Yurts in the U.K: fine for glamping, but not for living in?
View this post on Hive: Yurts in the U.K: fine for glamping, but not for living in?
I've moved to Hive, along with most other people, following Justin Sun's takeover of Steem in the Spring of 2020. I believe hive is a lot more decentralised than Steem!
I love yurts too but I've only stayed overnight in one once.
I do have memories of staying in a Tepee many times as a child as my friend inherited his fathers tepee when he was involved in a car accident when my mate was 8.
We used to stay in it pretty much every summer in a place called middlewood trust near to Lancaster. I have really nice memories from that time and the Tepee was always pitched next to a permanent Yurt in the woods of the trust land. We would go down to the river every morning to get water to boil up for tea and swim in the river.
It was hippie heaven :)
Obviously terrible about the car accident, but that sounds idyllic.
I have actually heard of Middlewood Trust, they're one of the very few long standing eco-communities in the country, I'm pretty sure they're in Diggers and Dreamers, the guide to communal living.
I think Ridgedale farm in Sweden has a yurt as conference room. I think it is mainly planning permission keeping people from using the in the UK for long-term use.

Planning definitely doesn't help, it just seems to be a tool to shaft the poor!

I am guessing living in a yurt is not a thing in the US either, although there are lots of tiny houses, even festivals for them. Tiny houses seem to be getting a lot of attention.
I stayed in a yurt once, which was surrounded by trees. It was comfy camping and nice and all, until a big storm blew through. A pine tree took out one of the yurts near by. That was not pretty.
I guess tiny houses are more practical, and not too much more expensive for how much more you get!
That tree incident sounds aweful, quite rare though I imagine!

I went to one of those tiny house festivals and it was pretty impressive. Lots of converted buses too.
imagine it is rare. It seems like yurts are generally in more open areas.

well it is Glamorous camping so it has to be expensive, right?
Especially in th SE....actually perhaps that's a way to live in one - buy a field and set up a glamping business, just keep one back on the sly for myself.
It's probably reasonably easy money. At the going rates I cld probably afford to pay someone to run it all for me too!
Hmmm
