This site will document the the process of building & using a Yurt.

    First off, what is a Yurt? 

It is a traditional semi-permanent house on the steppes of Central Asia.  This Wikipedia entry has more to say.

    Secondly, how are you going to build this?

We are basically following the plans of Monica Cellio

Why am I building this?

I am generally a minimalist camper. - backpacking is more my speed- but my lovely lady Denise needs space for all her garb and gear

Everything needs to be upright, and watertight May so that we can practice set-up & tear-down before July
