In the wilds of Vermont, Charles and Jill have crafted a remarkable offgrid oasis, a 700 ft yurt that stands as a testament to their self-sufficiency. With solar power and rainwater collection, they've embraced a lifestyle that's as rugged as it is rewarding. Facing challenges head-on, they tackled plumbing and heating solutions with the grit and determination of true pioneers. Their rainwater system ensures independence, while the septic setup was a crucial step in their offgrid journey. The yurt, with a price tag of around $100,000, including appliances and offgrid systems, stands as a beacon of their dedication to a debt-free existence.
Living debt-free has liberated Charles and Jill to focus on their property and share their adventures on their YouTube channel. Challenges like integrating into the rural community and managing the yurt's temperature in summer have tested their mettle. Yet, with plans for landscaping, a covered porch, and dreams of a passive solar home, their journey is far from over. The yurt, a temporary yet surprisingly pleasant abode, has become a symbol of their resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
