Its so great that there are pros and cons! usually these types of videos are sugar coated for the best possible times! refreshing and useful! such a beautiful space!
That looks amazing. I really appreciated. I'm from Mongolia. I see that yurt is not traditional Mongolian. Real Mongolian Traditional Ger has much amazing things. There isnt any toilet and window. But It must be easy to built and move. Every mongolians was a nomads before. Ger is not normal thing and yurt. It is safe for many disasters. It is made for natural materials very healthy for people. All things easy to get. But I cant imagine window and toilet it can be safety for flood, an earthquake. And Ger made by felt. Felt is shrinking when it is cold outside also felt is stretching when it is hot outside. And Ger has many amazing details inside there. Maybe it will be long story if I find every amazing thing about ger.

I fell in love with Yurts back in 2007 in Kaslo B.C. Living in the round is awesome, not so confining as four walls. The ones in Kaslo had plumbing and electricity. They weren't winterized, however, that wouldn't be hard to do. I came away from there with a similar idea to add on a ablutions/laundry yurt, and one for a studio to work in. Maybe some day before it's too late I'll realize my dream of living in the round.
What a great little yurt! Your videos are always so inspiring and interesting. I also really enjoyed hearing your input on what changes you might make if you guys were to live there. I know whatever housing situation you guys eventually end up in will be amazing!!
I've always loved yurts, for all the reasons you mention -- I'm so pleased whenever you make a video about them! I especially love the fact that they're portable and affordable, the main issue is zoning in many areas (often a problem when it comes to non-standard homes, unfortunately).
Nice yurt. Excellent editing. Very observant and useful comments. Over the long term, yours is one of my TOP 10 TH-cam channels. You are doing a great service to us who love simple living and always look for inspiration. Thank you very much.
You two are SUCH a beautiful couple. Love your chill, laid-back personalities. Been a subscriber for months now just wanted to say hey! Really enjoy your content.
That looks so nice and cozy...and I like how you said ways that you would alter the yurt to suit your personal tastes if you lived in one permanently...I could see my cat and I being quite happy in one of those...I agree with you I would put a smaller yurt on the side for a bathroom...great video,thanks for sharing it :)
My grandparents had a wood stove exactly like that one, it gets super hot. We, sometimes had to open windows, even when snow was on the ground (in rural Oregon). That's a nice way to set up.
Was taking a train ride via youtube through an area with a lot of Yurt's, I anxiously watched for an open one, and finally found one...surprised by two beds across from each other in the center!! but I guess two guys taking care of cattle!! It looked really nice inside seams like a stove in the middle too!! and beds on either side of it! Thanks for the tour, I've waited a long time!!!!
This is the first time ive ever seen a toilette inside of a ger. I just cant imagine doing the job inside of it hmm. going outside for toilette during winter is really nice, you have fresh air and stuff.
it is -46C today where this yurt was built. Why would anyone want to go outside... especially at night, in the dark and freezing cold... when you can have a simple composting system? All they had there is a bucket with a seat on it. There was no plumbing. I am also guessing you are male... a lot less uncomfortable to pee in the cold when you don't need to get exposed to do so
You are actually right, Mongolians would not consider doing this in the ger! Just an adaptation to most wetsern ways... and this Humanure composting system is amazing!
I like the way you tour us, pros and cons are fine ways to explain the whole funktion, thanks - you are getting better, more natural, in front of camera. Looking forward to see more videos :)
Yes, but then there is moving to think of; unless they can be broken down, they are pretty bulky and heavy. I think I'd go for a suspended shelf with a hanging rail beneath or even a simple clothes rack, and a curtain or 'slipcover' to protect clothes from dust. There are flat pack kits for cloth-covered wardrobes, too, like these: www.amazon.co.uk/Songmics-Wardrobe-Clothes-Cupboard-Hanging/dp/B012N0N88K
If you're trying to save the heat lost by the windows, just use an isolation translucid material and double the layers separated by a space with air. Same as floor...
Something else you might consider is that Sod bricks (like from Ireland) Burns Longer & Hotter & may be an Option starting out & to get you through the Night!! Glad to see this & the way that one is may work in SW Texas where it gets Cold for us & pretty much only from mid-end of Dec (possibly Jan) to around March/early-mid April (@ the most).
