Nomad Shelter • Homer, Alaska • Tutka Bay

This is the 2nd of two videos produced recently featuring yurts built by Nomad Shelter in Homer, Alaska. This was shot across Kachemak Bay at their "Tutka Bay 2" yurt. Allison from True North Kayaking gave us a ride as far as Yukon Island. Then, Nicole Pearson and I paddled the rest of the way up Tutka Bay. Filmed by Nicole Pearson and David Lakota. Log-on to NomadShelter.com to find out more about renting or owning a Yurt.

can you just set up any where or the price of land im an ignorant eastener live in the mountains but all tourists white mountains ya know very popular with city folk used to be nice years ago lived off the land but the days are numbered for peace and quiet round here love those sea gulls cant get near the ocean to crowded here thanks you should be proud of what youve done bang up job

[DavidLakota]

Yes, you are an ignorant Easterner. But that is okay, that is what education is for. There is land everywhere for those willing to explore, serve or work the land, to live and play in a holistic way. Everyone else has to pay rent or a mortgage. "The only reason people have to work for money is because they are disconnected from Nature." -native saying

do u own the land or did u just wander into the woods?

[DavidLakota]

Nobody really owns the land. They are just temporary stewards upon it. This particular land is part of a state park system- free for all to explore and discover, camp on, etc.

instead of a woodstove how about one o those ventless fireplaces?? what about keeping it cool during the summer?

[DavidLakota]

There's no problem keeping cool in Alaska summers unless you are way up north. Even there it is cool at night. This particular cabin is sheltered from both excessive heat and cold.

[pac6010]

lol "lightweight" Ya as compared to logs I guess, not really something you can throw on your back with everything else is it. Like the rounded style its like a frontier canvas tent that I love so much.

[davetileguy]

Is it Bear proof? Ha!

[Ichliebemusikundybd]

Tears cascade down my face this is one of my visions unfolding before the screen, the less drive you have to accumulate material wealth the more time you have to immerse yourself within the wealth of beauty our universe still has to offer. Life's a teacher and its lessons will enrich your soul beyond all measure, conscious living for 2012!
