Roughly 30 per cent of Mongolians live nomadically or semi-nomadically, and the region’s history of nomadism has left an indelible mark on the country’s culture. Easily portable traditional huts known as gers (more commonly referred to by their Russian name, yurts) are still a common sight throughout the Mongolian steppe, and continue to be a practical form of shelter for many people, thousands of years since they were first developed. Set to traditional throat singing, The Nomad’s Ger uses time-lapse video to convey the dazzling, deeply rooted skill and efficiency with which a Mongolian family assembles its home on the open plains in just over an hour.

Mongolians are a very resilient nation

The traditional ones didn't use plastic but were waterproof. The wooden frame is beautiful. Ingenius home! Thank you for the video!

Awesome video; very cool. I also love the throat music and horse head fiddle ❤🧡💛

[@CallMeGeruuu]

That means mongolians live in tents in the middle of nowhere! I want to live in one too!

Not all of them but many do.

_A stately pleasure-dome decree:_
_Where Alph, the sacred river, ran_
_Through caverns measureless to man_
_Down to a sunless sea._

amazed by the design and how quickly it was erected

[@KanadMondal]

It takes his family an hour to build this and it takes my family an hour to unpack a mattress.

True. However the beauty of the design is that it CAN be erected by one if needed. :-)
