    Depends on the area but they were constantly busy. Warm seasons were 7 days a week sunup til sundown.

    For the cold seasons:

    • Wheat and barely were sown in the winter so that when spring showed up the crops sprouted and grew quickly
    • Logging/forestry work as well as trapping
    • Mending of tools, spinning of wool/flax into usable fabrics
    • Weaving baskets/clothes etc
    • Processing of slaughtered game into foodstuffs
    • Processing & protection of food stores
    • Repairs to your house
    • Ice fishing to augment stores of food
    • Building and fixing fences
    • Distilling and pickling foods
    • Generally anything that improves your chance of survival

    And of course:

    Hoping and praying that they had enough food to not starve to death.
