Thumbs up Pioneer Quest - Manitoba style

Two years ago, 2 couples spent 1 full year in the bush, no electricity, running water, no phones, tv or any conveniences. They went totally back in time. If they could stay for that full year each couple recieved $100,000.00. They both stayed the full year, through the wettest spring on record, to the most mosquitoes to the coldest winter and a horrible wet summer.

Could you have survived a year like that?

Yes, I could. I grew up without a TV or a telephone. We had a HUGE garden. We canned a LOT of food. My dad hunted and put most of our meat on the table that way. We picked berries and gathered walnuts every fall. We cut all of our own wood and heated our house exclusively with wood.

BTW, I am not saying I would WANT to live like this again, but I could. Hey, for $100.00, it just might be worth it!
