Cutting this firewood has reminded me of a PBS series sometime in the 90s. Several families were put in a pioneer situation of the middle 1800s where they had to start from scratch, building a home, planting a garden, and getting firewood laid by. They were all surprised just how time and effort was involved in this one task. They worked relentlessly and still a couple of families ran out before the winter was done.
