12/02/2004 Archived Entry: "How those tough sonsabitch pioneers did it"

WITHIN MINUTES AFTER I POSTED YESTERDAY'S sigh of wonderment about how the pioneers managed to survive conditions like the present cold misery of our Desert Hermitage, friendly reader MJR sent me to Backwoodsman Magazine.

I marvel. I truly do. Me, just gimme a nice, warm latte and functioning electrical outlet I can plug my computer into. The simple life in a little cottage on a hill -- love it. The primitive life? It just reminds me that there were good reasons our great-great-great grandwhatevers invented that sometimes pesky and annoying institution, civilization.
