Now that I look back at it, most if my hobbies involved running around in the woods, making up games, and going on adventures. My dad is also an artist, so I always enjoyed doing art. I also took music lessons from a family friend. I played a lot with my brother, who is two years younger, and my cousin, who's 1 year older. We relied a lot on our imaginations for entertainment.

It was! When I was a kid, I never really thought about it because it was so normal to me, but now that I am in college and see how different from me everyone else grew up, I realize how lucky I was!

Yes i would raise my kids that way. I loved growing up how I did, and I think more people should. My parents built a spring box in the spring above our house on the mountain my house is on. The spring box has pipes that lead to a water tank that fills and then runs to the sink. I miss the fresh air so much, the trees, and the open space. Yes, we had radio, but no newspaper.

-About 4 hours from Shasta, on the coast. -My dad had been saving for a while, and he and his brother went in on the land together. -My dad is a carpenter, so he worked for various people building houses and barns etc.. My mom was a massage therapist and worked for a local coffee roasting company semi-close to our land. -No they don't hunt. -I went to public school in the town 30 in away from my house. -No we arent religious -Yes, we had two dogs, and many cats over the years. We also had ducks and chickens. -I'm 20 -Yes, in live in a city where I go to college. -I bathed probably every other day.

I think biggest problem is not having hospitals near just in case. I think best experience was just being able to explore nature as much as I wanted.
