If you are interested in photos of how I anchored my yurt, copy and paste:

Bob Rowlands home made yurt

My yurt is the rustic looking yurt with the hunter green door. There are several detail shots. Before I built the platform I anchored the yurt to ten concrete piers set flush with the ground around the yurt perimeter. There is cable running through eyes set in the top of those piers. You can see the anchor ropes for the roof canvas and the rafter bridle anchored to that system. Not hardly nomadic but I don't care. I lost my first unanchored yurt in a snowstorm. Eight full days of work lost in seconds. NEVER again.
