Going with a Yurt and semi-grid removal

I should've mentioned, the one I looked at was all set up with a wooden floor. Very sturdy & functional for a minimalist lifestyle. Better than the cardboard boxes most of us will be living in by the time the Fed gets done wrecking the economy.

What size did you get. I'm definitely thinking of the 30 footer. It looks quite spacious and fits our needs. Her books and my guns! By semi-off the grid, I mean I'd like to have gas, water and electric lines if I can but be able to produce my own heat, energy, and water if need be. We're not crazy just really enjoy the survivalist mantra and the ability to be left alone.

Why not buy a nice trailer? Its already set up for electricity and water etc.
If you have to move its on wheels.
If your stuck herding reindeer buy a yurt.

I actually signed a contract with the Obama government to herd reindeer so I'm SOL already just wanted to be comfortable. A trailer was another option we've been discussing but Yurt's are just what we've been leaning towards. We're going for the Genghis Khan look.

you'll need a good vehicle and a decent trailer to haul the weight of the yurt plus belongings

A 21' yurt weighs a half a ton and takes up a 8' bed with overhang for the poles

If you watch craigslist you can find the occasional yurt for just a couple o thousand.

coming from someone who just spent a year (oct 09-december 10)in a trailer. get the yurt.

Thanks my friend. Definitely going to get a good trailer to haul it.
