@Anson Rey i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

@Anson Rey It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my ass :D

[@ansonrey9234]

@Lyric Lawson You are welcome =)

[@AnnemarieOG]

what about toilet and shower? for those prices/night I'd expect a good indoor toilet/bathroom. Very nice though otherwise

[@profesorbooty]

I was wondering where you pooop

[@thaddeusmaurmauex1846]

The same place people did there business before the bathroom

[@thaddeusmaurmauex1846]

Hence the name “OFF-GRID”

[@jamesdunn4072]

What do you do for the bathroom and showers?

[@jdray]

I'd like to understand the challenges of finding a properly-zoned piece of property for something like this. If the units are all dry and off-grid, does that help open up the types of land you can buy for this sort of endeavor?

[@thegreatinfinityfamily]

hi

[@myYouTube1travel]

There's electricity for the refrigerator?

[@hanwinogrond6397]

I appreciate what you're sharing but I'm always curious about the details: How did you get it permitted? How do you handle the bathroom? How was the base deck built? How do you keep it cool in the summer? Things like that. Also, I'm pretty sure that stove is oversized. A smaller one would be better for not overheating the yurt, especially if you have 8 people in it.

[@thegreatinfinityfamily]

hi

[@TiffanyIngram]

I thank the KZbin rabbit-hole gods that they led me to your channel. This is the exact thing that I’m wanting to get into. Right now I’m in Step 1) Save my cash monies 💵 and learn everything that I can. 📚 Thanks for making fun content to watch!!!!!!! ✌🏼

[@terralandprestige3246]

All the best bro

[@OranJuno]

I don't know if it's just on my end, but in your videos, the music in the transition sections are so much louder than your voice. I file like I'm adjusting my volume a lot watching these videos.

[@Robuilt]

Noted! Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback!

[@sterlingmichaels]

Agreed but most of the TV shows and movies that I watch who are seasoned professionals are not any better, sadly.

[@andrewkane8554]

Hi, awesome place! I was curious on how you book cleanings between guests? GC Junction/Valle is literally in the middle of nowhere lol. How do you find anyone to clean?

[@lawnandlight]

Hey Rob. Awesome spot there. If you put a mini split or 2 in there, do you think it would stay cool?

[@sndypaty0507]

I’m here for the enthusiastic funny and informative videos! And you always deliver! 😎 your sense of humor is what cracks me up! Great job! Great edits btw 👍🏼 hope to see a new minimalistic project down the road 💁🏻‍♀️ 🔥

[@FinancialTutor]

Great video as always! Would you ever consider partnering up with someone from the midwest?

[@Robuilt]

Hmm, the short answer is maybe. I can't really go into this same niche with other partners out of respect for my current ones, as we plan on expanding further. Other forms of real estate though, perhaps!

[@th.8868]

My most important question first - How to you determine where you want to put spaces like this that are "off the grid" and if they will be profitable? I mean airdna might not be that helpful if there are only a handful of other places in the middle of the desert,etc. Did you also buy the land/lot that this yurt sits on/I assume so? I would think during the summer/warmer months people may not want to stay in a hot deserted area w/ no AC, so how is this performing during the hotter months?

[@ryry2487]

Remember to cook all your human meat to at least 165° F internal temperature to avoid the zombie apocalypse.

[@deanrojas]

I always see your AirBNB's super cool to put a face to the man behind them!

[@Robuilt]

Well hello! Thanks for watching, Dean!

[@leestrobridge7108]

This is so cool! We started hosting with HipCamp in VT on 90 Acres with massive views of Mt. Mansfield last year. I'm thinking we should expand to more than the single glamping tent we have for next summer. And get on AirBnB too! Thank you Rob

[@Justicia007]

@Lee Strobridge How do you do in the off season? I guess the problem with glamping in the Northeast is the season is shorter.

[@leestrobridge7108]

@@Justicia007 pretty much everywhere has an off season for camping. There is 5 months in the northeast that book well. We have a small wood stove in the tents that help extend the season.

[@jakeshen8071]

What kind of toilet system do you use for the yurt?

[@coolmoodee]

I own 2 30' ft. Yurts on my property in wisconsin. Bought from Colorado Yurts . Insulated floors for the winter as well. Ive got a generator for both yurts and ran electrical wiring with outlets to them all. Im working with the manufacturer about getting a yurt hallway designed to both yurt connected via hallway . Should be epic .

