‘Little Rascals’ Star Says He Took ‘Vow of Poverty,’ Plans to Live Off Grid

Bug Hall donated most savings and possessions to live off-grid on 80 acres in Arkansas, homeschooling five children guided by his religious beliefs and vow of poverty.

  • Recently, Bug Hall revealed he took a vow of poverty and is living off-grid with his wife Jill and their five children, according to the outlets.
  • Following that 2020 incident, Hall said relapses followed a long period of sobriety and that his faith made him reassess his life after his June 20, 2020 arrest in Weatherford, Texas for alleged inhaling of air duster.
  • Hall donated most of his savings and material possessions, describing them as `a big pile of nothing` and saying the sacrifice felt comparatively small.
  • On an 80-acre plot near Mountain View, Arkansas, Hall plans a self-sufficient home using a hydro‑electrical dam and special plumbing and electrical systems, with his extended family relocating nearby.
  • Turning away from mainstream roles, Hall will homeschool his children and discourage college, as he stated in a conversation with The Daily Mail.
