- In the Summer of 2022, we purchased forty acres in the north woods of the Great Lakes region and built our yurt.

Congrats you guys! That's how it's done folks... Yip yip!
Thanks for the support!
I am now nearing 73...i started out with a lean-to and built off that. Im very comfortable. No mortgage debt free have fruit trees, blueberries, raspberries, and several vegetables gardens. Never give up on your dream !
Beautiful! Thank you
Who needs a cabin when you have a yurt. Nice job !
Thanks!
So proud of you guys! Great job and it just keeps getting better with your hard work, vision and occasional help from friends.
An Anatolian/Arabic maljis floor sofa would be great in there. Just a Cultural recommendation 👍
"Kids today, no ambition, no sense of hard work, don't even go outside much, just sit with their smart phones and play games!" LOL, thanks for providing another counterexample. I believe you're on the right track for life. My life choices were quite a bit different from yours, but I did avoid unnecessary debt, did a lot of my own work, and now I'm in my 50s, retired (wife also retired), no debt at all, living the good life. It's good to see others setting themselves up for true success, going about it differently but with a clear path.
Thanks, Bruce! It’s affirming to receive comments like yours. We certainly do not shy away from hard work. Love to hear from folks ‘down the road’ who’ve made it and are livin’ the good life!
I really hate that argument, like this is self sufficient but its not really helpful to society as a whole, hell if everyone was doing this sort of thing society would fall back to nomadic tribes quickly. Not everyone can be the outdoors style self sufficient group, some have to be specialized to do tasks required for a modern society.
Our first structure we put up on our land was our yurt before we started building our cabin. I look forward to following your journey.
Can't wait to see you two
Build your Cabin you two did
A great job with the Yurt

Hope to do this same thing!
Right on, reach out with any questions!
Love the vibe!
Ps love the Fischer wood stove...
We do too
Okay, I have to say, AWESOME JOB and awesome dream!! I found this video to be very satisfying. Please post your building off the cabin or just how life is going in between the processes. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thanks Sky King for the support! Will do!
Very nice to meet you guys I am from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦. Your place is very awesome.
Thanks neighbor!
Nice!
So inspiring 💙🙏🦋
Thank you for the support ✨💕
Nice work

Love this!
Good job folks, Congrats !

Solongos Camp in Korea has been producing Gerhouse, a K-Yurt since 2002.
If you use our construction method, you don't have to spend a lot of money and time to build a yurt and make a wooden deck in the air, just like in the US.
build a formwork on the first day of construction, pour concrete, and start lattice wall, right from the next morning can be built.
In addition, our method transmits the earth's geothermal heat to the yurt by pouring concrete on the foundation and floor of the yurt, so it is superior in insulation compared to the American method of making a yurt flatform and floating it in the air.
Because the yurt platform, the most basic part, is firmly bound to the ground with concrete, it is strong against earthquakes and typhoons without having to install a separate safety device.
In addition, our method does not use only one or two layers of insulation to cover the yurt, as in the US, but we use about 20 layers of the insulation is so excellent that you do not feel very hot or cold in midwinter or midsummer.

Thank you Sam and Zach for sharing ) Am planing to move and have some land close to the mountains. This Yurt idea seems like a good one! )))
Right on Gary, thanks for the support! Keep us posted on your adventures!
Jeep Wrangler CJ, YJ, or TJ could easily handle that quad trail,
Plus be street legal, and carry a lot more each trip.
amazing
Great Video! I like your style. I went through a similar exercise on my own off grid land this last year building a shed. Hoping to get an ATV this year, though most of the time I can get my car within 100yards of my shed. Granted, where I want to build my cabin is way up the hill with a very primitive 2 track road crossing quite a few seasonal creeks to get up there.
So many great media influences has inspired the “style” we’re going for. Thanks for recognizing our effort. The four wheeler was a game changer for progress this past summer. Hoping for a real road in this upcoming year.
Awesome job! When you get your cabin built you can use the yurt for a Ham Radio Shack.
Lol thanks Keith… great idea!
Great job guys! You are an inspiration to me. I live in Northern Wisconsin and would love to build and live in a yurt once we retire. I only need to talk my wife into it. 🙂
Thanks Jason! Lots of yurts around the north!
Oh a tiny house. Well done. However be carefull, no real access can get you cut off from your property.
Thanks! We have an easement to our land. Legal access
Me and my GF bought 11 acres. Looking forward to putting up a yurt as well
Right on Bacon Craving 🤙🏼
I love this small motorcycle 🏍️🥰
Ohhhhh yeahhhhh
Well done, happy for you.
Thank you!
Керемет тамаша ❤❤❤😂
The wife and I have been living in a 20ft yurt for 3 years on our little 5 acres and I wouldn't change a thing.
What a wonderful community we have!
Where?