[@AkireMaru]

How did this go? We are also looking to build a “hallway” between tents so we can separate the bathroom from the main tent. Not sure if it’s possible with a glamping dome

[@frankenstein3163]

Nice setup ty for showing. I'm planning on 24/7 camping around snow and rain. I'll be storing about a months+ of dry food(rice, flower, noodles, cereal, oat's) in a tint/tarp shelter or in a bear prof in tree's. So my questions is what do you store your dry food in ? I cant decide between re usable zip lock bags or Maison jar's. On one hand 10+ Maison jars add up in lb's. But I don't know how vacuum/air tight the best zip lock bags("rezip") are.

[@AndreiFantastic]

he rents these out.

[@HDBnB1]

Can you make a detailed video on the process and cost of building one of these??

[@Robuilt]

I am actually making a detailed 10-hour course :)

[@clacc0]

@@Robuilt hey has your course dropped yet?

[@apost099]

How do you power that fridge?

[@monicaoneil2069]

How many windows are in this yurt, and does it have insulation on the floor ? Thank you 😊

[@thomasjml82]

Super inspirational! I have a 40 acre ranch in the middle of Joshua tree national preserve. We got some rvs but dang. I wanna build one!

[@josepablo24413]

I've been looking into buying land to do this in Joshua tree or 29 palms..but it seems they only allow permanent structures to be permitted, how would you Airbnb a yurt?..can you do it if you have a permanent structure first then add the Glamp site after?

[@tl9859]

When buying land for this kind of setup, what do you need to look for from a permitting perspective?

[@LawOfAttractionExplained]

I just bought 30 acres. It was important that I found something with no restrictions and no association

[@Seekyahusha]

Stephanie, America's Medium where sis? My family and I are looking to go off grid

[@sarahchurchwell3643]

I want to know about the memory foam mattress that are in the cozy area? Where can I purchase them?

[@missoldsoul]

Awesome yurt! Love the vibe and all the thoughtful touches throughout. Your humor is so refreshing too! Thanks for keeping it light and breezy while you edumacate your subscribers! lol I do have a couple questions: 1) how do you power the mini fridge? 2) what's the bathroom situation like?

[@kimberiysmarketstrategy]

Solar & back up battery

[@YourLasVegasAesthetician]

Bad Radical Rob:) Great Video. Love the setup!

[@musicbeautylovee]

what do you do for bathroom needs?

I’m asking the same question 🙋‍♀️

[@ElianaChinea]

This yurt is massive rob! Whoa! So many possibilities... Show us the airstream next!

[@Robuilt]

It's a really inspiring space whether it's empty or furnished. ANYTHING is possible with these Mongolian huts-I've seen some pretty crazy interiors.

[@lindamyfatcatcow2606]

@@Robuilt Yes please show us the Airstream! She’s beautiful!

[@jamajuice1]

Hi _ I really enjoyed the tour of your space. I've started to think about building my own yurt as well. Can you recommend tips for finding the right property build on? (tie into water and power lines vs septic or well) , city build permitting. Also for the construction, what company did you purchase the yurt from (simpleterra?). Were you able to easily find workers to put the yurt together on site? Did you have to pour or build a foundation to to place the yurt on? What is something you wish you'd done differently with the space (in hindsight)?

[@jonroth9796]

Beautiful yurt! What sort of insulation in there in the wall?

[@MeineJurte]

Wonderful, it's always great to see videos about yurts. We also plan and manufacture yurts, handcrafted and of the highest quality. Greetings from Austria :)

[@zahiraulloa]

Hi Rob! This was awesome 👏 is your glamping course still available?

[@dantem9315]

Great video,like the added sexy B roll. 😀 wondering about your thoughts on the yurt for Texas 100 degrees or more. I love the idea but just not sure I would get the rentals to cover the cost. Would like to talk in private and f you have time. My time frame is 12/22. The land will be ready for build out.

[@llapollo52]

where do people go to the bathroom?

[@Robuilt]

There's an outdoor off-grid style bathroom outside of the mahal. Check out the bathrooms in my last video!

[@t8music]

Do you have a cost breakdown for the yurt?

