[TheForge] Chuck Robinson's yurt shop

[Andrew Vida]

Yurts are great structures.  Like a teepee only a bit better IMO. 
Clean, dry, maintainable, portable.  What more could a nomadic family 
ask for?  Prior to being "civilized", the Hungarians lived in only two 
places - yurts and on horseback.  Wasn't until civility came to them 
that everything went to hell.

I am a big fan of strawbale construction.  Very strong, upwards of R70 
insulation value, and actually LESS prone to fire if properly 
constructed than conventional structures.
