if you had 2 make a shelter from scraps - say a shtf scenario - this inspired me - you cud use thin trees as the circled wall, drive them into the ground side by side standing up, find a wagon wheel, make knife carved holes for limbs when making the roof, use saplings to tie everything. bike wheels may work 2. pack walls & roof with branches as tight as possible & coat in mud. the more mud cycles the better. wouldnt be portable but if you need longer term shelter its an easy 1 or 2 person build
You just pretty much described a bronze age round house. The only difference with a round house is that they didn't use the wheel. They just lashed the roof branches together in the middle instead of using a wheel, then they thatched the roof.
They made the walls just as you described, weaving thin branches between posts to make the wall. Then covered with a mud / straw mixture.
I think the wheel would work though, cool idea. I'd love to build one.
There's a lots shake's here n there, but not much damage so they keep it quet, but Earthquake is in serious consideration in capital city now, because of bad quality of buildings
i slept in these last year it was very homie =D and in Mongolia they call them 'Gers" which literally means "home" but of course these are found in the countryside not in the city.
They make dont use a single spike to biuld a ger, and everything made by hand, everysingle tsing, they dont even use a drill to make an hole, it's amazing
@YoungKoolness17 How do you know there wasn't any earthquake, there are frequent earthquake in Mongolia nowadaysdude, thank god not much damage because of most of population still use Ger:),
Mongolia is not part of China, it is its own individual state मंगोलिया चीन का हिस्सा नहीं है, यह अपने स्वयं के व्यक्तिगत राज्य है Mongolië nie deel van China, is dit sy eie staat Mongoli nuk është pjesë e Kinës, ajo është shtet vet individuale منغوليا ليست جزءا من الصين ، من حالته الفردية Մոնղոլիա չէ մասը Չինաստանի, դա իր անհատական պետական Monqolustan Çin hissəsi deyil, öz fərdi dövlətdir Mongolia ez da Txina barruan, bere egoera pertsona da Манголі 蒙古国是独立国家
I love seeing how nomadic peoples like the Mongolians survive in their nomadic shelters! And I love that elderly man's skin complexion. I just want to his portrait in painting!
2:20 Why don't you all just plant some crops? You would have sustainable food and wouldn't have to be movin' around all the time taking apart that damn yurt. Oh yeah, you don't want to disturb the Earth.
Ray Mears is no Bruce Parry! Mears is so condescending and false to ALL of the people he meets, whereas Parry becomes part of them, and, in my opinion, leaves a positive mark on all he comes into contact with. You can see that Ray Mears has rehearsed all he does....
@Crecybowman There's nothing wrong with preparation and planning, ESPECIALLY with dealing with other peoples in other countries. You never know what may offend them by doing things on-the-fly. Better to take your time and prepare what and how you're going to interact with the people you interact with, especially when you're trying to show their culture as much as possible without your clumsy mistakes. Besides, Mears is being respectful and considerate, so he's leaving a good mark, too. ;)
Why cant we have little villages of these in the uk. Councils talk about been green, but make it almost impossible to buy some land and live green. You seem to have to be super rich to live in an eco house. I'd prefer a Yurt....
a little modern ifluence: they dont disturbe the earth with pegs yet they don't mind using a modern nylon wrap for the first layer. of correct me if i'm wrong...but sounds a bit like an amish using a phone....but really i love it., would live that way some days ...any day!
You BBC people, you are actually prophanating the privacy and virginity of each culture in the world, arriving with your cameras, laptops and mobile phones. you are seeding the evil of greed in communities that have been living like they are for god knows how many thousands of years. the girls there will start wanting a playstation and bitching around with niggers and binge drinking instead of being lovely housewives as they are.
@SpicyMonkey123: and to think that people in North East USA work their entire lives to pay off a home mortgage that spans over 30 years. Some people don't realize what what is necessary and what is plain luxury.
Right now millions of their cattle died because of the incredible cold winter, I believe their live has nothing to do with our romantic dreams and wishes of living as a nomad we have sometimes, it´s fighting for survival day by day for them. Anyway these ancient mobile homes are very impressive. This technology allowed the Mongols to conquer the hugest empire
the world has ever seen, because they could move very fast with all their people from one side of Eurasian continent to the other.
? why was the snuff the guy got was white? it's supposed to be broken down tobbacoo with a really fine texture that mostly light brown to dark brown. Mabye it was Cocaine? lol serriouslly though what was it.
@dylanpitt ok i have respect for you but WTF why do you say indeed your not serlock homes or anything...... sorry i just really hate that ward i see it every where in stuff like this like ppl trying to sound so smart or some shit... like come on it dont make you sound any smarter ....like what is this 1890
Yea that's what I need at 3 A.M. After a heavy night of parting with the locals on fermented mares milk and the equalivent of roadkill from the steps of western Mongolia a round room with one door.
So nomads are superior to other people because they do not destroy their environment? Okay that's nice.
If the rest of the world tried to live in this superior way 5 billion people would be dead within a year. Mongolians can afford to do this because they are a population of roughly 1 million people in an area about 1/5 the size of China.
