Guest Andrea Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Curious........... How many of you gals think you could survive a month without stuff like electricity, make-up, a car, etc. You seen that show on PBS called The 1800 House? ( I think that's the name of it) The whole family lives like people did back in the 1800's. And I mean they REALLY live like it. Even the way they dress. Even aspects like personal hygiene is the same. ( yuck!) So...............be honest. Could you??? Me? I'd probably try it but then get tired of wearin that danged old long dress and not bein able to wear deodorant and cave. LMBO. Not to mention.......having to take orders from a MAN!!!!!! :D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigCheeky Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Well I'm fairly new here so I guess there must be some unwritten rule about guys posting in the "Girls Room" But anyway....I've seen the show you are referring to and I would do it. I can't say that it would be easy or comfortable. As a matter of fact it would probably suck, but it would make you appreciate all the things that we take for granted every minute of every day. It would probably be good for kids too to kinda help them see how tough life really can be and how it used to be. It might help them better establish more of a work ethic too.

Guest Andrea Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Welcome to RT DAVY. No unwritten rule..........I just like to give the guys a hard time. Yeah, that kind of life would surely be difficult. Especially when I'm spoiled on air conditioning and shampoo and deodorant and tv and radio.

TheViperess Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 yes i could live without the modern stuff.we almost did all of the same a couple years back.3 months in a camper made living fun. i cooked over a fire.we took showers from a gravity fed bag.heated the water by sunlight or the fire. after our boys get out of high school the hubby and i are going back to that:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrswtnhunt Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 I bet I could do it but would probably get tired of it after a while. I agree with Andrea in reguards to deodorant, shampoo, etc...That would be the worst part. It would sure make you appreciate what luxuries we have nowadays. And as for Andrea, I don't think she could go for more than 4 hours without her computer. She would go into withdrawals. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Oh sure I could...if I had to...yeah. Being at camp all summer...I haven't had TV or radio...mainly eat sleep work with these kids in the outdoors and home for maybe 24 hours on a weekend. Kinda nice actually..

wildside Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 I think every one of us could do whatever we needed to do in any situation, provided there be a good enough reason to do it. . . . If I have a headache, I'll so something about it, like have a drink with caffeine or take Tylenol. Why suffer simply for the "experience" of suffering? Did that already with childbirth. Could I survice? Absolutely. Would I put myself and my family through it just "because"? No, thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozarkgal Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Oh, yes i could, when I was growing up my mom and dad didn't have alot of money and we stayed at the river from about april to oct every year we camped, fished, hunted it was awsome, we take for granted every thing we have now days, I wish I could go back just for one year and do it all over again.

BowtechsWife Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 There is a lot I could live without, however I require a modern bathroom. Not to mention, I can't handle smelling someone at a local WalMart, I couldn't live with people who hadn't showered, shaved and put on deodorant.

HuntnMa Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 not even for 48 hours....not unless alot of money was invloved..... okiedog said it best..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvtohnt Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 I could do it if I had to. But the whole shower thing is a huge thing for me. It's hard for me to get up and go hunting without showering!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womanwhohunts Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 That would be really easy for me and my family.We all know how important it is to save money,time resources,etc.You can do that by giving up a few luxuries.I've really have to kinda snicker at the folks that think its a "roll in the dirt without getting clean" type of life.If you only imagine how many gallons of water was toted from wells,creeks,springs and collected in rain barrels.I know how to make soap and yes I can make it smell like flowers.You ever heard the saying " don't toss the baby with the bath water"?Thats cause the baby got the last bath and by then it was getting kinda dingy.LOL.It is really simple if you don't have to drive to work and you don't depend on someone else to feed you.That means you at home working hard and taking care of your own.It works as good today as it did 200 hunderd years ago.
