If I had visitors, it was the ultimate treat for them.

One of my buddies worked as a park ranger for two years at a remote cabin like that at Lone Wolf state park here in Oklahoma. No electricity, no running water. He did have a generator that he ran for a few hours at a time to charge the batteries for the radios. He had the same shower setup. He said one year taking a cold shower he was yelling in pain from the cold water and some campers over a mile away heard him and came to see if he was OK. He said after that at parties people often said that sounds great, a remote cabin in the woods. He explained it takes a lot of will power and sacrifice to live with no fresh food, and all the work needed to live like that. Lots of chopping wood.
