    I see the modern American type yurt (as well as Mongolian trad yurt) as an affordable alternative to a house. Being in debt for fifteen to forty years isn't for some, and small and affordable no debt...

    yurt insulation is extremely important in cold climates. if the area you plan to erect the yurt is wet you may regret having a yurt as your primary residence in short order. cloth doesn't handle...
