Open answer questions (attach additional pages. All questions must be answered.):

What attracted you to this project?
I have always liked surviving in the wilderness, and I think it would be cool to put us to the test.

What hobbies and interests do you have?
I like making stuff from wood, or sticking together a lot of materials, and reading.

What image do you have of pioneer living?
I think it was a really hard life for them, I know only 1 in 3 pioneers survived 5 years, and they had to work a lot.

What's the most challenging thing you and your family (or group) have experienced?


If you were chosen what do you think you would most miss about modern life?
I think I would miss all the spare time we have, being able to have time to do other stuff pretty often, when on the home stead you have to work a lot more.

What qualities do you and your family have that make you suited to this experience?
We can work together well, and function as a unit.

What skills do you have that may help you?


What would you hope to get out of the experience?
I would hope to be closer to my family, really get to know them, and be able to understand what it was like for pioneers in 1983.

What do you think will be the most difficult challenge of pioneer life?
I think it would be hardest to work all the time, and not have lots of extra time.

What skills would you like to learn from the experience?
I would like to learn more about farming, caring for live stock, and generally how the pioneers lived.

We'd like you to tell us:
What interests you about this project?
I think it would be cool to live like the pioneers, really go into the past, so we can understand our history better.

Do you have any concerns about your participation?
N0, I have no concerns.

How much do you know about your family history -- do you have pioneer roots?
I have German an Scottish ancestors, so I do not have roots with pioneers.

How did you hear about Frontier House?
