I’ll miss ice cubes and indoor plumbing.

Laura Ingalls Wilder said, “The rich get their ice in the summer and the poor in the winter”

We just have to build an ice house. It will hold for six months.

As for indoor plumbing, you’re right. But my toilet will flush by hand even if we have to haul the water in.

Cabin doesn’t have indoor plumbing - actually, it has no plumbing at all.

No one is there most of the winter, and who the heck is going to heat it?

HOWEVER - it occurs to me I can plumb it up, and leave the pipes dry.

In a SHTF scenario, we could have plumbing on day one. Gravity-fed water system, septic, etc.

Hot water is going to be boiling buckets on the wood stove.
