A long winded video, but this is the layout that helped sell me in the 16 footer. Watched this one a few times and they did say 16 foot, either in this or another one of their vids. Those diesel stoves are awesome however aren’t without their issues. As a boat guy and have my fair share of bot junk and I just sold a model of that stove similar but an actual cook range. The 24/7 heat is great but when they act up they are messy and I just quit my job as a diesel mechanic and would rather not smell like that off grid with the laundry being 30 miles down the road.
This is going to be a four seasons shelter with emphasis on winter time, I’m 15 minutes from the ski area and plan to snowboard all winter. I had 4.5 feet at my place a few winters back so I’m also going to be getting the full snow load kit with it.
Has anybody added a second layer of
?
That modern foil bubble wrap stuff really appeals because of its inorganic nature. Going all traditional with the wool/felt
just doesn’t sound pleasant in the cold dark wet rainy snowy upper-foothills of the cascade mountains in winter
I probably won’t make an elaborate kitchen for in the yurt, perhaps just a gravity sink, cutting block, some basic cast irons and a good wood stove... I have other facilities on property.
With the costs of lumber currently and will probably get a firewood cutting permit and an Alaskan sawmill for floor boards and cabinetry and stuff. We are allowed to purchase wood cutting permits and as long as the logs stay 8 foot or under (for determining cordage) we can haul them off for firewood so long as you stay within your cordage limits. If I recall it’s something like 55$ for 12 cords of wood. Between my Jeep, chainsaw, and flatbed trailer and whatever else I can come up with, I might be able to press my Jeep into service as a log truck!
Fall and winter are my months for playing and being outdoors. Fishing, hiking/foraging, hunting, all that fun stuff.
I’m rather sold on the Jotul 602 wood stove but realize there are others out there, so long as it’s the right size, however I’d love to have an old turn of the century wood fired cook range in a yurt.... perhaps when I build a 30 footer I will have one
