We have lived for years on our 45 acre mountain property, after building, with the just the two of us for labor, a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom house. One winter the plow truck broke. We happily stayed snowed in for 3 months, having already fully stocked ked the freeze and large pantry with supplies, just in case. We’d take walks in the snow with our dogs, prepare starter plants, cooking with help from the internet replacing eggs, milk, played games and watched tv ofc.
We bought the Hungry Horse property to use in the fall and spring, returning to the mountain every summer.
