no but lived in a half built house/double wide without running water/electricity/phone/indoor plumbing for first 16 years. if that is all you know it isn't a big deal...it wasn't till i started going to my friends house and i saw how they lived that i realized how my parents deprived me of modernity. then we finally got a phone, but it was a shared line with the neighbors who had just moved up from san diego so you would pick up the phone and hear them talking all the time.
the camping on the river for the summer i remember because there were 6 kids in our family at that time and we were living in a 75 squarefoot little camping trailer. most of the time we slept a tent though. it wasn't bad...i don't think it would have been a pleasant winter though.
