Currently on Prime. Or I think most of it is on YouTube.
Many of you would find it boring, but I find it fascinating.

Cool. Will check it out. They did one a long while back about being a pioneer in Montana. Frontier house. Followed three modern day families, living like they would have then. It was fascinating. I seem to remember the judges said at the end that none of them would have survived the winter because they didn’t put enough firewood up.

I watched it and really enjoyed it. I wished they had gone into more detail with some things though. My husband was so taken with the show that he suggested we buy a farm in the English countryside when we retire. I told him that the only thing I will ever hear him say is "Oh my back" and "Let's go to the pub."

That type of life is hard work. I bet those farmers were eating 4000+ calories per day.

If you've read "Undaunted Courage" about the Lewis and Clark expedition, that's not surprising. Those guys were apparently up to 5K calories per day.
