This sounds like a cool show. It also sounds very similar to one we had up here in Canada a year or two back. It was called "A Year in the Life of a Pioneer" or something like that. There were only two couples, a middle aged couple and a newlywed couple in their twenties. I didn't get to watch the whole series but did enjoy what I did see. <br><br>Your PBS show sounds a whole lot more involved, like there is a whole town there. <br><br>I think "A year in the life of..." was broadcast on the Life Channel and now they are broadcasting another show along the same lines only its a group of men paddling a freight canoe from somewhere in Ontario up to James Bay (Hudson Bay). They are supposed to be recreating the travels of what we in Canada call the "Voyageurs", a group of French Fur traders from the 17 and 18 hundreds. <br><br>
