Investing in land + they call me a mountain man

Yurts kind of are a framed tent.
But they are very strong.
You have a ring at the base and top of the vertical walls to which a lattice structure is affixed. The roof structure attaches to a compression ring at the top.

Colorado Yurt company makes yurts with modern materials and have packages that can withstand some real heavy snowfall and up to 125 MPH winds.
 
Good luck Heber, set some goals, divide them up into steps and get to it! I'd be out there too but my job relies on red lights and congestion. Someday I won't need that job, but for a while yet...

One way to build a country house in stages is to build a 1-room house pretty quick, not the best quality. Minimal wiring or plumbing. Then you live in that cheaply for a few seasons while you build the real house. When you move into the real house, the old one becomes a shed or shop.

Another thing I saw lately was building a modest house, then later building an identical one facing the first at a moderate distance. Then you're building your dream house somewhere else. Finally, roof over the space between the two smaller houses and you have a large shed or barn, and can gut the old houses for more open covered space.
 
When I was in my early 20's I decided to follow my dream and 'go bush' and went and worked on a grazing property despite been a city slicker.

Due to many reasons it didn't last a long time but I am so glad I have it go.

I hope you are able to do the same but with better luck. :thumbup:
 
Mongolia can be hell on earth and they've seemed to suit the locals needs for thousands of years.
I, too, have this dream of a back to the country style of life for my retirement. The recent economic troubles have put it on hold, but I'm looking into southern oregon. A few head of stock, a vegetable garden and a hobby that pays a few bills is all I desire out of life at this point.
Good look with your endeavors.