[@joshwilliams3375]

Hey Rob! I recently started watching your videos, I am wondering what made you choose the types of structures you have for clamping, tent, yurts etc I also noticed you don't have a dome on any of your properties. Would love to hear your thoughts and ideas about why you made these choices.

[@klime938]

U should import a giant redwood log and turn it into a glamping setup or tiny house

[@cstrutherskgs]

I wonder how check in works. It’s off the grid so do people just show up?

[@PrinceAzureZZZ]

I will forever say moony now! Every chance I get haha 😆

[@eduardosaucedo9902]

Great video! I have been binging all your content, your properties are all awesome. One thing I keep wondering is whether you need permits for off grid Glamping sites in Joshua Tree or not??

[@iidruii]

Where do you get your water supply? Also, did you have to build out a septic tank? Lastly, and is your solar setup enough to supply all your electrical needs?

[@audiooblivion8446]

You've got me hooked and ready to pull the trigger. My only concern is security. HOW DO YOU AVOID THEFT, VANDELISM in rural sites?

[@mycontainergarden]

how are the building codes? where I live its insane! Do you have to have an existing structure to put up one of these yurts?

[@essie9500]

We are just starting planning our area we have bought two belles and are getting quotes on plumbing. We are a bit ignorant with knowing about the running and maintenance of the comp toilet. Can you offer any info? Also, as we are located in Aust we are too scared to install a combustion stove for fear of a bush fire. Would electric blankets be sufficient in a canvas tent?

[@kevinbedoya8631]

Can you make a video on how did you occur the land and what that cost you

[@enduroeveryday1325]

How do you do site security for your glamping sites? Can you do a video on security in general?

[@MasaMuneDenadoro]

Rob, what are the county regulations and permitting on something like this? I know in Joshua Tree, they put the kibosh on these.

[@rowanwindsong]

There's a lot of people doing this right now in Joshua tree. What did you hear?

[@MasaMuneDenadoro]

@@rowanwindsong this isn't new. Sb County instituted permitting for STRs and in that ordinance, yurts, trailers, and other non permanent structures are outlawed as strs. If people are doing it in joshua tree, they are doing it off the books

[@logicandwisdom]

@@MasaMuneDenadoro They recently offered a permit for these alternative structures but it's under review.

[@kvirzi]

What are the land costs? Did you purchase land? lease land? rent the space? What is the cost on that part?

[@jessicameza6600]

It looks so pretty.

[@YourFriendAndy]

Super cool Yurt as expected! But the real joy of this video is the bonus T-REX ARMS for those who stick around until the end 💪

[@phayes9346]

Is there a way to keep moisture level down in a yurt? Also is there a way to open a window or exhaust fumes or cooking other than opening door

[@TheAvidGardenerNM]

Thanks for the video. Where did you order the yurt from?

[@Yonti_]

Always find your videos super funny. Love the little edit add ins you do. Do you have a list of go-to products you find yourself buying a lot for your properties? What's your process? Thanks!

[@Robuilt]

I do have a list of go-to products. It's a feature I'm working on with my site. Soon I'll have a tab that says "shop my homes"! Stay tuned, I'm sure I'll announce it at some point.

[@mangaxrisk669]

How was the bathrooms?

[@ohshesayydee]

How'd you choose what to build where? Could this be done in Joshua Tree with a construction loan. Or do I need to own the land, pay mortgage on it and provide plans for a yurt that I'd buy outright and own with my own money?

[@Robuilt]

No, you couldn't really do this in Joshua Tree-legally anyway. Those who do are usually skirting the ordinances out there. Overall, I'd recommend going the national park route though! And no, I don't think you can do this with a construction loan sadly. There wouldn't be enough tangible or liquid assets for a bank to seize.

[@evanmacleod3330]

What sort of bathroom situation do you have for this? Is it an outhouse or like a cartridge

[@cauyawolfe4724]

Quick question; was the whole thing including the furnishings 35k? Or was it just the cost of the base package/setup?

[@Marlon-lu9bf]

Dude that YURT is so cool and beautiful in the inside! DdI you design the interior yourself or have an interior designer do so, because either way it’s one hell of a place!

[@Real.Estate.Report]

Sweet Yurt! $35k sounds expensive but if you're brining in over $250/night, you're doing alright!

Yup, if you run the numbers on a 100% booked month, you'll quickly see how much of a home run these are.
