Your enthusiasm is contagious during this video.
What a sweet gentleman you are! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Tamara.
The best thing is being able to hear nature! Thus, the experience! City Folk. 🙄😉
I agree, hearing nature is really cool. The problem with this one was the traffic noise. Not my kind of nature.
Huh. Modern day technology mixed into a design that's more than 2,000 years old. Amazing and yes very cool!
I helped a friend of mine build a yurt down in Texas many years ago. It was a real blast, but alas I never got to see the completed yurt. Kinda went our separate ways, but it's a memory I'll always treasure!
I'm so impressed with this yurt! I love that it had a kitchen and bathroom.
Thank you!
...the downside being close to the freeway. Wondering how much the membership fee and fee for the yurt was. How "reasonable" exactly was the price?
+Barbara Washington I am not sure but I think it is around $500.00 a year for like 18 resorts. Something like that.
+Keeperof Themountain wow 500 a year.... can you stay all year?!
Really, really cool ! Stayin' in a yurt just SOUNDS cool! Thanks for bringin' us along!
Wow! Thats nice...I want one!
Absolutely stunning
This guy is so happy. I love it.
Keep, you'd love Silver Lake Park up in Maple Falls, Washington, if you havent been there. 7 cabins total & 100's of acres nestled at the base of some incredible foothills. Great fishing, camping,etc. Book a cabin during the off season for AMAZING rates ;)
It sounds nice.
Throw out the televisionset, replace the toilet by a dry toilet, move everything a mile away from the road, and it will be a good start.
+Jos Nijsten You are singing my song.
I love that place, i've stayed there with friends and family. Even though it's a "parking lot camp site" I always enjoy my time there.
I really appreciate your step by step. Some people like me get worried about just how or what to do and expect. Your video helps ease thos worrys. Thank you😊
Cool! I'd always wondered what it would be like to stay in a yurt. Thanks for sharing!
i love your enthusiasm and general happy dude attitude!
Completely doable. I live in a 285 square foot cabin in the mountains right now. I love it. A Yurt would be quite a bit more room for me.
i also have stayed and camped in one of almost everything,the very first thing i noticed about your structure is it is off the ground,no snakes,varmints,and the deck and bbq that will do,very cozy
This is so cute, it's very spacious! I like the Yurts!
its a donut with furnature
I love how cheerful you are! I'm in the process of designing my own Yurt so this was really cool to see :)
Ancient hungarians (probably my ancestors) used to live in yurts. They were nomadic and they carried their yurts with them. They called them "yurta".
This one is kind of a modernized version, very cool.
excellent review, pros and cons. I find them interesting, and have relatives with one for company. Maybe stay there someday myself, probably about this size so it was nice to see.
A lot of Mongolians still live out on the steppes in yurts and have for thousands of years so it's perfectly viable for North America's climate zones.
Sparky Mahoney I agree. It is just that the arrogant government types deem it insufficient.
Well KoM, if you've got a few acres just throw one up - or a geodesic dome, google Pacific Domes - anyway. Sometimes it's better to seek forgiveness than to ask permission. And my experience has always been the can of worms only gets opened when you try to play by the bureaucrats rules to begin with.
You are preaching to the choir my friend
.
+Sparky Mahoney Indeed. The existence of places like Slab City proves that if you're in the middle of nowhere and not drawing attention to yourself, nobody really cares. Living in a tent is a hell of a lot tamer than what those folks get away with.
Very Cool..thanks for taking us along..
Yurt starts around 7:27
Road Blazer thank u
I do the same thing near the beach in Florida (home made). But here with the high temperatures, I only use the lattas for the walls so that winds can pass though freely. Then a roof to protect me from rain of course.
I only use it as a bedroom and have a separate kitchen and a separate bathroom. All totally off the grid.
The first cold front is actually coming in tonight so I will be closing in the wall and setting up the heater stove soon. It only gets down to about 35° here.
That sounds real nice.
That's camping in style!
