Nomadic tiny home: Mongolian yurt moves in 1 day, DIY-style
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- Boyan is a modern nomad; he was born in Bulgaria, is a resident of the Netherlands has lived in the UK, Ireland, India, Israel, Palestine, and Brazil (he has many jobs, including solar panel installer, professional street artist). So when he began working for a friend's yurt company, helping set up Mongolian Gers, he fell in love with the lifestyle and soon bought his own traditional mobile home.
It's been almost a year since he and his partner moved into their 21 square meter ger (the Mongolian term for "home") and they love its simplicity and the freedom it affords them to move with the seasons (or jobs). They've moved twice and the entire process- dis-assembling and re-assembling in a new location- took a day and could be done entirely without tools or professional skills. One of Boyan's friends jokes it's an "IKEA house".
The couple spent the fall on a long-term campsite (with a couple other yurts and a few tipi-style tents) in the Netherlands, but when the site closed for the winter, they moved to the property of a farmer friend. Living in a small, mobile shelter means keeping your possessions to a minimum, something Boyan cultivates.

If I had a yurt I'd want one with a camoflague cover so it blends into the environment.
This thing is like the TARDIS. It is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. How cool. A hyper dimensional shelter.
Just lacking a cow, sheep, chickens and a veggie patch and you'd be all set up nicely. Great video got me soooooooooooooo excited.
Gers are so awesome. That's great that I now know the correct word for a "yurt".
I'm really happy that people choosing to live this way. Dear santa...
Nice folks, nice yurt, nice work!
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 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.
Amazing! I want to live like this, very inexpensive and easy to move!
Aha!!!! PEACE..... Complete PEACE. Thank you as always for sharing.
Too much time on my hands. NOT ENOUGH YURT VIDEOS
Check out my channel for yurt vids!
Freedom, a beautiful home, and a beautiful lady to share them with. You have a good life, Boyan.
Living simple and small has give you wisdom. Those were words from a wise man.
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!
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."
What a wonderful film. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us your beautiful home and way of life.
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.)
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".
this thing looks bad ass i didnt expect it to look so comfy on the inside. something i wouldnt mind calling home.
Oh how i enjoyed this lovely video i am a senior but i think i could handle. the set up BEAUTIFUL Video
The best video I have seen on erecting a ger/ yurt so far. Thank you
I really like all the wood slats making up the walls and roof. Very cozy little home.
I DO LOVE THIS... AWESOME AND SIMPLY HOW ONE CAN LIVE WITHOUT CLUTTER AND MESS. MUST BE VERY SERENE..
Köszönöm drága Marikám!Puszillak!:)
Good question. I forgot to mention that. He said the yurt they live in cost 5,000 euros.
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...
Awesome home u have wow keep it up
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
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.
teresa pannells i'm lisa from yurt factory in china,if you have interest,please contact me,my email is:lisa.chinacanvas@gmail.com,i can show you our yurt project in all of the world.with high quality and low price,you will like it
OMG!!! I subed 1 year ago and did not even imagine about my own traditional GER would show up here!!! Thank you Kirsten

+Michelle Jacobs Well said. Definatley makes me think
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.
Wow beautiful and the yurt is nice too. ;)
This was beautiful and inspiring...simply, thank you. :)
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 )
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 . ☺️
Very cool. Great video thanks for sharing!
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.
leuke film Boyan
Nice film, wish we could build this fast everytime we put up a Ger
I love Yurts.
quietly inspirational..
Wonderful view of this style of living. Thank you for sharing it!
thanks for sharing your life candidly :)
Very nicely done video
Looks cozy
god bless the two of you..I like your wonderful lifestyle to live closer to nature.peace and live from Carole Anne huft from Beulah Michigan
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.
yahoo we are back at the camping by the little lake;o) Boyan
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
I love your videos. Just wanted to say that.
Great video! Thanks for posting!
Fantastic, I've been wondering how to get shelves up in my yurt, you gave me an idea! Thank you.
Amazing.
thank you! Congratulations for videos, great channel, very good job.
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!
love it! all the space i would need for my pets and I :)
I wonder how cold that bathroom is? Still beautiful though, they are living the dream!
Looks good I live on a boat and that's even better.
Yurts are excellent, keep them away from trees although, falling timber or limbs can be hazardous.
I agree with your last words so true
Thank you!
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.
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.
cool great film ...........
Awesome...sooooo inspiring!
It's my dream to live in a yurt!
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.
Love them too... so interesting and inspiring! I subscribed. Gracias, amiga!
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.
cool I like it simple life
fdggg fgfg
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. ...
...and falling stars?
enjoy them;o)
nice video bro! live long life....cheers to booth of you..
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.
In central asia Mongols, Kirgizs, Kazakhs at least 5-8 million people in this gers living fine living greenish ways.
Nice
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.
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.
Guys Yurts are more simple and they don't have doors and it is triangle made out of animal skin but a ger has much more inside.
Humm can't fit my machnine shop in that. But it sure looks well built and cared for.
I've seen the same ones here in Sweden for 2500 euros, and that inlcudes the floor and a simpler woodstove.
Nice :-)
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
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
Dogs and Cats living together; mass hysteria.
If it was in a world where you can't use the van as transportation for travel, it'd be wise to convert the bed to be doubled as a cart to pull everything with.
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.
Thx
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.
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.
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....
You could buy some land and live in one of these until u got some money or time to build a home on it. Very wesome.
actually, yurts resist wind really well
Is that a windy smithy woodstove? The design looks familiar!
This only works if you have someone who shares a similar perspective on accumulating things and wants to divest as well.
yes
If you need Mongolian gers for summer and winter, please let me know. We will help you to buy
wow, би монгол гэрээрээ бахархаж байна, нэг онцлог нь гал тогоо нь \ kitchen, kitchenware\ эсрэг талдаа байрладаг, хаалгаар ороход л баруун гар талдаа.
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?
What about lightning storms?
no bills! how great is this.
why people need a big space which they dont really need and tons bills!
live in one of those you've seen and than in one like this on the film and than you'll know the difference,just like buying a car half price...
