I rode horses every day in the summer beneath the Alaskan midnight sun. We caught fish to freeze and had gardens and cattle to live on. No running water, no heat-we had a coal stove and an outhouse and we mainly lived off of what we could kill or can. We had to walk 2 miles (3.2 km) just to get to the saddle barn I was raised in.
