In a documentary that I've also seen on Mongolian Yurts, -(Don't know if it was the Julia Roberts one or not), -They used a little boy of their Community, -as a Living Paperweight. They put him up there on it's Roof, as they were constructing it, to Hold it Down against Gusts of Wind, etc. The Boy so Darted about. My main point here is, -that in this and other ways, (At least for a Yurt / Ger over a certain size), -Setting Up a Yurt is typically more than a One Person Job, -a Factor to consider. Perhaps most Yurts can still be Set Up by one person. But it may make for a Longer, Less Efficient Setup. [color:"black"] [/color] [email]Susan[/email]
