    TSRalex liked post by UKadventurer On thread : Toilet ideas
    Our current solution is minimal. An open air squat trench for defecation and 50m in any direction outside for urine in the day. At night we have a bucket with a lid for urine. When it’s full, I throw...

    I’m not a fan of posts. I looked into it and it turned out to be more expensive. We’ve done 2 types. Rock and gravel with a wooden floor. Rocks were free on our land, gravel about $150 for 10...

    TSRalex liked post by UKadventurer On thread : New, modern yurt build in Mongolia
    Thanks, we like it a lot. Choices in Mongolia are very, very limited. You can import flooring - usually from China - but it's slow and costly. So I went with what was available locally and in...

    We added underfloor heating and laminate floor. Total cost was about $1700 installed for 2 x 7m diameter gers. We paid professionals to do it. I’m not comfortable making this my first such project....

    Haha. It sounds a bit callous when I read it again. However with all the Spenser’s I’m still facing, economies have to be made. High ranking guests get one of the modern gers. Low ranking guests get...

    The traditional ger on our land is right under a big tree. We don’t sleep in it and avoid using it during an electric storm. It’s a spare for occasional guests essentially. I could install an LPS for...

    However many you have, make sure they are bonded together.

    I've been close to lightning strikes already. It's very, very scary. There's no warning. Just a very loud explosion. Once was on the motorway in the UK. The other was recently. My cat was terrified...

    I had the same problem at camp. I ended up running multiple rods at various lengths and then bonding them together with copper. It was the best I could do.

    Well, the nomad design of ger/yurt is designed to transported, erected and dismantled in a few hours. Several times per year. The transportation part requires the lowest possible bulk and weight. Low...

    Glad to answer. We've had a very wet summer. There is definitely a certain amount of leakage in traditional gers, especially around the chimney. The crown cover can not touch the chimney because, as...

    Hi, good question. I know traditional Mongolian gers quite well. The 'tohn' (crown) has multiple functions. Ventilation, light, and time keeping. The modern ger has most of those elements but does it...

    I do not think it’s practical or wise to import felts from Mongolia. Very risky with the current situation.

    That sounds reasonable for insulation. However, the outer cover is the one that gets replaced most often in Mongolia. This is a decorative, sacrificial and low cost element. It protects the...
