  1. Hannah sounds like those guys who think only a shop can work on cars, that it will cost a hundred thousand to rebuild an old car without rust. They can't do the work, so they assume nobody else can. They don't have the tools, so they assume nobody else does unless its a shop. I'm one of those guys, who is not super wealthy, but I have a lift in my shop because working on cars is something I do for fun, its my reason for living to be honest. As for cooking: I have flour, cornmeal, and lots of other things because I bake from scratch every week. I eat fresh fruit, meat, and veggies. Yeah a man who built his house, builds the cars he drives, served in two wars and has taken lives, hunts, fishes, and can do all sorts of survival things, can also bake and cook from scratch. I grew up on a farm, we had to be able to do things ourselves rather than have someone come out to do it for us. You can do multiple things at the same time, while one thing is curing/drying/heating, you do other things. Its time management. Some people are good at it, most aren't. Yes the chick making gum from scratch with the monotone narrating is playing a role, nobody dresses like that when they are cooking or gardening. What she is doing is not unrealistic, its the way things were done prior to the disposable economy we have now. My grandparents had chickens on the farm, and I remember grandma lopping off heads and plucking them with my aunts and cousins when I was a kid, before my dad bought the farm and we moved out there. I have two kids of my own, and I was number 2 of 6 kids, I am 10 years older than 5 and 13 years older than 6, so I have LOTS of experience raising kids. ITS FREAKIN EASY raising kids. I would have much rather stayed home and hang out with my kids, teaching them how to do things, than going to work for 50 to 70 hours every week to pay for everything. It just might be that I can do so much because I had to do things myself if I wanted them done. I couldn't rely on anyone else, and I had lots of things to do every day growing up. Are they so incapable that they can't take care of the house and kids? I did that AND worked as a CNC machinist, auto mechanic, and from 2000 to 2005 while in the USAF working 12 hour shifts. Urban people seem to be softer, less capable, and don't think they can do or learn things. Grow up on a farm and you'll learn how to do a mind boggling number of things, and you'll be proficient in them too.
