The Way We Used To Do it...

When my grandfather got his first tractor he decided to keep his horses and old horse-drawn equipment in case the day ever came when he couldn't buy gas or tractor parts. Grandpa, his horses and farm machinery are now gone. But his vision lives on.

It has been said that when a person dies a library burns. Only those who have tried to compile a life story on someone who has departed this life knows what a reality this is. Today there is an increasing self awareness among many toward becoming more self reliant. We try new things and - in my opinion - try to re-invent the wheel. The pioneers of 100 years ago were already more self sufficient than most of us will ever be. Perhaps instead of looking to the future and new ways of doing things, we ought to at least take a small look into the past and re-acquaint ourselves with the old ways that are proven, that work, yet are nearly forgotten. The subjects listed on this page comes from the old folks themselves. Occasionally their stories have been supplemented with newer ways of doing the same things, but generally the ideas and methods remain theirs.