I absolutely love that yurt and your idea for a possible extra attached bathroom, is commendable. I just subbed, because I'm an Ontarian, as well. 🇨🇦Thanx 4 sharing.
Hi Matt and Danielle!! Really enjoyed this video, and ha e watched a lot of your. Keeps. You both have good insight into the pros and cons of yurt building and living! Mahalos!! :-)
*** add Solar panels & radiant heating floor on solar even when you have foam insulation in the floor. Certainly install additional insulation foam and foil wrap entire walls & ceiling. Perhaps add above office loft and guests beds. I highly recommend rocket stove for fire place. Thank you for sharing.
An eco fan would be a way to circulate the heat. A dryer vent hose to the toilet, going outside, would help with odors. You should also check out a gravity light, and making a portable washing machine. Great video!
Hi Guys! I love your videos and watch it closely always. It was awesome to watch this video... since I am from Mongolia where we live in yurts in fours seasons...it was kind of awesome to see huge window walls albeit not sure if my ancestors will agree with it. If you ever decide to go to Mongolia let me know and there you will see real yurt and we live there. Definitely it was exciting to see yurt on your channel! As always keep up great job!
You can add several solar panels in the form of a roof above the entrance, supported on a simple frame and two pillars. This will allow you to get power without changing the yurt structure.
Do that! Here in Russia some companies build yourts! And people live in them. Ok, it is in the beginning, while they are building houses. But yurt will be later as a guest house or something... sauna for example.
Saw my 1st Yurt in Last Whole Earth Catalog or my Shelter book. Loved em ever since. Living in a round house appeals to me since my 1st stay in a Sioux tipi and yeah a tipi ain't round but neither is a box or rectangle. The yuge bank of tall windows don't appeal to me, 2/3glass is more 2 my liking. Yours is perfect for 1 or 2 people. Very skoocum rig y'all have. Instant sub.
Excellent review thank you! I've seen yurts in Bashkortostan, Russia and noted the bright colours. Our scout group (UK) purchased a yurt tent from Germany many years ago: we though about trying to sleep in it but the central campfire didn't vent through the top too well and we ha d difficulty not only seeing each other but also breathing!😀
Absolutely more insulation and a way to insulate those windows would be in my re-do. I too would go for a better wood stove, maybe surrounded with dense stone as a heat sink and counter. The bathroom would get more attention and be moved a bit farther from the bed. I might try to build a covered porch/air lock for better energy efficiency. Texas
Fantastic setup, thanks for sharing. Here in New Zealand on the west coast of the south island an article in our local paper just recently showed a young woman who designed a portable yurt on a trailer, I have checked out their facebook page "Journey Yurts" and it's a really cool setup worth a look! Cheers Mike
VERY CLEVER INFO !! Try it, rent it, BEFORE YOU Build or buy ANY ALTERNATIVE HOME. not everything will suit everyone & all of your needs. the same goes for Van builds & Motorhomes / RV's. etc. rent one for a few days to try it. Then build yours to suit your needs.
You can create a sealed/closed composting heating system so that it produces heat for upto 4 months.Instead of white tarp on the outside, use a black tarp and black insulated curtains if the windows are facing south so you can use solar thermal heating during the day. The composting system would heat well at night.
Mongolians are using sheepskin clothing. It's a bit cold in winter time but if you use those leather you won't feel cold that much. Here in eastern Europe shepherds get few hours sleep outside in mid winter with just few leathers on. Congratulations anyway for decision and thanks for sharing
I can’t remember-do you have a video that details your other top choices for a potential future home? I’d love to see that. You guys have opened my eyes to so many different options that I hadn’t known about, and I like that there’s a channel that talks about how these alternative homes could work in Canadian winters. I mean, sure, it’s amazing to see how someone can live in a treehouse in a rainforest, but that’s not exactly practical information for a Saskatchewan girl, you know? Haha.
Thanks so much Stacey!! I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying the Canadian content. And yes, great idea! We should make a video talking about our top choices for alternative housing options......coming soon :)

Thats it, they've turned the yurt into a swedish tourist cottage, i think its disrespectfull to what a yurt is🐺🤘
Rich people living in what should be for the homeless and the poor.
These windows make it look, well, expensive...
Interesting yurt, doesn’t feel claustrophobic like a tiny house, and it’s so uniquely beautiful.

