i learned so very much from simply watching this young couple take down and put up the yurt. i'll always have a better feel for it thanks to this video.
Like he said not for everybody, include me in that commnet. i would love to live a life with less stuff. But doing this every so many months seems like a pain, I don't care how simple it is. I much rather spend the money on materials and build a cozy tiny house on a trailer, and be able to move without having to do all that work. I do like the fact that people are helping the Nomads spread their way of life, good on them.
That is really cool .. & I do agree that living like that is not for everyone .. But I think I might be one of those people that would enjoy it to much to ever stop doing it once I do it . Like camping!
I also watch your videos...and your journey is also inspiring. I hope to follow suit in the near future...! (If I can only convince my wife...wish me luck.)
I knew Boyan from my student years in Varna in the late 90-ties. He has not changed at all - he has always been so different from most of the people...
This is so cool and your lifestyle is so awesome. I have children about to graduate high school and run off from home now so I will no longer have to keep up with the neighbors in the pursuit of more and more material possessions. I am looking for different shelter ideas that use less instead of more. I love you guys ger/yurt.

Inspector Kitty approved of your new location . I agree it gives you freedom to receive a happier life . Less stress is always a good element in ones life . ☺️
I love it and the whole concept.Buying a home these days is a very expensive proposition and many of us simply do not have the money or inclination to be locked into paying off a 2 or 3 hundred thousand dollar home especially with all the alternative solutions (like the yurt)out there now.All power to you.
Really beautiful way of life. I someday want to do something like that...it is definately a challenge to find places to put something like a yurt....but well worth the result of finding a place. I always look forward to your vids! Cheers!
You can find bits of my lifestyle scattered throughout my videos. My NYC apartment shared with roommates 12 yrs ago (see "Living small in NYC: sharing all but a bedroom"), my first Barcelona apartment shared with my now-husband (see "Our starter apartment: 376 sq ft with tub & laundry") and then with 2 kids our relatively spacious 1000 sq ft Barcelona apartment can be seen in opening credits of my documentary "We the Tiny House People".
well its known and even scientifically proven that living close to the nature can make happier when living in concrete bunkers make peoples sad and aggressive (especially non aware about their minds ones imo, im actually living in big concrete building and its not make me so much sad etc. but takes much energy to not get madness in there. and i have many experiences with living with nature, from many kinds of tents, old homes, even boats and definitely living close to the mother nature make things easier and thoughts lighter )
This is perfect nomadic lifestyle housing traditionally call ed Ger or Gher. Any typical 2-3 nomads would assemble this in 40-50minutes and disassemble within 30 minutes. Traditionally nomads move 4-5 times per year to their specific 4 seasonal living sites. I am happy that the west finally noticed our perfect close/Green living to the mother nature.
I'm so glad I subscribed to your channel. I so see myself living like this in the future. The yurt is a nice alternative to a fixed-structure 'mini-house', too.
A friend worked in Mongolia and shipped a yurt back to his piece of land in Idaho. He reads by big Buddhist candles and a LED headband. I had suggested a Coleman pressured gas lantern (is that really outdated now?) but he told me it interfered with the night noises of his forest.
Will the fabric be damaged by setting it up or taking it down in rain? I imagine that the middle felt could potentially get quite soggy, but will that dry on its own even if you finish setting it up?
love love love this! would love to stay in a proper yurt for a couple of weeks to see if i could really live in one full time. usually the ones for rent/hire dont use the insulation as they make it darker inside. no so authentic if u ask me! love this vid thanks for sharing. wish u could legally live in a yurt in the uk.
I know we have a few people living in them here in Upstate NY, and where I live, we get brutal winters, I think with a stove, you'd be fine, and supposedly they will bear a snow load, but who knows, I'd really like to get one to test it out though here in Oswego NY.
Keyshell they are used in Mongolia....where they have extreme winds and cold winters....according to Wikipedia, most of the country is below freezing temps from November to March....
