Interesting... and appears quite helpful. I guess I am a bit past that now, but reminds me of my years in my 'Unabomber' shack - no phone, no electricity, no neighbors... cooking with a Dutch oven on top of the wood stove, canning 'maters... I did have propane - lights, refrig, stove. In Tenn too! Talking to the moonshiner who drove by once a week, in the front yard, on his way down the holler.
Keep on keeping on.