The rest of the world does not have that luxury, friend. Their culture is not superior, but rather superior relative to their surrounding.
A concern of mine is that many people don't even try to live sustainably. In my country New Zealand there was an outcry when many supermarkets tried to charge 5 cents for disposable plastic bags. If attitudes like that persist the future of the world seems uncertain to me.
People (including you) want to have a high standard of living, end of story. Going sustainable is an expensive and inefficient investment of resources that many people cannot afford.
Climate change is a science heavily flawed by political influences, and under heavy scrutiny right now. Therefore I do not take climate change as a reason to force sustainability.
@HapaLife "Going sustainable is an expensive and inefficient investment of resources that many people cannot afford" Do you understand the meaing of the word sustainable? Your comment suggets othersise.
In regards to the 5 cent tax my belief is that people were protesting the principle rather than the actual amount. Historically, governments always start small initially to get a foothold and then build from there. Therefore people protest the act in hopes of offsetting inevitable future ones.
The 5 cents per plastic bag wasn't a tax it was our supermarkets showing some initiative and trying to cut down on wastage. There's no such thing as free plastic, so if you waste it you end up paying more for your goods.
Eventually humans will have to be sustainable because there are far too many of us now.
Many fish in the sea already have levels of mercury that aren't healthy for humans to eat so we are trying hard to kill ourselves, not just the environment.
@ChinaKillsTibetans You ar right. Have you ever thought that medicine should have never existed? because the ecology of the Earth maintains an equilibrium as to how long each individual should live in order to have enough resources for all. Medicine is breaching that balance and now we have a planet full of people with white hair and over 6 billion people shitting twice a day
@ChinaKillsTibetans as per your plastic bags in supermarkets. For gods sake dont be so stupid. Macrocorporations dont give a shit about ecology, they are the main destroyers. the only thing they care about is money. if they care so much about ecology why are they giving you bags of plastic that carry their advertisement full of colors which poison even more the soil. they make you pay and yet they use you to advertise their supermarket.
Many people care about money and some people even care about the environment. If you shop at a supermarket where you pay for plastic bags your groceries should be cheaper. That's the case for the only supermarket chain in NZ which charges for plastic bags and they don't waste money on weekly paper advertising either.
@HumanRightsVideosT you can be fully certain that if they decided not to issue the weekly paper it was in no way related to ecology, but their studies must have proven that that paper always ended up in the bin unread. to cut off an advertising means has been a strategic marketing decision. we have a saying that says "think bad and you will guess it right". (piensa mal y acertarás)
@HumanRightsVideosT what a business cares about is its own financial survival. The issue about ecology is a pain in the ass for them and they would only be concerned about if the political cost of bad reputation could cause them lose clients, so what they all have done now is "turn green" they boast about how they care for the environment, like those ads for wash machines powders saying "nuclear free" powder, as if powders had Uranium and Plutonium before
@HumanRightsVideosT people who have a business are ruled by the laws of making it more financially succesful, whatever it takes. If it means selling their mothers, they will.
@HumanRightsVideosT the answer is that I would not own a business because I would not be willing to sell my mother, even if, in my particular case, I have never seen my mother.
@ChinaKillsTibetans It's taken us centuries to see that eveything we do will eventually mess up human socitiy, Progress really means nothing (except enormous medical bills and stress) In a lot of ways these people and others like them have a vastly greater chance of surviving catastrofy than anyone in the "morden" world because they are self sustained, yet if an invader from the modern world came against them they'd be toast. (the human race is just a mess)
Hey, real barbarian. I think you are excess here. We are talking about one nation's culture and their living style. Everybody is different, so every nation are different. So, do not send us your bad, evil thoughts from your septic brain. Please. Just leave us and use your brain and power to useful things for you. And, Please do not come back here and do not waste your golden hours.
We made some modern yurts for a festival out of 8 foot wall and crown poles and 20 foot rafter poles that we shaved and painted. We used eyebolts and tied them with parachute cord and wire cable. We made the roof ring out of steel tire rims with long tabs welded on. Then we lifted a vinyl yurt cover over it and tied it all down. Quite different from this, but essentially the same idea.
ya because its culture. to exchange tobbacco. a tradition that goes back hundreds or thousands of years. what i wanna know is why these mongolians, unlike chinese, vietmanese, and afghan nomads choose tobaco instead of opium
Perhaps they decided hallucinations were bad for the nomadic life? I say this as a joke, but it may well be true. I don't know enough about opium or mongols to say.
It never ceases to amaze me that people with a world of information mere clicks away are still too lazy to look up a simple word like "snuff" and would prefer instead to leave idiotic comments.
I used to be an adventurer like you... Then i took an arrow to the knee :(

