How does heating work in a traditional Yurt? Does it actually stay warm in the winter or do you just layer up and take it?

The walls are made of thick felted horsehair "blankets" wrapped around the wooden frame, covered with a protective cloth outer.

There is a brazier or metal stove inside for cooking and heat.

Yurts should be pretty toasty.

Those little horse crystals would have to be removed. They sting awfully.

There's a place in Quebec that imports yurts from Mongolia. Seems like really cheap and good housing if you don't mind not necessarily having utilities. The one on the right here only costs like $6,000.

It's a pretty good deal imo considering they're fully functional as permanent housing. They also come with insulation and a needlessly fancy door which probably drives the price up a lot.

You can just skip buying one too, they arent that hard to make, just a bit of time and effort.

Bruh you are nuts to pay 6K for that. The first thing you do is go to pacific yerts, download their platform / foundation plans and cost out that install, once you've looked at their layout ideas and gotten an idea of the size of yurt you'd want to build. Then, go to a sawmill or use a table saw to cut down boards to the appropriate size for the walls.

Then just source poles and either buy or make the top ring, and use old billboards for the covering.

This thing is on the order of 100-1000 for a yurt, not 6k. And you can find used ones on CL for 2k all day, foundation included sometimes. The UV damage, insect damage (on ones I've seen) and inherent non-resilience to snow loads means you can't set it up unless you live in the thing full-time, because one good snow dump could cave it in. They're good for a temporary shelter, but I'd not live in one for 5 years. Use on site while building more robust structure.
