Keeps things in perspective, doesn't it?

Yes. I wouldn't call it desirable but certainly doable.
My grandparents didn't get electricity or an indoor toilet until I was 4 and had gotten along fine for 50 odd years.
My folks got along with a pitcher pump and outhouse for a year... and kerosene lamps for a couple months.
Anything more than a cave and a brontosaurus bone to gnaw, is luxury.
