To live in a simpilar time has always been a far fetched dream of mine. To fly under the radar, and live off the land. Everything we need to survive in this great world has already been provided to us we just have to hunt and forge for it. Even at a young age, I've always been curious how the Amish communities throughout the world are able to live without electricity. Then one day it dawned on me, the lightbulb wasn't invented until what the late 1800's? People didn't get upset when the lights went out for a few hours, they just lit another lamp or put another log on the fire. We have all become so dependent on modern convience,what will we do if they are no longer available. Will you be able to survive if you have to hunt your own meat? What about growing your own fruits and veggies?
My hubby has said since the beginning that I was born in the wrong era. Old fashion remedies worked for centuries before modern medicine was trying to make a dollar. If someone told you that you could cure a migrane by rubbing a drop of an essential oil on your temple, would you still opt for a Dr's appointment and prescription? I'd personally opt for Chamomile, Lavender, or Marjoram essential oils on a compress, or maybe in a bath soak.

Ok speaking of rustic baths. This is an actual bathtub located in Bagby Hot Springs, Oregon. It's a natural fed hot spring. I could spend hours talking about how I'd love to have just a weekend there, but I won't. The point is, there are are so many things out there that need to be tried instead of automatically being turned down.
