When you collect raven sh#t out of nests because it makes your pot grow more potent (D. Miller, circa 1975, in JH, as told by YC at his wake)

When you think of taking a bath, you worry about how much it will cost you and try to convince yourself that the river isn't that cold.

Jaybro, I suspect behaviour like your grandfather's isn't unusual among people of his generation from Scandinavia, or for that matter the U.S. and Canada. After the depression and then the war, they learned to be pretty frugal. Even the Swedes, whose economy wasn't hurt as badly during the war, but still was affected.

When you live for months on expired packs of chips discarded behind the Frito Lay distributor in Gunnison. When you had to decide between buying lunch or a carabiner. When every thing you own fits in a Lowe expedition pack. When the bulk of your soft goods are held together with copious quantities of duct tape.

Without naming locations (as this still goes on)
When you charge all your electrics behind ice/candy machines....
When you stock up on tampons from the courtesy baskets.....

When you can't afford a head lamp. So you tape a piece of alpine cord to one of those firefly pinch lights. This you bite down on while trying to find...
A bivy site
for the night
in the pegmatite!
Good thing you can't swallow
while you lead into the hollow
and prey your partner can follow.
But now it's well past late
you've no idea just how to rate
how far to push your fate.
In the pegmatite
for the night
what bivy site?
Sorry that just came out of me like a popcorn fart.
The head lamp thingy is true though.
come to think about so is the story line.

When you can fix any camping stove (Primus, MSR, Coleman, etc.) but have no clue on how to programing a T.V. remote.
When you have hemmed your pants with duct tape. You have used duct tape at least once to patch your jacket, pants, tent, sleeping bag, backpack, etc.
(I admit to all of these.)

You get tooled for no registration on your rig. The merciful ranger gives you a "fix it ticket" after you explained you have nor permanent address.
Your trip to the DMV's insists on an address so you use.....
