A yurt is a very basic, tent-like structure traditionally used for nomadic living. While anyone can choose to live in a yurt, they are especially suitable for those who prefer to live in nature. Buy or build your yurt according to your own needs and standards, and be sure to place your yurt near a clean water source. By putting the time and energy towards building a tiny dwelling, you'll be able to enjoy the simple, sustainable lifestyle that yurts facilitate.

  1. Step 1 Build a yurt if you have the time, resources, and carpentry skills.

If you're thinking of building a yurt, look into different yurt patterns online, and watch some yurt-building tutorials on YouTube to determine whether or not you're up for the challenge.[1]
