Once upon a time, the only electronics I was around were a transistor radio and the van's ignition system.
A bit earlier for me, we had valve (tube) radios---- a "4valve" portable, & my brother's "regen" shortwave set.
Our horse didn't have an ignition system!
For after-dark light, we had kerosene lanterns.
For outside, yeah, but in the kitchen, we had a "Aladdin" mantle lamp----great light!
For water, we carried pails down the hill and filled them from a hand pump.
Our well was never worth a damn, except for watering plants, so we had big galvanised water tanks fed off the house roof gutters.
In summer, we sometimes had to take a 44gal (55 US) drum into town to fill up at the standpipe.
( poor old horse didn't like that at all!)
For milk, we carried a milk pail to the neighbors dairy farm and got it fresh and unpasteurized.
We went one better, had our own cow!
For refrigeration, we put stuff in the so-called cold cellar.
No cold cellar, but the bottom of the "kitchenette", right near the cement floor was always pretty cool.
We could also hang ( waterproof ) things in a big waterbag under a tree.
For heat and cooking, we had the classic cast-iron stove.
To fuel the stove, we had to saw logs with a hand-saw and later chop them up with an axe.
We did this, too, but our block was pretty big, so we could often pick up reasonable sized bits of wood in the bush.
The toilet didn't flush, but we sometimes dumped a scoop of lime down the outhouse pit to keep the smell down.
Ours was a "chemical toilet"----it had some special stuff which the "dunny seat" lid dispensed every time you closed it, which was supposed to de-odorise things.
We ran out of the fancy stuff & used something else, can't remember what!
There were no cell phones.
No phones---- full stop!
(edit to fix typo)
Once upon a time. I don't do much that way anymore, but many of you can't even imagine living without modern conveniences.
