I’m in a 34’ yurt in Alaska right now. We saw about 3 solid weeks of -20f or worse this past winter. Our main heat source is a pellet stove with an oil burning toyotomi monitor. My tips- insulate the floor very well, seal off the bottom of outside walls and skirt the foundation if possible
Greetings from Mongolia happy that you are living in Mongolian invention with fine tuned American thinking upgraded new yurt! This is the coolest greenest life style! :D
Nairuulagch I might be out on a limb here, but aren't yurts supposed to be portable? That thing looks like a house shaped like a yurt... complete with floor heating..
True a yurt supposed to be mobile. But in this time many different cultural people are trying newer better housing solutions and adopting yurt and transforming it into their own lifestyle. So non mobile yurt shaped wooden or plasticky housing is totally fine as far as newer adopter is satisfied.
it's the one thing that's needed as a pet cuz (Living off the grid w/ Jake and Nicole) youtubers got a BEAR in there YURT. So they bought a few dogs and that helped.
@@cheshire_skatkat9093nah. Some rich fucks are just gonna invest into yurts, if there is a trend forming, after which you wont be able to buy one for below 300.000k. Just like they did with all other living alternatives, like tiny homes, van life, houseboats, etc.
love this girl, love her presentation....i'm even more excited than before to live in one...had subzero temp days...almost 2-3 weeks this winter...ready for the next step this spring after living in our flood home for 3 years...time to get busy...
It looks like there are some great options for pre-fab yurts. The one you have is very nice. How did your permitting process go to assemble this yurt on your land? Were there any raised eyebrows in the permitting office? Did they refuse you?
Please make more videos! As someone who would love to design, make and build their own home, yurts are high on my list. Went to your website and love all the options. Crossing my fingers that the building codes in my area will be in my favor when the time comes.
Oh wow, I just had a word with Hayes Daniel today and he told me about this video, so glad I watched it and I'm so happy for the both of you, well my 40ft. is next my friend.
😍 Love it. 👍Ya'll got me thinking...downsize, minimize & off grid...a main yurt & attach a tiny yurt for a compost toilet & shower area on some land some where to use as my home base when I'm not traveling. Yepper, yes sir....that'll work! 😃
I hope you guys continue with this series. I really like it. I really REALLY want a yurt home. I have two children and I'm trying to convince my fiancé and help him to see the charm and appeal of it. I think I'd ask a yurt dweller how they keep their yurt cool in the summer... also what things do they wish they'd known before moving into their yurt. Again, great series. I hope you'll hear from me one day soon about purchasing a yurt!
I also want to know how to keep the yurt cool. We will be in Arizona. If you are able to opt for the glass windows I guess you could use a portable air conditioner that vents out the window.
Hi! Yes you can absolutely add in an air conditioning unit! The insulation will then also work to your favor to hold in that cold temp. If you are off grid just be sure to have plenty of doors and/or windows to get airflow. You can also get tinted dome with an opener to keep airflow up and out the dome.
Shelter Designs Yurts ... Hi, I'm wondering about insulation, and what's Standard? I'm curious as to square footages? Thanks, so Much - Anita Kuhnhenn..
1:35 .. I mean, you wouldn't necessarily need to build a circular floor, would you? A circle does fit on a square just fine as long as its the same or greater width as said circle.
A yurt you remove top cover and use has its base. With the yurt popping up and locking into place from inside using aluminum and joints. Very light weight and very easy to use. These could be designed to folded in half or even in sections depending on the size of the yurt. Like putting pizza slices together and connecting them to form a large yurt for easy transport to a site. Hope you liked the brain food Novartis
after all the upgrades with the glass windows and insulated winter package and spending extra on the floor and money spent with a better wood stove that you have hiw much did u spend. Did you build your own deck.
I was wondering how you could stay warm in a yurt!!! I live in the uk and dismissed the idea because we get cold weather not as bad as Montana but we do.
what does it sound like when its raining outside? i heard one person say its hard to even hear yourself think. i live in Az and our monsoons can get brutal and I have 3 kids I would hate to spend all that money and keep them up all night with a rainstorm
What breed of dog was that at the end? That thing is huge?! Having a couple big dogs also adds warmth to a house. We have 3 large dogs and they enough warmth to the bedroom I typically have to open a window.
