Such a good lesson, getting comfortable with inconvenience. Definitely going against the grain of our current culture in the US that is continually increasing comfort and the luring us with more and more convenience. Always at a cost ( and not just financial).

Chop wood, carry water. I grew up with wood stoves and there is an art to their minding. You don’t allow it to burn it. Stoke it before you go to sleep, when you wake at 4:30, place a log and your kindling and poke the embers. You will be warm without the fuss while you are still half-asleep. Like everything, tending a fire requires awareness.