This yurt is nicely set up for a small one (16 ft across). Many Oregon State Parks rent yurts. They're very popular, so book ahead. We stayed in one and were convinced that building/buying our own was a great idea. Yurts are really affordable, lightweight compared w/other building materials, and stand up well to wind, rainy climates and even earthquakes. Ours was fine in a 7.7 earthquake... really! Sound can be a problem, but living rent/mortgage free more than makes up for it.
looks like a pretty cool place! Thanks for sharing
It is a good way to find out if you want one of your own.
Very nice video its very spacey in there.
Wow that is really nice. I have stayed in lean-tos with no power though, but that looks like a nice campground.
I like the way you think! I built a small cabin and paid for it as I went. I owe nothing on it. Just the way I like it.
Sadly America is about the last country to not go fully metric. But we do alright. Btw, I would love to own a Yurt. They are fantastic. I stayed in one in Northern California. So much fun.
that's awesome, i would live there!
I agree. The whole campground it noisy like that. It is however very popular as it is next door to a casino.
it is BRILLIANT!!
This was a good video and very informative. Thanks for posting.
That highway nose.
That is totally yurtastic!
That is so cool!
Funny, the instructions for calling the ranger are almost exactly the same as calling to get your windshield replaced.
My pleasure Trish!
Nice Yurt!"
"There's a stop sign" *Drives straight through*
Yurts are awesome
Thanks, I am happy most of the time :)
LOVE IT!!
sounds just like home, i live 100 feet from a 6 lane tollway, on the top floor, so i'm over the "noise fence".
Not all yurts are made of cloth. There are more permanent yurts made of wood.
In Montana we average 2.159 meters of snow per year. Yes this is accurate, In the US that's 7 feet 1 inch.
Thanks Mack!
very cool. i'm 31 and rent an apartment right now but i'd love to buy a small bit of land and plop down a yurt. so cheap for the space u get.
Business, I'm in the mountains, don't care what you do or say! Ciao
Thank you I was like 2 min in and was thinking ok where is the yurt.
Never done before? I thought you ere gonna pass on a doughnut!? Fooled me!!
USA ha ha aren't you just sweet! I'll never freeze, I raise sled dogs and grew up in the mountainside!
I used to say the same thing. Now I am old. I can no longer deal with the cold.
Yes hear you, I winter in Texas-Arizona!
YURTS ARE THE BEST!! Try living in one full time:)
I've been to Fairbanks, Alaska. Alaska is beautiful but way too cold to live there.
Thanks!
We live in a yurt! They are so beautiful, wouldn't change a thing! Have just uploaded a tour of our yurt, but we also have one with the construction of it too.
Lulastic Hippyshake yep, I always watch your videos 😊🌼🌻
This looks cool. Where the Fan is, it looks like there is a air hole. Apart from that, looks pretty cool .
The fan is mounted below a high-tech skylite. Some models these open.
In traditional yurts [gers], those are smoke-holes covered as needed by an adjustable fabric cover.
Nice Vid. Thanks for posting.
Nice! 😍
Thanks for watching.
you are so cute & funny crack open a cold one a brew, I hear you dude, I would do the same,I never stayed in a yurt before but I have stayed in a cabin,out in the Amish country, yeah I would rather bring a air mattress I'm very particular about sleeping on public beds and sitting on public Furniture like sofa and chairs,I am a nurse assistant I don't even like sitting in my clients chairs and sofas, I have to bring something to cover it but even covering it I'm still thinking what's underneath it, can you believe it, I probably will use the towels& wash clothes that they bring but I'll be particular about also using that I probably will bring my own. but anyway it seems like a very nice place I hope you enjoyed your stay there even though that was a few years back the next time I will try to find a place that has those yurts.& stay in one over the weekend. believe it or not I'm just not learning about those yurts ,enjoyed Your uTube videos. God bless you dude.
Thanks it means a lot.
Great Video
👍 Cool
interesting, well thought of...
Take the couch out for a walk, HAHAHAHA!
I'm in Bellingham, and I've wanted to stay for a night in a yurt ever since I learned about them.
