You Might Be a Backwoods Dweller If…
The South has it’s rednecks, the Appalachian’s their hillbillies. In less than 6 months, there have been many changes in our lives.
Yep, you just might be a backwoods dweller if;
- Carhartt is your new favorite clothing designer
- ‘Dressing Up’ involves jeans and no ball cap
- You smell the shirt you wore yesterday to see if it can be worn again, today
- You trade in your Blackberry & iPhone for a walkie talkie (better reception)
- Shopping involves twice a month trips into town (unless we get a cow)
- Newspapers are useful once again, they make excellent fire-starters
- You shoot, pluck, gut, grill a turkey; all on the same deck
- Finding a handful of birch bark is deemed a treasure
- Little House On The Prairie offers more useful information than any current bestseller
- The wheels of your vehicle have not rolled one inch in 10 days
- Fire provides hours of enjoyment: in the woodburning stove, a pile of brush, a burn barrel
- You take your garbage into town
- The outcome of the superbowl is still a mystery, one you have no desire to solve
Yep. Sure didn’t take us long…
The reward for conformity was that everyone liked you except yourself.
