So, where are the crazy yurts rioting now?

OH! YURTS, not yutes: aka sheepherder's wagon, but now Hippygreenyuppie “I Care!” statement that bears little relation to a traditional Mongolian yurt.

I’ve stayed in a Yurt a few times.
They are really cool some are spartan others can be luxurious.
I remember FREEZING my butt off one Febuary night in a yurt when my buddy left the skylight open and the fuse for our electic heater blew out.
I still feel those chills........

Thanks I tried reading the description but I “get it” better with pictures and diagrams.

Can I get one with a/c and running water? :)
