I lived in a 12ft yurt year round in a wood in England for 5 years. Small wood stove, walls and roof insulated with 3 inches of wool batts. I made a clear pvc curtain over the wooden door to let in the sunshine in winter. Lovely space. Insulation is key for winter, makes it like a sauna!
@@DaedalusDesign The outer cover was 12oz canvas and the insulation was about 4” of spun sheeps’ wool building insulation. I didn’t make that cover but I sewed others for yurts I built to sell, out of rot proof polycotton canvas. It’s not too hard with a tough sewing machine and enough space to work.
Can you live in it for 6 yrs? Of course..you can live in any shelter as long as it keeps the elements off you, and you can keep it warm in the winter. People have been living in yurts for centuries over in areas like Mongolia. It may not be the ultimate luxurious accommodation, but you can definitely live in it if you had to.
I seriously considered a yurt, but the wife wouldn't let me... now the ex-wife has no say, but I can no longer afford it because I have an ex-wife... damned if I do, damned because I didn't. just damned.
honestly its like asking, could you live in a 1 room log cabin for 6 years... The truth is, some people actually buy and live in yurts year round, decking them out with full kitchens with fridge, sleeping loft, bathroom with shower, everything...
I remember how much you loved the yurt when you first got it, l love your funky first videos your so real and totally owesome, thanks for all the videos and information
Pretty sweet setup for a basic yurt! I used to sell yurts, tents, and tipis for Colorado Yurt Company - I can attest to the strengths of the yurt structure for snowy and windy climates.
Nice Yurt. I watch a couple channels where folks live in the large yurts. Very cool. I like the energy of the Yurt. You have a nice set up in and out of your Yurt. 👍😺💖
Any videos you put out about your yurt just really make me yearn for a bit of property so I can join the club. Everything about the setup/outdoor lifestyle screams "this is your next step, Pmac!" Thanks for the inspiration.
We have a family of 6. We go camping for a week or more at a time and we take a 10ft x 10ft tent. If we had 13ft for 2 people we would be spoiled rotten lol
I have been living in a tent for six months through the winter in England in temperatures down to -5 C it has been tough but my bank balance is looking good. I am now building a steal the cabin I think it is a much better option for staying at the same location. I am looking forward to solid walls again.
Don't own one, but some of my friends do and I have helped them set up. Very roomy, sturdy, with good headroom. Depending on your framework and covering they can be not too bad labor-wise if you have a little help. For sure, as a rule NOT for backpackers. I have a 14X14' Marquis from Panther Pavilions and the yurt guys will get up a similar sized unit in about the same time, maybe less.
Yeah, of course. But bruh, in six years- could build a hotel with a hot tub, right? I totally get where you're going with this though. You make a sound point of minimalism, conservatism and mobility. Great SHTF/ bug-out idea.
sweet.. I like that yurt, that thing is awesome, thanks for sharing, little question for ya and I'm sure you have been asked about this before and have answered this before as well, but curious on how you come up with your channel name Coalcracker? it fits very well for your channel, very cool. Thanks
No , really, ,, were you ever that young??? Funny thing about Birthdays,,, the more you have,, the older you get...🤓😲😲😲😢 Keep up the good work. And thanks for sharing your videos.
Thanks Dan, that Yurt is the Cats Butt. I could kick back in that no problem. You take care. Have a drink for Kevin, Mega Woodswalker, « The Walker « May he Rest In Peace.
I also love the idea and would love to try it in Maine, some where not sure but definitely a wood lot or near a pond in Maine. How do you deal with critters, bears?
Yes, if IT was shaped like a dome, constructed of AIRCRETE, had Wisners' Rocket Mass Heater builtin,... and was sealed with sodium silicate.... surely.
I enjoyed watching this video, even subscribed too. Wondering if using Boiled Linseed Oil on the Yurt would make it more waterproof and last longer too? Just curious as I am no expert at all.
How do you find areas where a small lot can be rented? Paying for a camping space, and setting up a yurt would be good living. How to start hunting, please...
I've been debating getting one of these to go on a new camp on our land. Any word on when more knives will be available? Thanks a bunch for the video Dan.
Two questions Dan, what is the material the walls and roof are made of? Does the paint speed up or slow down deterioration? And how in heck fire did you get that anvil out there? Alright that's three questions but...
Dan my life is not complete, I need a Dan Wowak autographed "Y" branch ! I will pay for the postage. Please! (See now you forced me to beg) Thank you for the fine videos. Sam Adler
google is your friend, my friend... a company I considered back in the day was Pacific Yurts out of Oregon, expensive, but you get what you pay for when it comes to yurts (or anything for that matter). I know they have had yurts set up for 20+ years, so longevity is a thing to consider (and no, I don't get referrals, unfortunately)
What about mold?... Hot inside, Cold outside, Rain, Etc... Just curious as I've seen instances where people had to move out of their Yurt for this very reason.

