived them. LOL.

Gotcha. Yes those kinds of things I certainly am familiar with growing up in farm country in Iowa. That was what I was referring to homesteading, or at least that’s the vernacular out here. Or as I call it, since there are so many now out here - living Amish.
