[QUOTE="Northeast, post: 547076, member: 8209"] Was going to say the same thing Bjay. Ate rabbits. Panned for gold back in the areas the Europeans and Chinese had been over 60 years earlier. Humped their swag. Did odd jobs on farms in return for putting their swag in the shearing shed and some basic food (flour, salt, sugar, tea). My grandfather and great aunties used to tell some great stories of the 20's and 30's. Patched clothes. Sewed socks. Mended boots (cobblers might make a comeback!). Milked a house cow. Traded produce with the neighbours. As long as you survive the virus and the mental demands of remaining in lock down for 5 months you will survive. We have always survived and generally on a lot less than the excess we have today. Would quite happily zip back 150 years (if I could take even a Gold Monster with me :playful: ) [/QUOTE]
