I want one. Or maybe 5. Gypsy camp anyone?
Brilliant, what an inspiring design! I want one too!
Yeah this article fails to acknowledge that Americans have had many vernacular nomadic homes, from conestoga wagons to airstream trailers and renovated school buses, ultralight backpacking tents, even cars, to a certain extent. These yurts are not fulfilling any unmet needs that "nomadic" Americans are imagined to have. I doubt you could fit one in a backpack or as checked luggage, and unless you put wheels on it you could't pull it with a bicycle. If you already have a truck with which to haul it, then you don't need it, you just need a tarp and you have a perfectly good mobile shelter. It's aesthetically pretty cool, but ultimately it is just a pretentious rich hippie version of something we already have.
Well said Andrea!
I'm with Andrea on this - it is pretentious and overdesigned. There is no real benefit and it does nothing new - a Ger is far bigger and also more importantly WARMER - I would not fancy spending a winter night in one of these.