Example, take strong aluminum latter's and bend them in a bow. Have four aluminum beams they attach to to form the outer wall structure. Do the same for the top dome. Design a stretch cover for the structure that was treated with ever dry and place over structure. Then use cement canvas and make shingles to cover the outer structure. Place windows and doors and secure stretch cover over window frames and doors. Cover with cement canvas shingles. When everything is done just add water and let outer coverings cure. A fire proof yurt design for a wooded area. Please share design with others thank you Novartis.
My family and I are looking at moving to Western Montana or Idaho....we may not get a yurt (4 kids), but we're DEFINITELY getting that DOG BREED....GORGEOUS!
here in New Zealand is quite a damp climate. How would your yurts stand up to lots of constant moisture? (And to add to this, it is not very well recommended to build straw bale houses here because of the constant moisture).
I have to check to see what kind of wood stove you got because the one I got every 3 hours I'm putting a log in it it's driving me crazy I wake up every morning freezing I only paid 300 for it so maybe that's why
This is what I want to do, but i will be framing the walls with 2x4's and they will be 14' high! Im not really set on the fabric but i havn't really heard of how long they actually last!
I want to live offgrid. When I talk about Yurt living I of course get ??looks??. Saving for it is going to take me awhile. I had 9k but Life happens back down to 7.5k. The trick now seems to be land. Where could one find affordable land with a water source and still be within reason to civilization if need be? I have lived in efficiency apartments all my adult life so Yurts would actually be an upgrade.
You can find cheap land all around in rural places, I have friends that bought land in Michigan for about $1,200 an acre for 15 acres. I'm looking at buying land in Vermont and I've seen stuff for about $2,000 an acre, you'll find good deals where no one else wants to live (which can be ideal) steep slopes, and poor soil for industrial agriculture also bring the value down. Try to find places with lax regulations, that's one of the reasons I'm looking at Vermont
This is what I think of when I think of living in a yurt. However, it would be nice to throw in solar panels and internet ;) an indoors bathroom would also be a pleasure. We cannot forget a 60" t.v. lol. Can't forget the fridge/freezer and portable air conditioning. This stuff needs electricity haha. Seriously.. that is what I want.. It's all money dependant. If it cost me too much money it would not be worth it.. could just buy a double wide.. but where I live it's more practical.. if I was out in the middle of nowhere I would definitely do the yurt.. haha
My neighbor said it best. You get 4x the heat from wood. Once when you cut it, once when you split it, once when you stack it and once when you burn it. I heated with wood for 4 years. It is all around better to just heat with gas or propane.
It sure seems cheaper than a mortgage. Depending on the size of the yurt and how many upgrades you get, I imagine it would pay for itself after about three years or so not including the land plus I love being outside so there's another reason to do it.
Wow. I love those yurts and those dogs! Off topic question: Do you know who their breeder is? I may also be moving to Costa Rica and would like a yurt that can stand up to moisture and potential HIGH winds. Have you got something in your line of yurts that can handle the tropics? THANKS!!!
At the least, you would need a whole different design/materials. Not sure with AC combined with Florida humidity that could prevent mold problem. Good question....
Hello there, I’m from North Dakota, our native Americans here lived in houses called earth lodges. They were round, dwellings, with a hole in the top for the fire smoke to leave the dwelling. The roof was covered with earth. They were very warm in the winter, and very cool in the summer. Natural air conditioning. I’ve toured one in The summer. These yurts remind me of the earth lodges. So I’m guessing they have that natural air conditioning built in, the heat goes out the top, the insulation keeps it cool. She’s in a wooded area, in the mountains, so lots of shade too.
I’m in a 34’ yurt in Alaska right now. We saw about 3 solid weeks of -20f or worse this past winter. Our main heat source is a pellet stove with an oil burning toyotomi monitor.
My tips- insulate the floor very well, seal off the bottom of outside walls and skirt the foundation if possible
Greetings from Mongolia happy that you are living in Mongolian invention with fine tuned American thinking upgraded new yurt! This is the coolest greenest life style! :D
Nairuulagch plus I know you are Mongolian too because I just saw your name it says nairuulagch! Na whatever
I am german who speaks some Mongolian! There is no law prohibits that a german cannot speak and think as a Mongolian! Cheers!
Nairuulagch I might be out on a limb here, but aren't yurts supposed to be portable? That thing looks like a house shaped like a yurt... complete with floor heating..

