Without power sterring

Anyone try driving without the power steering functioning? I know at parking lot speeds and three point turnarounds will suck. What about on the freeway?

Cars of past without power steering are way more driveable, because they usually have steering designed to make easier even if non-assisted. Different steering wheel diameter & steering rack ratio, less caster.
I have driven without EPS mine (due being towed). It's very tiring (further made worse due need to use also unassisted brakes).
