I lived in a 20' diameter yurt for two years outside of Durango, Colorado. I found a land owner that had 16,000 acres and we plopped it down an an elevation of about 8000 feet. We used fiberglass insulation just because it was 1982-3 and organic insulation was hard to find. I cherished the lifestyle and would have remained longer but they wanted to develop the ground I was on. If I had the opportunity to do it again, I would pounce on it. Thank you for posting!

"Yurt" is a Turkish word that is still being used for dormitories. Also we call our country as our "yurt". These traditional turkish tents are still being used on higher altitudes here in our country. In summer we climb to higher altitudes for fresh and cool air and also to feed our animals. Soo we still do use exactly same tents here. People living their whole life in these tents are called "Yörük" people. The word comes from "yürümek" verb. Which means "to walk" in Turkish. These people (my ancestors used to as well) stay in these tents whole their lifes travelling to lands of grass for their animals and trading. You can easily come accross with such huge families if you are travelling around Toros Mountains region. One important thing is that we prefer goat wool rather than sheep. That is because goat wool is better for climate controlling. It keeps warmer in winter and cooler in summer and much more retardant to fire and water. That is surely a fact. Unfortunately it is not easy to find such spinned and woven goat wool these days. Like my grandma used to do and i loved to watch. Fabricated stuff do not work as well as experienced. You must go up the mountains or wait for them come down once in a summer. Any one who is willing to reach the sources for real can reach me here. Best regards. | "Yurtta sulh cihanda sulh" "Peace at home peace in the world" Mustafa Kemal Atatürk |

Despite her apparent passion for yurts, I was left with too many questions to call that a good interview...How much does it weigh? Is it really portable? What was that wood floor, looks permanent? How much does a yurt cost? In an 8 wall yurt, what counts as a wall? Are there options for more modern materials? Are many people living in yurts in North America? What would the ideal Climate be? What is that top window made from? etc etc. Don't feel the interviewer did anything other than relay a short infomercial :/

I know, I fell in love with the true Mongolian Yurts as well…but will have to save up money for it and land. My family think I am crazy for wanting to live in something like this but what choice do I have… I don’t want to do more harm to the environment as we humans have already done, plus I am trying to downsize…not get more ‘stuff’. Besides, the outhouse can be just as unique as the main yurt. Just get a smaller yurt and use it as the outhouse, plus there will be plenty of room to divide it into sections and have a bathing area as well. I have also been told that it is possible to connect several yurts together to create different ‘rooms’ which would be cool if you are wanting more privacy

You can make Wall Tent that's just as big and much more portable for cheaper. You just need a sewing machine, a bunch of bedsheets, and several quarts of Boiled Linseed Oil. You just soak the sheets in the Oil one-by-one, hang each up to dry like an animal skin, then you sew them all together. You can strengthen the seams by getting some water-resistant Vinyl, cutting pairs of strips, and using leather rivets, the appropriate setting tool, and a silicone/rawhide mallet to secure the strips over the seams top-and-bottom. Throw some Scotch-Guard on beforehand, as well as some glue in order to create a more secure reinforcement. That's the cover. You can place Space Blankets/Casualty Blankets inside to reflect the heat from the stove back into the center of the shelter.

By night I'm just devastated so God help me this video off-grid living it's so I want for myself and for the world I wish that I could have some sort of program that converted humans back into a tiny House 2 acclimate them to Tiny living but then helps the transition or facilitate the transitioning of them moving into your heart slash off-grid living of some kind of any kind we as a community as a human Community have to start the process of globally changing mass amount communities back into its native self are we collectively will kill the planet as we collectively are destroying it now I just pray for myself and I pray for the planet and I just hope that we survive this sorry for putting all these comments on your video it just came out of my cell and I couldn't stop it I was only in this Lee trying to say thank you because in watching your video I looked around myself in the car and realized that I was in my own tiny little house now and it's comfortable but and you don't have all the little resources you need it's devastating
