If you were a pioneer in the 1800.s would you of survived the winter?imes it seems like more work then I can handle

I have a pretty big garden and harvest my own fire wood and sometimes it seems like more work then I can handle. I have a roto tiller and chain saw the pioneers didn't have  stuff like that plus they had to build their house dig their well and a million other jobs so I think all that work would of killed me. Cheers!

    Would I OF?

    That is not correct.  Would I have survived?

    Of course.  There were people around to learn from who came before me to teach me.   If you mean would I make it if I were transported there from here without any prior surviving capabilities?   I probably would die the first day.

      We would have grown up in a time where the soft didn't get very far.  So, we would have been out there on a daily basis surviving or dying.  One or the other.   I think we are made of sterner stuff than you think or we all wouldn't be here today.

    But I hear you, life would have been far more rustic.  No iphones.  How DID we survive?
