LOL This aint roughing it buddy. When I was a kid I had to carry a bucket to the spring, fill it up and carry it back to the house for drinking/cooking water. Took my baths in the river until the water got too cold. Then it was stand in a big old washing tub like this after I got too big to be able to sit in it 
Still had to heat the water on the wood stove for baths

Evening Markus. Sounds delicious.
I'll be making mac and cheese au gratin with sliced steaks. Of coarse, with a bit of heat.

I guess so, but we didn't think of it that way at the time. It was just what we did. 4 room shack on up on a slate bank above the river. We did have electricity though!

Geez, Tracy...I got no right to bitch about my upbringing...not that I do. Military housing was no where near that bad, and it was bad!

I ain't complaining Marcus. I spent some of the best times of my life in that old shack. I had the river below to fish and swim and the hills to hunt and trap above. What more could a hillbilly boy need?
Well besides a hillbilly gal or two of course
