If you haven't lived a rural life yet, there's no way in knowing if you'd love it or hate it. Ideas are just that, ideas. The idea of living out in the middle of nowhere appeals to many people, especially those in urban areas. Thing is that the majority of that thinking is based on romanticism, it ignores some of the things that get taken for granted in modern life. Grocery shopping, for example. It's different planning ALL your shopping on a 1 time per month trip vs. forgetting something and being able to pop in at Walmart or the Convenience store. Then there's utilities, gas especially, or kerosene in cold climates. Running out is not an option in the winter, and planning ahead is essential. There's a lot of other differences. The trade off is peaceful surroundings, a meaningful connection with the world around you, and some intangible things that have to be experienced to be understood personally.
Some take to it, some hate it with a passion.
