Being laid back, the Amish people do not use any electricity. Lamps are gas powered, producing a very dim light at night. Because of this, Amish househols usually are asleep at around 9 pm. Stoves are also gas powered, but in some Old Order Amish communities, coal is prefered. Clothes are usually suitable for church-going, and are hand weaved. Food is seetled through farming. In Amish families, men are the sole breadwinners. Travelling is slow, because of the use of horse buggies. On car, travelling from one community to another takes approximately half an hour, but on buggies, it can take as long as four hours. Water is supplied through wells dug in the neighbourhood.
Even though the Amish are laid back in their thinking and technology, but their basic needs can be taken care of easily.
