Absolutely. My mom grew up in the Depression in a 2 bedroom house with a dirt floor, an outhouse, and a hand pump well (in west Texas). They did pretty good because they had chickens and a cow and grandma knew how to live off the land.
I doubt I know half of what my mom knows, and maybe 1% of what my grandmam knew.
