After a pretty bad snowstorm, not something we’re used to dealing with in my area, we didn’t have power for 5 days. All the hotels were booked and I had two dogs and a kid. Luckily, I had gas logs, we stayed close to the fireplace to stay warm and I cooked on the grill. I had to move everything from the fridge and freezer to coolers and put them outside – it was below freezing for several days. Unfortunately, a tree did punch a hole in the roof, but it was over the attic. I was able to cover things with a tarp, so I didn’t lose a lot of items I had stored. My then boyfriend, now my husband, left his vacation early to come and help me out, little did he know, I had it all under control and just turned it into inside camping for my daughter. Lanterns, (battery, not propane) and sleeping bags, she had a lot of fun!
The only other primitive living was a primitive camping trip to get certified in primitive camping with the girl scouts. For some reason, I thought that might be fun for the girls. Funny, they never seem to want to primitive camp!
