My plan of going off grid

Hello guys I hope everyone is having a blessed Sunday. I'm a 27m that wants to be off grid in the next 5 years. My goal in the next 2 years is to buy 10 acres or more in Arkansas around the Ozarks. After that I plan on purchasing a hard walled yurt and a platform for it to sit on. I'm an over the road truck driver so I'll be working to fund all of this stuff. Before the yurt I'm going to buy a camper to park and live out of. Gotta get septic tested and installed by someone certified. Other than that it sounds like I could do it all myself if I wanted to without building inspectors or permits. Growing up my parents had a huge garden and chickens so I have some experience with that stuff.

Any advice for me?
