live in a yurt

I don’t need a big house and lots of things. I want to live simply and make a minimum impact on the environment

I’d love to take this trip with someone special – Would be a lovely weekend.

This weekend I stayed in a teepee in France. It was really cool – It even rained at night and I could listen to the pitter patter on the canvas

I like the canvas ones but I think keeping it mould free might be a problem as would leaving the laptop in it when you went out I have been to Goulburn Yurt Farm but when I went to buy a house I ended up in a boring old rectangular one I sold it I still hanker after a yurt

I think living in a yurt would be a really good experience. I would at least like to have one on some land, so I could spend time there.

As part of my desire to simplify my life I want to live in a Yurt. Not sure how it will handle Canadian winters but I cant help but think all will be well, after all the winters in Mongolia can hardly be a picnic right?

WHO HAS NOT WANTED TO DO THIS?!
I guess it comes as a part of my obsession and fascination with the country of Mongolia.

we’ve got plans! pie in the sky, but still plans! Ian can work trees, Jenny is a blacksmith, and I can sew. Sounds like a Yurt Making Party to me!!! (plans made at beltaine 08.)

I still like the idea of these, but I don’t like the lattice interior of the canvas ones so much…it makes me feel a little caged. Maybe having lots of windows and skylight would help.

I like the designs shown here, and they appear to be a relatively inexpensive way to build a house. Now I just need a nice benefactor to give us a small piece of land in West Marin County and I’d be set. Right, that’s going to happen…