Nairuulagch a yurt is Turkic. Mongolian tent (although the same kind of tent) is called a ger I think.
so, does the pet wolf come with the package as well?
it's the one thing that's needed as a pet cuz (Living off the grid w/ Jake and Nicole) youtubers got a BEAR in there YURT. So they bought a few dogs and that helped.
As the cost of living keeps increasing Yurts are looking more like reality for Americans. Good video!
This comment aged like wine unfortunately.
@@jaronloar1762 Sure did.
Government will make it illegal to be off grid.

@@jaronloar1762yes it did
Cool Yurt, and she has a great personality!
Love this video! This is the best advise I've heard concerning yurts. Quick, easy and to the point.
That was one of the absolute cutest presentations ever.
Kudos. Love the yurt.
Lodge Pole Pine!!! Awesome.
Very cool
Built our yurt today! Got them from Pacific Yurt. It’s amazing.
love this girl, love her presentation....i'm even more excited than before to live in one...had subzero temp days...almost 2-3 weeks this winter...ready for the next step this spring after living in our flood home for 3 years...time to get busy...
Nice ...... and warm
She's a great host! Quirky and fun to watch. Well done.
Hot shape, too.
She is SO full of herself!
What a great video! Lots of information and presented in a way that was really fun to watch.
Now I want to live in a yurt!!! I'm also looking into Asian Eco homes...
I remember watching them build on the show "Building off the grid". It's nice to see how it looks after they've been living in it.
Beautiful,but is there a problem with mould in yurts?
They have the coolest yurt. 😊
3:33 - I think I saw that dog in an early '80's John Landis flick.

This week on Yurts!
Was this yurt on a show called 'building off the grid'? Looks like a super place, and those doggies are impressive!
Awesome!
Love the dog !!! Looks very much like my Mercy-Dog !! :-) Oh, love the yurt also.
This yurt my feelings.
Please tell me yurt kidding.
Oh wow, I just had a word with Hayes Daniel today and he told me about this video, so glad I watched it and I'm so happy for the both of you, well my 40ft. is next my friend.
Beautiful Dog. What kind is it? Such an unusual color.. And the video is really helpful too!
😍 Love it. 👍Ya'll got me thinking...downsize, minimize & off grid...a main yurt & attach a tiny yurt for a compost toilet & shower area on some land some where to use as my home base when I'm not traveling. Yepper, yes sir....that'll work! 😃
I want one! I love that the pricing is better, and the eco model with lodgepole pines.

tpeach me too! Well only little one on the way, but I'm trying to convince my boyfriend too
1:35 .. I mean, you wouldn't necessarily need to build a circular floor, would you? A circle does fit on a square just fine as long as its the same or greater width as said circle.
How many times a week do you have to clean out the ashes, and how often do you clean out the entire stove?
That’s pretty cool

This is such a great show and I must say I am loving your gorgeous dogs! :-)
Will you tell me the name of that stove? I couldn't quite hear you in the video. Thank you!!
after all the upgrades with the glass windows and insulated winter package and spending extra on the floor and money spent with a better wood stove that you have hiw much did u spend. Did you build your own deck.
I want a tour of that yurt!
And is it possible to put 2 yurts side by side with a hallway between them for a larger family?
yes
You don't watch TV, right?
@@papuette Do you actually watch tv? How old fashioned
Cute vid....
Awesome home...
You were super entertaining. I don't even care about yurts, but you made it fun and interesting.
Great video but how much did it cost?
I see you had a Eco Fan , their awesome I got my from Tractor supply . cool hut
love those animals
I was wondering how you could stay warm in a yurt!!! I live in the uk and dismissed the idea because we get cold weather not as bad as Montana but we do.
as a central asian this is one of the few yurts i actually like
Great video. You should be their spokesperson, lol. Love the dog, that's a beauty.
Thanks for the info. God bless.
Nice video!
what does it sound like when its raining outside? i heard one person say its hard to even hear yourself think. i live in Az and our monsoons can get brutal and I have 3 kids I would hate to spend all that money and keep them up all night with a rainstorm
Do they have running water for the bathrooms?

