No much up here in the north as it is relatively dry. It gets condensation in winter but it is at the manageable level. We were supervised how little mold was on the inside of the canvas where we moved the yurt last year after using it for 12 years.

Thanks, it is about 65” tall!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the comment. We thought about putting the washroom inside first but the one I used at my work had one inside and it always stank like a bathroom, so we are very happy that we didn’t in our case. As for shower, there is no way to build a pipe system that would not freeze in minus 30-40c in the dead of the winter. ( that is what there are so many “dry cabins” in Yukon and Alaska.) Because we have the harsh winter, we have to build our life around it, bearing the inconvenience for the rest of the year. It is just the way it is up here and we accept it. If we really need the convenience, we might as well move into a normal house :-)

Thank you so much for your comment! I hope you will build a nice place :-)

Thank you for watching :-)

Hi, I don’t remember exactly how I did it but I don’t think I nailed or secreted the center piece. Probably good idea to use a small L bracket to secure it to the floor to make it stronger.

@@tntnaturecon Thanks!

So our food doesn’t freeze but still stays cold. Thanks for watching.

Hi, I was using 2x2 for the front cabinet. Thanks for watching !

That is great advice, MattiPitkanen63. Thanks so much for taking the time to write to us. Very kind of you indeed! We wish you a nice spring too.

Glad you liked it!

No there was not a template. I think I made a template using a cardboard. It was as perfect as it looked on the video :-)

I made a template using the cardboard but I don’t think the actual cut out on the metal I made was as perfect as you think :-)

You’re very welcome. Thanks for watching, @snowdrop1590. : )

We do not have a conventional shower but we have a sauna and outdoor shower attached to the sauna which we use only in the summer.

Yes it is a Canadian sauna, maybe not even a Canadian one. I am not even sure what it even is. not the authentic Finish one for sure haha

It definitely got over heated and had to put it outside in a freezing temperature to cool it down for sure. The steam and condensation was more of the problem.

We actually have rocks on the stove that we put water on and enjoy the steam.

Yes thanks shingles are decorative and I am sure I made more errors than you can see in the video haha

Thanks, dogs need to be on a leash in Kluane National Park to protect hikers from bears. Tenshi loves to be off-leash and we let her free whenever we can. Filming is a little easier when she is on a leash too as she’s quite an explorer.

I doubt they are strong enough for a hammock but it may be. We never tried ourselves but sounds like a good idea if it works!

Yes for sure, this was me three years ago, so I don’t move as fast as I used to any more :-)

Glad our video touched your warrior spirit. We are far from warriors ourselves. 😄😄🐕

We don’t have many days of -30 and colder so for the most part, we are cozy. Thanks for watching Donald Hall.

The wide angled lens makes it look bigger possibly…we wish it was. 😂 believe us, it’s a 5x8.

Hi Rachel. We have a Chinook Blaze King. It’s a good size for our yurt. We purchased the metal water box that sits on top at a antique shop. It was actually made for a little wood stove. We are not sure how it was actually used. Somehow a smaller pipe fit right in the middle of the box. Thanks for watching.

Hello Zeljkamarson. Thankfully we live in a safe area. I think a thief could use a saw or axe to get in, but let’s not give them any ideas. 😉 Thanks for watching.

@@tntnaturecon ❤️

I see you don't have the weight yet, at least the mpg while pulling the trailer. Thanks in advance! 😊

Hello. How cool that you have the same set-up, Richiemohabir4021. We still haven’t weighed our trailer yet but the mpg is about 17.5. How about yours?

@@tntnaturecon I get about 23 mpg in my 2017 with AWD. That's without the trailer. I just upgraded and have been slowly building out a 7 x 16 and bought a chevy avalanche to pull that. It gets 15 mpg, but with that trailer it gets about 8 or 9 😔 😥 . Even less in those Georgia mountains.. It's about 3000lbs TA.

Hello Houston. Stay cool and thanks for watching.

That’s a lot of firewood, CreggLund! 💪🏽💪🏽We will check out your link. No idea what a “tweaker” is. Thanks for watching!

@@tntnaturecon Tweakers are the drug addicts that live mostly in old RVs up here.

We don’t use the trailer in the winter, so that’s good. It doesn’t get too hot here in the summer, so enough for that season too. Thanks for watching, @imlivingthedream3942.

Glad you found us, Audrey Burton. Thanks for your kind comment.

Hi, not really concerned about collapsing as metal wall seems to be strong enough to hold the window. We have used it for some time and it still has not collapsed yet :-)

Hi Lawman. Thanks for your comment. We think Tenshi is mostly Malamute which is a northern dog. She fits right in here in Yukon Canada where we have about 8 months of cold! She seems content and especially brightens up when it snows. We are so lucky to have her. 🤗🤗🐾🐾

Hi there. We live in Yukon, Canada. It’s right next door to Alaska. My husband is from Japan but others have asked if he is Inuit (Eskimo). Thanks for watching, Phillip. We have quite a few more videos like this on our channel and hope to create more in the future.

@@tntnaturecon thanks for your reply.👍

Hello @tacotime. Thanks so much for your helpful tips. We appreciate you taking the time to leave this comment.

This is a very good question. It is not required where we live. Thanks for watching. 🙂

@@tntnaturecon that's good 👍😊

I checked out the Smiling Wood Yurt website- very cool. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

Haha. That’s a great question. 😂Tomohiro wants you to know, he’s working behind the camera. Thanks for watching rebokfleetfoot9473.