Unfortunately, I've had 4 strokes, starting in June 2011. I have a mobility-related disability, and my Pride Victory 10 mobility scooter therefore is pretty important to me. I doubt that the decks on which the yurts at Thousand Trails are built have ramps for such scooters, so I'd probably have to bring my own.
Then again, I'd need a vehicle capable of carrying the scooter in the first place. I doubt that the Mount Vernon campground is even in the normal travel range of the Skagit County paratransit service. But one never knows.
Mark Pettigrew I too am recovering from my third stroke. I do not recall if they had one with a ramp or not. I have mobility issues from my last one as well. Not as much as you though from what you say. Having a stroke really sucks. But, We shall overcome right?
Mark pedigru in regards to your physical challenge's I am going to give you some advice. I am also challenged physically and receive the checks I earned. my medical is both Medicare and Medicaid. with the help of 3 qualified physicians and proper paperwork I have been able to get a few very helpful tools for maintaining assistance with my care. they are referred to as being durable medical equipment. I have been informed that when the time comes for the remaining use of my legs that I may be eligible for both a scootabout and a vehicle to help me and the scootabout get around. please check this information with your pain management doctor and God's speed.
apacheredwolfe Actually, I don't have a "pain management doctor".
I did experience some pain the other day, and my stroke-related disability seemed to be to blame, but I've been fairly fortunate, pain-wise.
When I broke my tibia (main leg bone) at age 11, the pain was excruciating!
The main difference is that I was able to look forward to getting better, as long as I walked with crutches until the doctor removed my itchy plaster cast. This is different. I think that it's unlikely that I'll ever get better, barring a miracle.
I'd like to pick one of these up. Wonder how expensive.
Please do lots of homework before buying!!!!
Please read my post of June 7, 2014
There are good things and bad things about them----vendors rarely talk of those, and those could be deal-breakers for potential buyers.
Glad you liked it.
what a nice video i could "do" that !
More advanced Yurts have insulation of varying effectiveness.
Yo, Yurts sounds AWESOME! recently moved to Washington, so i'm gonna definitely check this place out. Do you also know if this is close to the San Juan islands?
Connor Hernandez It is reasonably close to the San juan Ferry but not that close.
cool
Now that right there is funny!
Another video blogger and her boyfriend stayed at what seems to be the same place. I wouldn't mind it. Looks neat.
And what is more, He does not care! LOL
Nice yurt, but I would have to have an emergency exit...door or window without the 'lattice work' blocking it.
+caseyuscasey Unlisted That sounds like a good idea.
+Keeperof Themountain They can be ordered with more than one exterior door, but campgrounds don't usually spend the coin to do that. I would recommend it for a personal yurt that would be lived in.
Hello from Greece. This is a very interesting video. Personally I hadn't heard of yurts until 3 years ago when a team of five young people created in Nothern Evia, a greek island, a vegan eco-community living in yurts and eco-domes and giving lessons on cultivating your own food and constructing your own yurt. The name of the community is ''free and real'' if you would like to check it out on youtube.
It's all good :)
LOL That is funny right there. You are close in your analysis. The owners call the Resort a "Preserve" It is on an Indian Reservation next door to a casino. Believe it or not, I have never been in the casino as I do not like to gamble. I am married to my one and only 30+ years.
As long as you save hundreds of dollars on Geico, it's all good!
Should fixed your windshield when the spider set in..Now there's a curve line on your windshield..
My only concern is how the outer skin would hold up in our extremes and the cost of replacement.
Thousand Trails is usually a good place and affordable when compared to KOA. My problem is with the people so good spot choice is crucial. It seems no matter what there is always the full time single old guy resident who is angry about everything you do. Find him and pick a spot as far away as possible and you will enjoy it!!!
You are right. In every campground there is one. They are worse on cloudy days and better when the sun is out.
im 82 and live in a yurt
A little cold in Canada unless you insulate. The Mongolians did invent them. So they could work in Canada.
