Building a Mongolian Ger

We are building a small ger at the Guru Eco Camp so we can see the set-up process. The ger will be taken apart the next day; it's just a demonstration.

Priceless

[@NancyIoannidis]

Thank you! Yes, it was a great experience. We actually stayed in several during our tour and it was very surprising how convenient and comfortable they were.

[@MeineJurte]

Wonderful, it's always great to see videos about yurts and yurt living :) We also plan and manufacture mobile yurts suitable for winter, of the highest quality. Greetings from Austria :)

[@NancyIoannidis]

Yurts made in Austria! Amazing world ;) would love to take a look. Can you give me your website?

[@bbjagaa]

The door is also the latest addition, there was no doors before, just a thick felt the size of a door would hang. Thank you

[@NancyIoannidis]

Thank you. That's interesting!

[@sintafikom99]

Nice video ! Greetings from Indonesia

The old lady expanding her horizons goes to show you your never too old to learn.

[@indigodragon7129]

Modern stretch covers like what is used on vehicle covers could be made and treated with ultra ever dry that could weather proof a yurt yet allow it to breath.

[@NancyIoannidis]

Indigo Dragon71 I was surprised how comfortable and convenient the yurts were! Lots of options to hung things. It was fun 😉

[@andimalloutofbubblegum1063]

You can use house wrap like Tyvek.

[@ramlahabdulghani8581]

That's good video

[@plinkbottle]

A gap at the bottom how they plug that?

[@carolynjordan4633]

How are those things tied down?

[@MrHenden]

Hey, is it possible to use some of your video from Mongolia in a movie for children about how to build a yurt? This is a non-commercial film that will be shown in children's associations and kindergartens in Norway.

[@NancyIoannidis]

Yes, please do. That sounds like a very worthwhile project. Best of luck.

[@steppib.4598]

Nice people 😊

[@toosiyabrandt8676]

HI Rain would be an issue! The felt would become waterlogged and possibly mouldy. I wonder what their solutions were for that? Maybe lanolin from the fleece? Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua.

[@lkhagwadorj]

Trust me. Mongolia is one of the driest places on earth !

[@kimchoa4864]

very valid point.

[@user-xy6pl5hg8i]

Просто класс !!!

[@cliffordsikora9841]

What is the difference between a Ger and a Yurt ?

[@NancyIoannidis]

Mongolian gers have beam supports for the roof crown wheel so they can have a less steep roof than yurts which have no support.

[@cliffordsikora9841]

@@NancyIoannidis , yes. As you replied I watched the building of a Yurt, and saw no center beam. Thank you

[@dancermgl739]

They are same thing! Just has different names 😊

[@sigutjo]

Did she say: "While their having a way with the animals." ? What's that supposed to mean?

[@toosiyabrandt8676]

HI I think she said ' While they are away with the animals' Presumably shepherding them . Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua.

Where is the running water supply?.

[@NancyIoannidis]

At the time the people we visited were bringing water manually from a main station. The tourist gers had functional bathrooms, but we walked to the showers. It actually was fun seeing each other going over with the towels over our shoulders. The weather was nice and it was a unique situation for a short time - we may feel different long term 😉

[@mayazeewonder6349]

Like the Kyrgyz Yurt. 🇰🇬

[@jansveen]

I like the guide. She can guide me whenever on the yurt.

[@MichaelJohnson-mb1io]

She's a self-centered snob.

[@Dov_ben-Maccabee]

GER! yurt is russian bastardization of word

[@jacobeksor6088]

Similar with Eskimo

[@Dov_ben-Maccabee]

Need airag to bless new ger!

[@NancyIoannidis]

This was only for demonstration purposes. I was not fortunate enough to see close-up an actual ger being set up, only from the roadside. It would have been great to see a blessing of a new ger, but in any case, I really enjoyed spending the nights of our trip in these authentic structures.

[@kangmur9771]

13:08 hahaha ... so funny

[@billquinn6224]

It is spelled Yurk, okay?

[@NancyIoannidis]

Thank you for the comment Bill, but how did you get that spelling? We were told ger or yert, plus I looked up Yurk and it doesn't come up.

[@Dov_ben-Maccabee]

NEVER step on the threshold of the door when you enter a ger - it means you are stepping on the throat of your host. Men enter to the left and women to the right.

[@NancyIoannidis]

That's very interesting and good to know... I would never want to give the impression of stepping on my host's throat! Plus, it would not be smart to eat any of the offerings after that😅 Thank you for the info😊👋

Try speaking Mongolian and see how many words you mispronounce.

[@Tourarounwarsaw]

13:00 What the....???

[@NancyIoannidis]

If you mean the hard time the guys had trying to put on the roof cover, it's because it was really heavy 🙂

[@Tourarounwarsaw]

@@NancyIoannidis Well, even the second time they succeeded it came down again, but they ignored.

[@bayarsosor2070]

It`s name is urkh /өрх/ night and rain down close it.

[@syednazim8254]

There is still room to improve the making. Instead of using cotton top, they should use tarpaulin to make it water proof.

[@kurtbaier6122]

Easy peesie

[@bodypumpable]

The lady at the beginning when the man is tying the walls together said “it doesn’t take much talent”. So rude

[@tobias5515]

So true I picked that one up myself. Soooo rude!

[@kromeknightrblx7353]

Actually it is easy

[@mrknotthall]

Lady at 6:00 doesn't look good. She looks like she's ready to fall over. Probably a democrat too. Where do they get all this stuff for the Ger? Is there a Home Depot on the other side of the mountain?

[@NancyIoannidis]

Yes, the Yurt Depo 😊Actually, there was a section of the market dedicated to products such as these, as well as stir ups, horse harnesses, and Mongolian boots! I know you are joking, but I felt privileged to see authentic goods like these being sold for use instead as tourist items. Things were changing, so it may be not this way anymore.
