I never know what to make of you, Bob. How do you know that will make you 
happy if  you haven't done it? You seem fairly uninformed about homestead 
life (canned goods and dried food do NOT go in the root cellar). I did a lot 
of homestead stuff when I lived in the city...bought fruit and vegetables in 
season and canned them, cooked from scratch, gardened, made a lot of my own 
stuff....when I moved here, it wasn't a major lifestyle change. You don't 
sound like you are prepared  (or preparing) for that kind of change.