I wanted to see THE YURT, but he doesn't get to it till 7:25 then ends at 10:33. So if you want to 'go' with this guy on his vacation, and hear him talk, watch the whole thing, otherwise you can fast forward to THE YURT.
No matter where you stay you have to pay. Unless of course you can sponge off of someone and get them to pay your way.
NICE BUT THE BEDS LOOK UNCOMFORTABLE. YOU WOULD WAKE UP AND BE IN A LOT OF PAIN.
I thought it was sweet
They are everywhere. Google Yurt rentals
i want one
Yurts are great.
More campgrounds o resorts than Thousand Trails, have them.
This is totally an ad promoting Thousand Trails...a membership {read: expensive!!!] vacation campground or resort.
If you think you might like to own a yurt, PLEASE do LOTS of homework before buying one, make sure the county where your site is, allows them--or allows living in them--or what strange arrangements they stipulate for them,
Rainier Yurts is one that has option for double-layer insulation [R-10]; Alaska yurts has thick insulation [more R-value] and waterproof covers.
In cold wet climates, those are very good to have.
Insulated units at Yosemite Lakes [CA] required more blankets for sleepers who stayed there in winter, as the propane heat stove was inadequate to warm their large, skimpily-insulated yurts.
Insulation also keeps these cooler in summer.
Nobody gives a crap about your negative comments. You are the only one with bad things to say about yurts and NOBODY CARES!
Tamara Goss
Just trolling to make ignorant cheap-shots?
You selling camp or resort memberships?
Or....?
Can't read for content?
Don't like Thousand Trails having competition?
Plenty positive in my comment.
Get a yurt without doing homework on how to best use them---then good luck with your dream-scape when a hard winter happens, Grasshopper.
They're fun to stay in for vacation;
CAN be fun to live in...just need to know how-to, better than yurt-sellers normally inform their customers.
It's real world, not aerie-fairy dreaming.
Bring extra blankets when camping in them at campgrounds/resorts, in winter.
You know it certainly does come across like an add. Not my intention though. I was just doing a review on the camp ground. I had never stayed in a yurt before. I like your suggestions.
Keeperof Themountain,
Yurts appear to be very romantic to stay in; creative ambiance and all--which are wonderful!
We found our winter stay in an insulated, Pacific Yurt, very enjoyable up near Yosemite.
It had most of the windows covered by the roll-down covers for added insulative value [a bit].
It had a thermostat-controlled gas heater, but it was not adequate to keep the interior warm enough for deep-winter stays. We really wished we'd brought more blankets for sleeping comfort, that weekend!
After MUCH research, we ended up buying a Nesting Bird unit [now owned by Rainier Yurts, in Seattle, WA], with double insulation
--Pacific Yurts didn't make double insulation--they said they didn't think it made enough difference---we can say for a fact, that yes, double insulation DOES make a difference!
We also wished we'd ordered the skylite topper from the place in Alaska--it's more durable, faceted unit, and can have a chimney pipe up through one of the panes of glass--a far better skylight than the dramatic smooth dome skylights so often used [they don't live very long in some circumstances--long stories...]
Over years, we've learned the hard way, that most venders of them don't adequately educate potential buyers about living in them---there definitely IS a learning curve!
High-tech is a great thing, but sometimes, there might be better materials to use in some climates, for instance.
Yurts require user-interface to keep them running well--they are not a passive house to stay in. They require maintenance. IF you think that at any time, you might be physically limited in ability to care for it or move it, you might consider getting multiple small units, instead of the gorgeous large unit.
It'd require writing a book to convey everything.
Did you have specific questions?
Winter Star Not particularly. I think the world of Yurts could stand to have a video of your yurt with the information you just wrote. Are you in Washington State? If so I would like to film it.
what size is the yurt?
Do you know about what the diameter of this yurt is?
I've never heard of a yurt before now. And now I know. Thanks for posting. How much did this yurt set you back per night?
I think it was about $120.00 a night. I don't really remember the price though.
I'm going to live in a yurt
Kim Ciais Cool. Make a video, We would all love to see it.
That will take years I'll make one When its ready.
