Currently popular among alternative and off-grid-seeking folks, a yurt is a modern adaptation of the tent-like structure traditionally used by nomads in Central Asia. Yurts are generally classified as tents, but they are much more durable and can be used as a long-term living space. A yurt is generally equipped with a fabric cover and a tension band stretched over a wood frame; the frame is comprised of a lattice wall, radial rafters, central compression ring and framed doorway. A yurt is compact, structurally-sound, sturdy and low-maintenance.


Modern Yurts

Most modern yurts may be crafted with modern materials that are able to withstand extreme weather conditions, which can account for their functionality as long-tern living spaces. Aside from their increased durability and other practical innovations, modern yurts adhere to the traditional design.

The yurt gained a considerable amount of mainstream recognition in the West when it was introduced in Oregon state parks as a camping facility in 1993. Several other states have since incorporated yurts into their state park camp sites as well.

Yurts – Regional & Functional Variations

In Europe, yurts tend to resemble the traditional form more accurately. Notable similarities include hardwood floors, steeper roofs, and waterproof exteriors–which allow them to withstand severe weather. Some modern yurts even include electricity and plumbing! While these modern yurts are more permanent than others, yurts are in general designed to be dismantled and rebuilt.

Some modern uses for a yurt include offices, art or photography studios, fishing / hunting cabins, classrooms, and meditation spaces and yoga studios. Modern yurts can be purchased in a variety of sizes and prices in order to suit the specific needs of the customer. The standard wall height of a modern yurt is between five and eight feet high, and door size is usually in the range of 30-36 inches wide and 66-84 inches tall.

Higher-end yurts are equipped with features that further enhance their sustainability and functionality as living spaces. For example, some include insulated, tempered, low-E thermal, and/or tempered glass windows. Some yurt companies offer customization or operate on a "build-your-own" system, as most off-grid enthusiasts are prone to having unique interests and needs.

Yurts – Pricing

Price can vary considerably – anywhere from $2,000 to $18,000 retail. Generally speaking, yurts that are lightweight and basic are less expensive than those built with heavy duty canvas and state-of-the-art technology.


Yurts – Resources

While there are many yurt making companies that vary from large commercial operations to small family-owned businesses, some opt to build their own. To do so, there are a few different options. Doing some study is a great place to start, as many books on yurt building have been written since the 1970s (when they first became popular in the United States and other first-world societies). Len Charney’s 1974 Build a Yurt: The Low-Cost Mongolian Round House is an early classic. Other resources include instructional videos on YouTube or Vimeo and online tutorials on how-to websites and also in PDF form.

This Crazy Off Grid Device Literally Makes Drinkable Water From Fresh Air:

According to NASA, the U.S. is expecting a 100-YEAR LONG MEGADROUGHT.

drought-monitor

It's already begun. Ask the farmers in California. They know.

Every survivalist knows that water is of critical importance. You NEED an independent water source that you can count on!

As an interesting "survival rehearsal" - imagine that you turned the tap on right now and nothing came out. How long would you last?

But what if there was another water source literally hidden in plain sight. That's right, I'm talking about the atmosphere!

The amazing thing about getting water from the natural moisture in the air... is that it is ALWAYS available.

This gives you real water security!

� What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises...

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

Lost Ways Of Survival Video

An amazing discovery in an abandoned house in Austin, Texas: A lost book of amazing survival knowledge, believed to have been long vanished to history, has been found in a dusty drawer in the house which belonged to a guy named Claude Davis.

Remember... back in those days, there was no electricity... no refrigerators... no law enforcement... and certainly no grocery store or supermarkets... Some of these exceptional skills are hundreds of years of old and they were learned the hard way by the early pioneers.

We've lost to history so much survival knowledge that we've become clueless compared to what our great grandfathers did or built on a daily basis to sustain their families.

Neighbors said that for the last couple of years Claude has tried to unearth and learn the forgotten ways of our great-grandparents and claimed to have found a secret of gargantuan proportions. A secret that he is about to reveal together with 3 old teachings that will change everything you think you know about preparedness:

What REALLY Happens When You Bury a Shipping Container? (Hint: It's A Bit Crazy...)

Shipping containers are all the rage - but if you are thinking about buying one, you MUST watch this video first:

Do not, I repeat do NOT do what these lunatics did! Can you spot the "fatal mistake" they made?

There's a general belief that if you bury a shipping container you can create an awesome root cellar / storm shelter / survival bunker.

But is a shipping container strong enough to handle the pressure?
