Anyone here use cast iron pans and skillets?

We are trying to become more self sufficient, literally altering every aspect of our lives that we can. So I've been debating switching over to cast iron (I've read that if cared for properly that they can last 75+ years), but I've never used it before. Is it worth the switch? Got any pros and cons for me?
