Re: Build Your own Yurt (CAT)
You just might be on to something. IMO folks that enjoy walking and biking are the exact same sort of people that are most likely to consider spending the night in a traditional yurt. I have an unimproved trad 16' yurt that I built, that's been up for two years now. It is built tough, no problems in those two years. It sits on a low platform that is one step up off the ground. FWIW a 12' yurt is quite small, it will sleep 2 to 3 quite nicely with gear inside. That's assuming there is no wood stove in the middle.
If you add any amenities like stove plumbing and electricity you'll have that as a $$ liability. I'd stick with the unimproved yurt myself, to start. Good luck with your idea.