Yurt - originally from a Turkic word referring to the imprint left in the ground by a moved yurt, and by extension, sometimes a person's homeland, kinsmen, or feudal appanage. The term came to be used in reference to the physical tent-like dwellings only in other languages. In modern Turkish the word "yurt" is used as the synonym of homeland or a dormitory. In Russian the structure is called "yurta" (юрта), whence the word came into English.
You can find a link in the text above.. and also in the text of the original story on faircompanies (all in text). The company is called Nooitmeerhaast-- it means "never hurry" in Dutch.
Hi - I wondered if you have any videos of how you fit all that stuff inside your van? We are considering doing this for a few years and are trying to work out the logistics of travelling with what is needed. Thanks!
my ancestors used to live in these kind of yurts. they are awesome. in turkey, they are made from goats also. and they are black yurts. yurt means land,country or motherland in Turkish also :D
Hey people !! I am mongolian. My relatives are good yurt makers. I sell yurts and can send yurts to almost every part of the world. If there someone who wants to buy yurt I will offer very cheap price . Also I can source other goods to you in Mongolia. My E mail is khuchumergen@yahoo.com. Phone is 976-99273825. ...
When you said you lived with your "partner" I thought you were a same-sex couple. I love you home, though. It's very lovely. I'm sure you feel closer to nature and are growing spiritually. I wish you both well.
I have a technical question.. I have a small, standard yurt ... with a very tough vinal liner which has served me well. I use my yurt as a private, back yard retreat to do my meditation in. It is fine in the summer but to extend the season I am thinking of getting a felt inner wall to help hold in the heat. My concern is this... the yurt is elevated on a deck in the woods .. a lovely setting BUT the rug inside gets musty. I am concerned that a felt wall will also become too musty. Any suggestions? Would clearing some of the tree canopy help? The area in general is high and dry. Faith
2bRealist Yes, I am fortunate to have two windows with Velcro plastic covers... and screens. The good news is .. it is in a grove of Maple trees etc which protects it from the sun's UV rays... the bad news is... it is in the shade of these Maple trees so the humidity stays up. I"m thinking, come spring I might toss a bunch of charcoal brickets under the space. I COULD run a dehumidifier for a while I suppose but that could get pricy on the elec. bill. Does anyone else have a Dampness problem with their yurt? Maybe I'll have to sacrifice one of the trees to find a happy medium.
Barbara Sara Muijlaert Hi Barb. Yea, a woodstove certainly would dry things out. ... but I don't think I would use it enough to keep things dry. For convenience sake I use a small elec. heater to take the chill off as I only use the Yurt from May through Oct and typically for only a few hours a day at that. I had thought of a small dehumidifier since I have an electrical 'umbilical' cord from the main house. I"m just afraid it would run constantly. I'm thinking to clear a few trees out and bring in a bit more sun. I might also try some of those Damp Rid containers Perhaps a bunch of small "Fixes" will help. In the meantime I will continue to look into tiney stoves. Thanks : )
Faith Rada I'm thinking of a solor powered electric vent/fan to vent out air and moister. Should be able to pick up a good kit off of Ebay for less then $40
how far apart are the wooden slats that make the wall frame? 6, 8 , 10 inch on center? what is the board 1/2"x 2" x? I want to know more about the wall frame so I can make one.
I don't see why it wouldn't be legal. Here in Colorado you can actually find those yurts in the state parks and pay to stay in one. They usually have them placed near or with the RV campgrounds.
Hey I am bulgarian too. Actually the bulgarians ancestors comming from the régions of modern days Mongolia that is way we all love the outdoor living. I in Canada and want to know are the yourts résistant to snow accumolations
I'm in Washington state, just south of boarder. We built a Yurt at my parents place as a temp. guest house. It worked great for 2 years. Snow fall wasn't a problem. It had nearly 2 feet of snow on the roof at one point, and i'm sure it could take more. Problem was insulation. Insulation is key up here in the north. One layer of felt is not enough. I would use at least 2 layers plus a radiant block layer. You want to insulate the floor deck as well. You really can not have too much insulation Our Yurt looked crude compared to the small one on this vid, but it was very very practical, and l look foreword to making another at my place... with extra insulation of course.

