I am watching a show called The Frontier House on the ABC, and I have to say, its a great show.

3 familys were choosen to go back to Montana and live as homesteaders. They have had to build there home from scratch, ect ect.

Would I suvive in the 1800's, hmmmm maybe but not having running water and running HOT water would really bug me.

The 3 family's in this show are not at all getting on with each other, one family is not at all good at following the rules that have been set down for them, while another family is so over the top with moral judgment its not funny, they have not got the concept that the men and women in the 1800's all helped each other and offered lots of support to each other.

Its a great show just for some of the stunning scenery that Montanna has to offer.

What has also been good, is that you can really see the personal growth that these people are going through and that can only be a good thing.

I would love to take my kids away for the 21st century, away from gameboys and play stations, away from some of the revolting tv shows. Yes I can turn it of but they only have to go to someones place to see it anyway.

Im so cheeky im cheeky cheeky cheeky, im so cheeky lol

I come from North Wales... some would say ... we are living in the 1700's so my answer to you is yes.

We did not have running hot water in the mountains either or flushing toilets etc until recently... so as i child i lived like that and so i guess... I cna survive yes.
