I spent most of Sunday afternoon in front of the big TV watching the PBS series, Frontier House, back-to-back-to-back-to-back. The show takes three modern-day families and transports them to the middle of nowhere in Montana and challenges them to live for five months like a homesteader in 1883. They had to build their own house, raise their own food (livestock and planted), cook meals on wood stoves, chop wood (and lots of it), and gather hay for the upcoming winter. It was like a cross between Little House on the Prairie and Survivor, with all kinds of psychological issues and double-dealing. I would recommend the show to anyone who thinks they could have lived “back in those days.” This may be the one that makes me finally send in my pledge.