Earthen floor with radiant heat is the way to go here. Small woodstove can easily heat 1000sqf with copper tubbing coiling stovepipe. Great video.
Door has a pull down flap for privacy, but has an entire wall of floor to "ceiling" windows 🤷😆 Very cool yurt. They are always fascinating.

The round shape makes the difference in everything. Nice video, beautiful yurt!
Outstanding tour we just had our first yurt experience. We posted the video last week.
Самая лучшая юрта, дизайн продумка всего отличная....а главное чистенько..продумано все до мелочей...

I love the yurts and tipis ,they are a minimalist design and life style
Thanks for showing. Older armoires etc can serve as closets.

that's nice you stayed a few nights in a yurt tent.
hope the move into the yurt works out for your
All house in one roof. . Lovely. . Very good.
Lovely. I reckon an extra thick layer of wool insulation plus a pellet stove is all the extras you’d need for long term living.
Something else you might consider is that Sod bricks (like from Ireland) Burns Longer & Hotter & may be an Option starting out & to get you through the Night!! Glad to see this & the way that one is may work in SW Texas where it gets Cold for us & pretty much only from mid-end of Dec (possibly Jan) to around March/early-mid April (@ the most).

Mate was in my Mongol family's ger - 25 degrees Celsius in a T- shirt, a ger properly set up is incredibly warm.
Living in that Yurt all year around would drive me nuts!!!

Great ppl. Lovely yurt. Thank you for sharing your experience.
I have always loved yurts. The only think of one improvement and that would be a rocket stove instead of the wood burning stove.

Like an add on a small bathroom yurt(use compost toilet and a rain catch system for water), you could also add a small yurt kitchen yurt......
Excellent...wish I could live simply like this...
I really Love it when you do yurt or Tipi Videos!!!
You two are endearing and amazing. Thank you.
You can add several solar panels in the form of a roof above the entrance, supported on a simple frame and two pillars. This will allow you to get power without changing the yurt structure.
I have never seen a cozy looking yurt interior, including this one. Space could be divided w screens but never is. Maybe some don't mind this.
i stayed in traditional yurt at inner mongolia when i was young. it's nothing like this. definitely on the list of places I want to go.
I thought the yurt was so cool . Pretty spacious even for two people . I live in New York City so that kinda tells you . Peace great video .
Rocket mass heater may help solve the heat issue. Can be broken down as well. Not easy, but give an option.
Or a pelletstove... If you can find a water jacketed one you can even have heat in a seperate room very easy and some hot water...
I need to do a yurt!! im 23 and about to move out and need to make a decision. thanks EA
Do that! Here in Russia some companies build yourts! And people live in them. Ok, it is in the beginning, while they are building houses. But yurt will be later as a guest house or something... sauna for example.
Be ready the city is going to go after u for a permit
M you make games?
M great idea
I have a home and I envy this way of living lol
Glad to meet you
Hope to have a new experience

@9:30 Danielle is reading book, can you share the title?
Thank you for this project
ENJOYED THE VIDEO. THANK YOU FOR THE TOUR.
Fantastic,windows really make it
Very nice, thanks for sharing. I now have an idea of what's what when it comes to living in a yurt.
For that bathroom, I was thinking a curtain would be really translucent, a changing screen might work better (and you can paint it).
Amazing! If one can one should! 🤗🤗🤗
That door let to much cold hair in when you open the door. It needs a small little room before you get in.

Its really very amazing and looks very beautiful and attractive
Really want to spending some time in this yurt
Once again I really appreciate you.
I would love to live in a yurt. If I don't convert a bus into a home, I'd like one of these.
Great job you two
I CAN'T HANDLE THE COZINESS.
Nice yurt from Mongolia 🔥❤👍💕
I stayed in one while in Girl Scouts , I love yurts....I’ve also camped In tepees..
Thank you for this VERY helpful video!
I agree thats the cheepest and most in efficient woodstove you can buy
So if the outside covering isn't completely waterproof what happens when the monsoon comes?
wifi & satellite tv i am sold lol , great structure
Its just beautiful and much better than homes in India..Regards frm India