Did you make the skin of it yourself? Curious if that's a reasonable thing to attempt. Sticker shock after seeing some of the prefab ones.

Super post. And the music at the beginning was slammin’.
Yes sir👍 Yurts rock
I know several people back home in New Mexico that raised their families in Yurts and still live in them almost 30 years later
That was very nice. Very home feeling to it. No wonder nomads use them.
Gazillions of Mongolians can't be wrong.
Very nice to see the whole set up. Thanks for the tour!
I built a 20’ yurt from scratch and insulated it. It was an awesome living space. Heated it with a oil boat stove.
Dan, "This is my rifle, there are many like it but this one is mine". Really enjoyed that and your videos.

Keep evolving man. Homeless here. Want a yurt, a dog and some dirt. Lol
Amazing work, my friend
I have learned a lot from you
Thanks for sharing your skill and knowledge👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers Dan, grand tour man.
Love this video!
The setup of a kinda permanent camp that works is good to see!
Any videos you put out about your yurt just really make me yearn for a bit of property so I can join the club. Everything about the setup/outdoor lifestyle screams "this is your next step, Pmac!" Thanks for the inspiration.
😄Your videos are better quality now but the older videos are still very informative 👌🏻Good channel
Sweet setup, Dan. We stay at a yurt in Tuscarora for a week ,every year . it is a permenent setup . but still a yurt .lol love it.
Sweet setup! Beats liv'n in a cabin tent!
Very good presentation thanks!!
This has been one of my favorite videos!
Great long term option for shelter

Thank you, it's always great to see videos about yurts :) We also plan and manufacture mobile yurts suitable for winter.

Keep doing your thing, man. Really enjoying your vids. Greetings from the UK!

Great video. Nice work.
Lmao! Yea I’ve noticed you were a little more reserved, or less comfortable in your earlier vids! 😂👍
Still wanna stay in the yurt bro... And your new vids are so much better LOL
Has a center pole? Usually there is a cable around the top of the wall that keeps it standing
Oh nevermind, that's the stove pipe
Bushcraft blacksmithing videos!!!
Yurt, sounds good. Cost to include building the foundation? Texas
Thanks Dan, that Yurt is the Cats Butt. I could kick back in that no problem. You take care. Have a drink for Kevin, Mega Woodswalker, « The Walker « May he Rest In Peace.
For a more authentic feel, use manure to heat that yurt.
I would call it a home for years.
How much did it run you? Back then? Sure it's a bit more now.
I also love the idea and would love to try it in Maine, some where not sure but definitely a wood lot or near a pond in Maine. How do you deal with critters, bears?
Yes, if IT was shaped like a dome, constructed of AIRCRETE, had Wisners' Rocket Mass Heater builtin,... and was sealed with sodium silicate.... surely.

Do you have any issues with mold? People say that for this kind of climate, yurt is a no-go because it will rot.
Any ideas where a yurt similar to yours can be purchased?

goofle may not be our friend, ,, but the internet still works,,, well,,, sort of....?
Trying to convince my wife to move us and the 2 boys in a yurt. I don't think it happen. She told to f off. May just take some time.
Sorry but that is funny
These are not sold anymore???
Is that Appalashun Woodman School?
You're all out of the knife options I would like to buy?
I would like 2 c a up close of how u made yr saw hourse&blacksmith
👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸
What do you think about the yurt that Walmart sales is it worth the money
What kind of floor??? Where do you take a bath and where is the toilet???
Didn't you see the bushes out back? That's where the toilet is
What part of the Appalachians is this guy in?
God Bless everyone!!!! Jesus Loves you all very much!!!!
yo were your school out of ????????????????????iam in weissport pa how far away are you
You ever get hurt in the yurt?
if it works in one of the most hostile places on the planets for 100s of years I'm sure any other environment will be fine
NEED ME A YURT ASAP

You are right about the first videos they suck LOL.
