Could you live in a Yurt?

A yurt is a portable, felt covered, wood lattice-framed dwelling structure used by nomads and others in the steppes and cities of Central Asia. The very word yurt is originally from the Turkic word that means "dwelling place" in the sense of "homeland". Yurts are centuries old and they are thought to have originated in Mongolia and what is now Turkey, Northern Iran and Afghanistan, by nomadic tribes.
Today they are an inexpensive and sustainable way to live full time or as additional room for work, play, guests or meditation. For more info visit http://irene-turner.com

By myself, with my dogs, No problem! I'd love it. Add a woman, ain't no way!

We all pay taxes. In the future, we will be paying 70% tax to support programs which everyone should be using rather than just a segment of the population. Grow food, the day is coming...

do they make yurt garages because I don't want my hummer to get sun damage.

@MickScarborough - Now I'm beginning to think you are crazy. Your reply to me is a total non sequitur arising from you're being too lazy to figure out what I was reacting to in the first place (homelessness had nothing at all to do with it). Both your expletives and childish allcaps reveal you to be an excessively angry person in need of help. I'd say I hope you get it, but that would be untrue. I really couldn't care less whether you ever get well or not.

@Ichliebemusikundybd what part of the country do you live in? I build small homes, portable and foundation but I know an amazingly low priced company out of Ohio that builds log products for about 50 percent of the cheapest companies out there.

@Thekrega

Why not? I'm trying to convince my husband and he doesn't want to. I would love to be in a small house. Less of a darn mess. lol

Well they don't have to pay taxes....

You can live anywhere, in any enviornment. Take Heminthins or Intestinal Nematodes (worms)as an example. They live inside your large intestine, eat your poo and raise families up in there. You don't ever hear them complain, do ya?

Helped put a cooking stove into one recently build by good neighbours. Amazing, cozy, welcoming interior. Lovely to see and so much more survivable then concrete brick tombs in cities. I really do pity city dwellers when their landlords or bankers cut off their power and heat and increase rents at the same time. Only then will the "dislikes" get it when the cops arrest them for building a small fire to keep warm on cold winter nights. Oh well, too bad.

@EyeLean5280 We are not talking about half of humanity. Homelessness in third world countries is a different matter but homeless in the developed world... YES they are crazy. If you cant handle the truth then thats your problem. I WORK IN THE FIELD. I can guarantee you do not. You talk solely from your ass. I talk from epxerience.
