    • Trivia
      According to a 1975 New York Times Article, the real family the movies is based on moved from LA to the "lake-studded, forest high country of the Pacific Northwest" instead of to Colorado.
    • Goofs
      A pot that is on the stove when the family first enters the old cabin was not there the first time the stove is shown.
    • Quotes

      Skip: I just don't like the way our lives are going. I'm-I'm always unloading on you and the kids, I'm worried about Jenny, I hate my job and I just hate this stinking city.

    Wilderness Family movies
    First off, I am very fond of these movies. They remind me of my childhood and how much I love the outdoors. These movies aren't stellar, Oscar types, but, hey, they work when you want young children to see different animals and people who want a better quality of life. Although the action scenes may startle young ones ( they probably WON'T with all the stuff they see in the "movies" today). And, yes, the movies DON'T show all the important stuff (like how they knew how to build a cabin, etc) but it's a MOVIE, not REAL LIFE. If you want REALITY, I would strongly suggest you watch PBS's "Frontier House". That was GREAT and it CHALLENGED 3 families to live an 1883 lifestyle. No easy way out here, folks! These people were REALLY doing it. Otherwise, I will ALWAYS cherish these movies and when I have children of my own, share them with them.
