cool to see the contrast of modern plastic, and centuries old design of wooden framing!

I was thinking the same thing.

You beat me to it SOS! Saw that yesterday and was going to post it - very cool. Might be an applicable concept to make on a smaller scale for a winter shelter.

WOW ! Cool video. Also I learned what a yurt is. Not that I had ever heard of one before but, now I know what it it I learn something new everyday here. I guess thats why I spend so much time on here each day !

I have built 2 gers (yurts) for the medieval events i attend, the latest one is about 16 ft across on the inside, for the long 3-4 day events, its real nice to have an actual portable bed and real space to live! mine takes about 30 min to set up and my future plans include a wood stove , Yurts are awesome!
