Build Yourself A Portable Home – A Mongolian Yurt

“A guide to Building Yurts…or more specifically, how I built mine!

Based on Knowledge Gained from “Doing it Myself”, and reading about it on-line.

I’ve now built three yurts, for myself and friends, and we go camping in Luxury in these a few times a year. If you like the outdoors, but you hate having to crawl around in pokey little tents then this one’s for you!

We sleep two of us in luxury in this tent, in a full queen-sized bed!  Of course, sleeping on the floor, like a plastic tent, you could probably sleep 20 people, easily! We have dedicated hanging space for our clothes so they don’t crumple or anything, and lockable boxes for our belongings (or a lock on the door works too!)

When we invite other camping-inclined friends over for a party in our tent, we can comfortably fit 15-20 people in, sitting around on cushions and lounging on the bed and on the rugs on the floor… now that’s what I can a party tent…”

Self Sufficient Backyard

In all that time an electric wire has never been connected to our house. We haven’t gotten or paid an electricity bill in over 40 years, but we have all the electricity we want. We grow everything we need, here, in our small backyard. We also have a small medicinal garden for tough times. Read More Here...
