Yurt
A yurt (ger in Mongolian) is a large circular tent made of wool felt stretched over a wooden frame used by nomadic peoples of the Asian steppe since before written records began. Yurts are especially associated with Mongol herders and hunters and were famously used by such figures as Genghis Khan (r. 1206-1227 CE). Made in various sizes and even sometimes permanently erected on top of carts for ease of mobility, yurts have become one of the identifying features of the nomads who still today carve out a living in the often harsh climate of the remotest parts of Eurasia.

The traditional insulation and decoration within a yurt primarily consists of pattern-based woollen felted rugs. These patterns are generally not according to taste, but are derived from sacred ornaments with certain symbolism. Symbols representing strength are, for instance, the temdeg or khas (swastika), the four powerful beasts (lion, tiger, garuda – a kind of avian, and dragon), as well as stylized representations of the four elements (fire, water, earth, and air), considered to be the fundamental, unchanging elements of the cosmos. Such patterns are commonly used in the home with the belief that they will bring strength and offer protection.

This is cool- it’s John and Fin’s off-the-grid tiny home in Georgia. They’ve named it the “Beloved Cabin Tiny House Homestead & Stay.”
Fin coaxed John to leave their big city life behind and build a small 304-square-foot tiny house from the empty shell of what is called a lofted-barn portable building.
They have vegetable gardens, fruit trees, forests, two winding creeks originating from natural springs, solar energy, a methane biogas system for cooking, rainwater collection systems, and more.
They have their own style that they call “Cozy Boho Dumpster Dive.” Furniture is either DIY, repurposed, or salvaged.
For them, a “dream home” is what they have created for themselves and specifically supports what they enjoy and how they want to live.
It took 18 mos. to build.
They started the United Tiny House Association that has grown to become what is arguably the largest tiny living support and advocacy organization in the world with over 37K+ members.
Their toilet is a composting model.
The combination bathroom/greenhouse is their favorite room.
When they added the greenhouse/bathroom, they converted the space that was the original bathroom into a large walk-thru closet.
Their advice for finding or creating one’s dream home is quite simple: “Do whatever you want as long as it doesn’t negatively impact others … and don’t listen to the naysayers.”
I have no idea what this is, but they say it’s for cooking fuel.
The garden is lovely. I can’t believe that all this only took 18 mos.
They also own 3 tiny houses, a yurt, and a skoolie. Looks like they sleep in the yurt. Makes a pretty bedroom.

I was staying in a Yurt the other night and it was thunderstorming so this wasp flew inside to hide from the rain and it was honestly so cute. This wasp and I were chilling together all night.