Those aren't dogs. They're Forrest Beast Demons.
Wow so beautiful
That dog is HUGE!!!!!! Wow
My family and I are looking at moving to Western Montana or Idaho....we may not get a yurt (4 kids), but we're DEFINITELY getting that DOG BREED....GORGEOUS!
What did you say the wood stove is?i would like to buy one like it.i have a vaulted ceiling in the building I'm building.
This is a BlazeKing Sirocco 30 www.blazeking.com/EN/wood-sirocco30.html
Shelter Designs Yurts thanks and even a link,bless your heart!
What was the cost of the entire hurt finished if you don’t mind sharing. Even if it’s a ballpark?
Just have to say, because of you I enjoyed this video so much😊!
Super
I wonder how it would stand up to tornado alley
:)
I love her vibe. Please do a full video tour if your yurt. #MacDaddy lol
here in New Zealand is quite a damp climate. How would your yurts stand up to lots of constant moisture? (And to add to this, it is not very well recommended to build straw bale houses here because of the constant moisture).
As a skinny Florida boy looking for something to live in the Alaskan Bush with this is pretty helpful
you will freeze boy, need some body fat
Sick pad!
I have to check to see what kind of wood stove you got because the one I got every 3 hours I'm putting a log in it it's driving me crazy I wake up every morning freezing I only paid 300 for it so maybe that's why
What is the arctic insulation made of? We've a small yurt needs insulating and would like to know.
Hi Could you tell me what is your stove brand and model please? cheers
This is what I want to do, but i will be framing the walls with 2x4's and they will be 14' high! Im not really set on the fabric but i havn't really heard of how long they actually last!
Hey guys, nice video. Tell me did you purchase the land and was it difficult to do ?
Thanks
Great sales job by that girl....Make you feel the warmth and cooziness.....drinking the ice tea...too cool!
John Rogan. I think she was drinking a brewski.
love your yurt. how much did it cost you guys?
cool love it
Which insulation you have used in floor and walls..?

I wanted to ask about noise. How noisy it is when it gets windy?
Aye I live in Montana too

not even, the whole thing is your sex not be distracted
I want one
Open space is very nice but why not utiluze point a loft/hammock bedroom?
What kind of dog is that? He's huge!
Hello, I been thinking about living off the grid. I stay in Michigan, where can I go to find an area, to put up a yurt?
My neighbor said it best. You get 4x the heat from wood. Once when you cut it, once when you split it, once when you stack it and once when you burn it. I heated with wood for 4 years. It is all around better to just heat with gas or propane.
NeiI S. Unmotivated ppl would think so. It keeps you firm working wood. And ppl like it. Maybe thats why. Its simple.azzjaK
Do you have condensation issues?
mold will grow if the temp and humidity is just right !
It sure seems cheaper than a mortgage. Depending on the size of the yurt and how many upgrades you get, I imagine it would pay for itself after about three years or so not including the land plus I love being outside so there's another reason to do it.
Is it hard to clean the stove chimney/pipes?
purchased from devlin
the looneys they were living
mahlerts thanksgiving
Ok...your husband and your digs are FREAKING COOL!, Curious: total cost estimate? Love it though! :-)
What type of dog was that at the end?
She's hilarious and a tinnnny bit annoying, but it works in this Yurt. Props to making this a MTV Cribs episode!
Hey, great acting, information etc, enjoyed it!
I know each winter varies but how much wood do you think you go through a year?
If you take copper 1inch tubing around the stove pipe you can have hot water anytime
What kind of dogs are those, they're beautiful!
Shiloh Shepherds ;)
Wow. I love those yurts and those dogs! Off topic question: Do you know who their breeder is? I may also be moving to Costa Rica and would like a yurt that can stand up to moisture and potential HIGH winds. Have you got something in your line of yurts that can handle the tropics? THANKS!!!
Alonnie Rivera how about it, the dogs are what caught my attention.
Those are some epic K9s .
it's actually a dire wolf ;-)
Id love to live in a yurt in a mad max reality. Which if you really think how unstable our world is because its quite plausible
Our world is very stable in reality. Individual spaces maybe not so much
Holly smokes. What type of dogs do you have? They are awesome
Can you stay cool in a Yurt during the summer months in Florida? Will the Yurt be comfortable? Thanks.
At the least, you would need a whole different design/materials. Not sure with AC combined with Florida humidity that could prevent mold problem. Good question....
