I Bernie wins, everyone will be equal . . . whether they live in a Yurt or in a shipping-container home. This may be like the Obamacare sales pitch that it would free some people from having to work. They are preparing us for the consequences of socialism and trying to explain that poverty is good.
We too can have less space, fewer possessions, and be closer to the outdoors in all seasons, if we just let Bernie follow Barack the First.

Sort of like the Unibomber’s green tiny house! He was a luddite, too.

A yurt is basically a large circular tent with solid walls and a floor. Some can be quite nice. Don’t know that I’d want to live in one, especially during storms, but it’s not bad at all if well furnished and in a scenic location.

If you live where temps drop below freezing in the winter, you can easily create a no-energy refrigerator by insulating a box (or removing the top from an old cooler) and setting it directly against the wall of your yurt with the opening facing out. Enough cold air comes through the wall to keep the food cool, while the insulation keeps the warm air from inside your yurt from thawing things out. Or as I call it a bear/coyote/raccoon feeder.

These tiny house people are nutz.
How many of them have actually spent any time in 200-400 square feet on a permanent basis?
Lets be practical here. Go rent an RV for a month. Live in it for just 30 days. IF you can stand it - then yeah - make the plunge and go for it full time.

“Living in a yurt brought our family closer together through sharing space more intimately. It also got us outdoors more! We found that yurt living helps us to live more deliberately as well, with more awareness of the resources we were using in our everyday lives.”
Should have pitched a tent.

No yurt is complete without a couple of yaks!
