So, I talk about my grandfather and grandmother lifestyle. ( in Estonia)
They have countryside house and lots of land, they get land for inheritance from farmers ancestors, so they do not need pay for it (only land tax but as I understand it is not very much)
They are pensioners, so they do not go to work. They have car, so if they want to go to work, they can go to nearby small towns: Paide ( 7700 inhabitants), Türi (4900 inhabitants), or they can go to work to Estonian capital city Tallinn ( 450 000 inhabitants)-then they must drive in car every day 2,5 hours, it is disturbing but possible. So, you can live in countryside and work in town.
Heating: So, as in North Europe, we need to heat our homes. My grandparents have wood heating house, and they have own forest where they get wood. But when you want firewood from forest, you need to machines to take it, My grandparents do not have it but my grandfather have familiar farmer who have. They have oral agreement that my grandfather help this farmer with physical works, and farmer help my grandfather with machines. So, heating problem solved.
Water: They have own borehole, so water is ok.
Electricity: They buy electricity, so it is not independent. Borehole do not work without Electricity. But it is very easy to solve it, just put up solar planes and then electricity problem is solved.
Food: They grow potatoes, but as I say they do not have machines, so they pay to tractor operator(so it is not 100 per cent self sufficient). Usually they get so much potatoes that I, my parents, my uncles and all family tree eat their potatoes. They also grow carrots, turnips, cabbage and other little things. They have chickens, about 10-20, chickens are lots of outside and are looking for themselves food, in winter time they eat cereals. During the harvest, trucks drop so much cereal down, that everyone can take it freely. So, my grandparents need to buy milk, meat and bread, but when civilization fall they can survive.
Neighbors: So, they have neighbors, but they are at a sufficient distance. So they do not complain that your chickens are illegal.
Time: Electricity- it does not take much time, water-it does not take much time, heating- it take some time, potatoes- it does not make lots of time, chickens- it does not take much time.
Conclusion: You can work in town, and live with countryside home and have independent heating, water, electricity and food. It is useful, when destroy power plants, lors of city people can not survive. Jews hate really hard rural life, even rabbi marx said rural idiotism or whatever. USSR try hard to destroy traditional rural life. Such fucked country like Swede have low rural residents percent.

You can never be really independent in big city.
