The Nomad's Ger

  • The nomadic people of Mongolia don't stay in one place for long. That's why they live in gers (which American's know by the Russian name, yurt), a home that is fast and easy to assemble and disassemble. Putting up a ger (pronounced gair) is fast and easy, but its best done by an entire family. This ger was moved by the family of Shagdarsuren Herelchuluun, on the east side of Lake Hovsgol, in northern Mongolia, not far from the Russian border.
    The sound track of this video is music recorded at the Choijin Lama Temple Museum in Ulaanbator, the Mongolian capital.
    For another example of throat singing, please see my other video from Mongolia. • Thoat Singing in Mongo...

    Exemplary. They've lived like this for thousands of years. I recently built one and I have to say it has cut the rent to almost zero and sets up in an hour with a bit of practice. Also very warm and cheap to heat (the shape of it does that).

    Awesome I think a nomadic life in Mongolia sounds so peaceful and simple. No face paced stressful life. I really would like to experience it....

    @TheBabarules That music is hypnotic and fantastic.

    It's quite windy in Mongolia, but the structure presents a pretty low profile and the wind tends to flow over and around it. The rounded shape helps, as does the fact that the door (and wall height) is a bit less than five feet high.)
    The main difference between this ger and a winter one is a layer of felt insulation. But the ger is really a summer dwelling. Many of the people who live in gers in the summer, as they follow their flocks, move into wooden houses similar log cabins for the winter.

    @msggoodday I think the winter and summer houses are the same. They are pretty small so they don't have that much space to heat. They put rugs down on top of the ground.

    @TheBabarules If they'd listen to Steve Tyler instead, the ger would have been blown away. This way of singing is called Khöömii.

    @TheBabarules The music is Mongolian throat music.

    @FloppyBishop I was only in Mongolia for three weeks so I'm not a ger expert. But I don't believe they have trouble with wind. The whole thing is pretty heavy.

    @FloppyBishop Traditionally gers aren't anchored, and they do very well in the high winds on the Gobi.

    @DanGrossmanVideo That music is awesome! I've heard it before and have always been enchanted by it. Is there a name for that particular song? Can it be found on iTunes or on cd?

    Paul King has written a book about it and also how to manufacture a Yurt.
    "The complete Yurt Handbook"
    Have a look at logicbooks
    or at amazon

    @389293912 The pre-modern version was probably thick cloth rubbed with oil or fat.

    It didn't appear to be anchored to the ground in any way. I wonder how well they would perform in high winds.

    Great time lapse video - thank you. What did they put down for the floor? and then slept on?

  • @msggoodday
    @msggoodday 12 років тому

    1. What do they do with the floor? Leave it as grass? Rugs?
    2. Was this the summer house? Is the winter ger different as far as insulation goes?
    This was fascinating. Thank you.
