Skiers have to haul their gear to the slopes, which tend to be at the end of winding roads. Hunters need to find a way to haul their game back to town with them.
There are going to be limits to car-free living, but there are also choices one must make for any lifestyle. I like the lifestyle I've got, but I also realize not everyone will be able to make it work for themselves. But I'm also more interested in finding out how to make a car-light life work for me than in looking for reasons why it might not work for someone else.
My son played a double bass for years...we had a dedicated Honda station wagon to haul the thing around...fortunately it was an old Honda that I paid $150 for
our other family car at the time was a 4 door Ford Escort and the bass wouldn't fit in it.
