Care to elaborate more Jay? You using a hammock/tarp combo or what?

I know the climate where it originates can be pretty rough, but I wanna hear some first hands from people in a usda zone 5 or lower, maybe some midwest type climates. I really liking the idea of a natural yurt (felt and canvas).

I'm also in Canada, and expect to buy a Groovy Yurt. I'll be assembling in Nova Scotia. Tell me all your stories. No seriously. ALL OF THEM. Pros, cons. Things you would have done differently. I need all the info LOL.

What started you on your yurt journey? Why did you decide on a yurt over other housing? How did you deal with friends and family when you told them you'd be living in a yurt? What's your permaculture setup like, besides the whole living-in-a-yurt thing? What's your favourite thing about living in a yurt?
Expect more questions![]()
