What era would you live in if you could choose?
« on: February 22, 2016, 07:40:43 PM »
Thought this could be a interesting topic.
Myself and many I know for lack of a better way to say it feel like we where born in the wrong time and place so its not a isolated phenomenon
Personally I feel I  was born at least 150 yrs to late.
I could give up indoor plumbing and internal combustion with zero remorse.
Guns would be a little tougher to give up.
 
Not that being young in the 40's or 60's does not have a certain appeal as well though.
 Dang sorry just noticed I posted in the hunting section by accident

Yes I have contemplated this many times myself. I wonder what this county would have been like 150 years ago. I know it would have been beautiful but I also know it was hard and tough. But I guess it would be all relevant as well. When it comes to northern Alberta I don't think a guy has to go back all that far to enjoy the peace and quiet and the abundance of game,, shoot 50 years will put you there.

If I had to choose an era,, I would pick the 1850's - 60's as a mountain man trapping the northern US, southern Canadian mountain ranges. I'm not a cowboy,, it doesn't really interest me never did,, but a bushman/mountain man,, yah that would be cool.

Well the 1850's or so would be great, the vast country, the freedom and animals.  But with some of the injuries I have had with the activities I done,I wouldn't be alive and with my family today, without modern medical care. So I would have to pick here and now.