Not much, if you have your stones hanging in the right places. Above windforce 8 maybe some extra stormlines and stones. Depending on your location. Because of aerodynamic laws a Ger (yurt) is sucked straight up of the ground instead of being blown down like most other tents. Which makes a Ger a breat structure in high winds.

This thing is like the TARDIS. It is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. How cool. A hyper dimensional shelter.
i learned so very much from simply watching this young couple take down and put up the yurt. i'll always have a better feel for it thanks to this video.
If I had a yurt I'd want one with a camoflague cover so it blends into the environment.
What a wonderful film. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us your beautiful home and way of life.
Amazing! I want to live like this, very inexpensive and easy to move!
I think that way of living is fantastic, and that saying goes, we don't own our possesion, out possesions own us, so more power to the both of you.
I really like all the wood slats making up the walls and roof. Very cozy little home.
OMG!!! I subed 1 year ago and did not even imagine about my own traditional GER would show up here!!! Thank you Kirsten
Living simple and small has give you wisdom. Those were words from a wise man.
Like he said not for everybody, include me in that commnet. i would love to live a life with less stuff. But doing this every so many months seems like a pain, I don't care how simple it is.

this thing looks bad ass i didnt expect it to look so comfy on the inside. something i wouldnt mind calling home.
Nice folks, nice yurt, nice work!
Gers are so awesome. That's great that I now know the correct word for a "yurt".
That is really cool .. & I do agree that living like that is not for everyone .. But I think I might be one of those people that would enjoy it to much to ever stop doing it once I do it . Like camping!
Oh how i enjoyed this lovely video i am a senior but i think i could handle. the set up BEAUTIFUL Video
We have also fallen in love with yurts! We have two here in NZ, in the middle of a farm, surrounded by forest. Absolutely love it!
I also watch your videos...and your journey is also inspiring. I hope to follow suit in the near future...! (If I can only convince my wife...wish me luck.)
I DO LOVE THIS... AWESOME AND SIMPLY HOW ONE CAN LIVE WITHOUT CLUTTER AND MESS. MUST BE VERY SERENE..
Köszönöm drága Marikám!Puszillak!:)
The best video I have seen on erecting a ger/ yurt so far. Thank you
I knew Boyan from my student years in Varna in the late 90-ties. He has not changed at all - he has always been so different from most of the people...

thx for all the nice reactions and huge interest in the life of those two fools....we r back in our beautiful spot,xx Boyan
I'm really happy that people choosing to live this way. Dear santa...
You certainly need to be organized in order to live in such a small space "a place for everything, and everything in it's place."

This was beautiful and inspiring...simply, thank you. :)

Wonderful view of this style of living. Thank you for sharing it!
Awesome home u have wow keep it up

thanks for sharing your life candidly :)
leuke film Boyan
Nice film, wish we could build this fast everytime we put up a Ger
Very cool. Great video thanks for sharing!

Fantastic, I've been wondering how to get shelves up in my yurt, you gave me an idea! Thank you.
I love your videos. Just wanted to say that.
Looks cozy
Good question. I forgot to mention that. He said the yurt they live in cost 5,000 euros.
Great video! Thanks for posting!

Very nicely done video
quietly inspirational..
I wonder how cold that bathroom is? Still beautiful though, they are living the dream!
Yurts are excellent, keep them away from trees although, falling timber or limbs can be hazardous.
Beautiful ger, but it wouldn't be complete without that Sri yantra!
Is that not an eternal knot? I believe the Sri yantra is an unfolding design of triangles
yahoo we are back at the camping by the little lake;o) Boyan
Will the fabric be damaged by setting it up or taking it down in rain? I imagine that the middle felt could potentially get quite soggy, but will that dry on its own even if you finish setting it up?
I love Yurts.
love it! all the space i would need for my pets and I :)
pretty damn awesome. shame they have to move it every so often but damn thats a cool place and seems pretty mobile. i want something like that.
Thank you!
It's my dream to live in a yurt!
love love love this! would love to stay in a proper yurt for a couple of weeks to see if i could really live in one full time. usually the ones for rent/hire dont use the insulation as they make it darker inside. no so authentic if u ask me! love this vid thanks for sharing. wish u could legally live in a yurt in the uk.
nice video bro! live long life....cheers to booth of you..
I wonder what you are using for flooring the yurt? PVC? Wool? hmmm I am curious. Greetings from Portugal
I agree with your last words so true
Love them too... so interesting and inspiring! I subscribed. Gracias, amiga!
How does it stand up to extreme weather, like high winds? I imagine it fairs very well against earthquakes.
I know we have a few people living in them here in Upstate NY, and where I live, we get brutal winters, I think with a stove, you'd be fine, and supposedly they will bear a snow load, but who knows, I'd really like to get one to test it out though here in Oswego NY.

Looks good I live on a boat and that's even better.
Amazing.
Awesome...sooooo inspiring!
Too much time on my hands. NOT ENOUGH YURT VIDEOS
Check out my channel for yurt vids!

Very nice home. I would trade my house for a Yurt any day and hope to some day soon.
+Kevin Stewart Thanks for the offer but I think I'll sell the house then buy a Yurt.
cool great film ...........

Inspiring
If you don't mind, what do you do to keep being able to travel and live this way ?
I just keep on travelling and live like this....no too much thinking about it....
With no decking under the yurt floor, do the sides wick the ground moisture up into the insulation and the outer skin?
What about lightning storms?
Humm can't fit my machnine shop in that. But it sure looks well built and cared for.
cool I like it simple life

Waar in nederland staan jullie nu? en mag ik langskomen?
In central asia Mongols, Kirgizs, Kazakhs at least 5-8 million people in this gers living fine living greenish ways.
I see the biggest problem being the ground. It's just a plastic tarpaulin. That will suck the heat out of the room 24/7 in winter.
Not much, if you have your stones hanging in the right places. Above windforce 8 maybe some extra stormlines and stones. Depending on your location.
Because of aerodynamic laws a Ger (yurt) is sucked straight up of the ground instead of being blown down like most other tents. Which makes a Ger a breat structure in high winds.
