Comments on: What Is A Yurt? Why I Am Glad You Asked http://www.comingunmoored.com/2009/03/yurt-glad-asked/ At last I had mastered the low art of coming unmoored. -- Joe Androe Thu, 20 Oct 2011 00:22:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Colorado Yurt http://www.comingunmoored.com/2009/03/yurt-glad-asked/comment-page-1/#comment-802 Colorado Yurt Thu, 02 Apr 2009 12:57:07 +0000 http://www.comingunmoored.com/?p=888#comment-802 hi Steph, Thanks for great post! We at the Colorado Yurt Company, like you and Becky, have long felt that yurts are an ideal answer to the calls of the small and tiny house movement. Sustainable, low-impact, and round (no wasted corners) they help us to re-envision how we live. Plus, because they're semi-portable you can re-re-envision in several different locations. Check out our website. www.coloradoyurt.com to see pics of how more people are turning this unique space into unique tiny homes. Best, Sam hi Steph,

Otherwise we might have had a fire. A write-up is possible. Would probably be most interesting when we're out there from May on. Feel free to contact me by email.

And if you're keeping the packrats out you're doing well indeed. (Don't get me started on the ones who managed to set one of our cars on fire when I lived in Tucson.) Any chance you'd be interested in us doing a write-up of your little place? Steph Liz, how neat! And if you’re keeping the packrats out you’re doing well indeed.

My partner and I bought a yurt from Pacific Yurts last year and have made it into a cozy home on our property in Wallowa County in Northeastern Oregon. We got the snow and wind kit and put insulation in the wooden floor. It's performed beautifully in wind, hail, snow, and has even kept out the packrats so far.

Loved some of your pieces on tiny homes and all the links. Thanks for making the connection between yurts and small homes. I see yurts as part of the small home movement, but I don't think the small home folks seem are there yet. You might want to let your readers know about my website, www.yurtinfo.org, and book, "YURTS: Living in the Round", in case they're interested in exploring yurt options further. Wishing you the best on your small homes journey, and many thanks for your good work in the world...

My host family (Russian) and their friends used small ones as shelter from the sun on the lake. Pretty great! But of course they have a long history as primary homes there, too. I'm a fan of yurts, definitely. Thanks for sharing. I saw my first yurt when I was training for the Peace Corps in Kazakhstan.