Greetings, Sara!
I'm in the process of building a tiny home on a flatbed but since I've been seeing more about yurts I'm tempted to change my mind. Having a yurt gives you more options with the type of land you live on.
Shaun, it’s been a great option for us, though we didn’t go into the project with building skills or tools. So an instruction manual and a days of work setting it up appealed to us. It has its pros and cons, just like everything.
Yurts are fantastic but you need to be sure that your state and county will allow one. Here in Colorado yurts are allowed in some areas and but more often not. Yurts can also be cold in the winter and hot in the summer. The insulation that comes with a yurt kit is not generally very thick, but can be increased by adding 1/2 inch flexible foam panels sold in home stores. I lived in a 16 footer for a year and have always wanted to do it again, but in a larger one.
@@jeffreyallen1290 Luckily I'm buying land that allows it. I'm glad I'll have several options.
@@sam_zach Thanks for sharing.
That trailer though..... LOL Love the yurt
Lol that trailer for sure. We bought it initially to hand pull everything back to our spot. Then when we got the four wheeler, we started using a 4x8 utility trailer.
Nice job.
About how much did it cost in all to build platform, if you wouldn’t mind sharing? Also, would you happen to have build plans for the platform? Or know where to find them?
Hey Andrew, our latest video breaks it down

Только это не юрта.
I admire their bravery and stamina. Why ? Because the dude holds a hammer like a sushi knife.
You’re too kind
very nice yurt 👍
can I ask how much about does a yurt cost $ ?
Hard to throw out a precise number. Hopefully we’ll have a video out shortly with a cost breakdown
Harika video olmuş emeğinize sağlık. Bu arada kanalınıza misafir olarak geldik. Bizde kanalımıza ziyaretinizi bekleriz 🙂🙂
What size yurt is that?
6 meters
How much is the price for one yurt with out the base or give me a web sete where can I check it please 😊
Hey Leonardo, check out Pacific Yurts at yurts.com to look at pricing. Ours is 20ft diameter with the insulation kit.
Great work and a beautiful spot for the yurt and your future cabin. 👍
Thanks Kennet ✌🏼
Hi Guys, my compliments, it's very nice and right decision! i'm planning to do the same in 5-6 years (i think it require a bit of preparation and money saving). I start following you and i've 4 curiosity, if u have time and u should be so gentle. 1) I'm curious to know, i'm Italian, where's "great Lakes" i think u mean US, but i dunno where this place is... 2) how much you spent for 14 acres, i'm searching in databases but free place (to buy from state) are 4-5 acres (and they are too small for build and gardening). 3) how's the rules there about constructions, there's a Building limits? (in sq feets) or it's free size? 4) can you build a hole for the water gathering, or a sealed trough to collect rainwater for irrigation?
thanks a lot, i will follow you, nice to meet you and my best, 4u,
Hi Danny! Thank you for your support! The Great Lakes region is north-central US States and Ontario (bordering the Great Lakes). We will be coming out with a video very soon about how much we paid for the yurt and land, so keep an eye out for that. We were able to get a permit for the yurt without any issues, but it completely varies by locality. Right now we carry water from nearby or melt snow, but we hope to drill a well someday. Take care!
What yurt company did you use?
Pacific Yurts out of Cottage Grove Oregon. Check out this video to learn about our journey

In da yoop?
Nice work Zach and Sam! You got a sub from me. My wife and I are doing a few off-grid cabins and documenting it on our channel. We just bought 33 acres and it has a pole barn. Can’t wait to follow your journey!
Right on! Sure is a great community out here. We’ll check out your channel!
I notice homesteaders do not leave a clue as to the state or even county where they live. So how can you evaluate their situation and problems encountered if there's no clue as to their location and weather conditions for that area. 💫
Joseph, are you asking for their precise location?
They are probably not interested in attracting unwanted intruders...
@@joemama22 Robert, they don't have to give out their address just general location so you know at least the location of the state. States cover a lot of area. Millions of square miles. They'd be quite safe.
I guess if your paranoid and hiding in the woods or dessert your correct.
I live in Florida, think you can find me without an address? But Florida tells you an awful lot about my living environment.
He said the north woods. So I assume high in the north east .
check out the legalese definition of real property, different then owning property.
Cool, why do you mention John?
@@sam_zach
when people know something they can then protect themselves, their family and nature

Right on
One room.
Sure does!
Where in Michigan are you? Upper P or lower? I'm from Michigan. It's a beautiful state. I wish you both well in building your cabin.
Thanks Denise! We agree, the UP sure is beautiful.
