I grew up on a homestead. Believe it or not, homesteading is still done.

Of course my experience was from many years ago.
Some of my experience mirrored what the early settlers lived with, some did not.

We did live in a log home, built old school around about 1940. We had no all weather road until 1964. No power until 1980, telephone lines arrived in 1967 a centennial project.

We did not farm with horses, but our neighbor, and my uncle did. We had a modern Super WD6 we were uptown. LOL

We did live off the land to a large degree, wild game, wild birds, wild berries, wild mushrooms and some uncultivated plants were very much a part of our diet.

Grocery shopping was simple. 1- 100 pound sack of flour. 1- 50 pound sack of sugar, 1- pound of pepper, 5- pounds of salt. And a box full of garden seeds.