Businesses are owned by people. Some people care about the environment. So not every business will be an environmental disaster.

@HumanRightsVideosT people who have a business are ruled by the laws of making it more financially succesful, whatever it takes. If it means selling their mothers, they will.

If you owned a business would you sell your mother? (personally I wouldn't)
HumanRightsVideosT 1 year ago
@HumanRightsVideosT the answer is that I would not own a business because I would not be willing to sell my mother, even if, in my particular case, I have never seen my mother.

My father owned a business. But he didn't sell his mother.

@ChinaKillsTibetans It's taken us centuries to see that eveything we do will eventually mess up human socitiy, Progress really means nothing (except enormous medical bills and stress) In a lot of ways these people and others like them have a vastly greater chance of surviving catastrofy than anyone in the "morden" world because they are self sustained, yet if an invader from the modern world came against them they'd be toast. (the human race is just a mess)

Hey, real barbarian. I think you are excess here. We are talking about one nation's culture and their living style. Everybody is different, so every nation are different. So, do not send us your bad, evil thoughts from your septic brain. Please. Just leave us and use your brain and power to useful things for you. And, Please do not come back here and do not waste your golden hours.

Perhaps if you had the slightest shred of evidence to back up your impotent abuse someone might respect you more than a rabid beast.
Instead you've just shown yourself to be amusingly pathetic.

We made some modern yurts for a festival out of 8 foot wall and crown poles and 20 foot rafter poles that we shaved and painted. We used eyebolts and tied them with parachute cord and wire cable. We made the roof ring out of steel tire rims with long tabs welded on. Then we lifted a vinyl yurt cover over it and tied it all down. Quite different from this, but essentially the same idea.

The exchange of tobacco can only go back hundreds of years, as it came from America. It was unknown in the old world prior to around 1500 AD.

ya because its culture. to exchange tobbacco. a tradition that goes back hundreds or thousands of years. what i wanna know is why these mongolians, unlike chinese, vietmanese, and afghan nomads choose tobaco instead of opium

Perhaps they decided hallucinations were bad for the nomadic life? I say this as a joke, but it may well be true. I don't know enough about opium or mongols to say.

It never ceases to amaze me that people with a world of information mere clicks away are still too lazy to look up a simple word like "snuff" and would prefer instead to leave idiotic comments.
