Reply to comment by Donkey-Harlequin in Does anyone living near Boston live in a camper, yurt, or similar type of home? by stricly_business

Do you know what a Yurt is? Do you know what the climate of Mongolia is?

Yeah I do. But it sounds like we are talking about a person who is basically homeless. The yurt dwellers are a community of people. They share resources and are prepared for the weather. I thought it prudent to make facts known. Just because people who have done it their entire lives can do it. Doesn’t mean a person going out for the first time, long term is ready just because they watched a YouTube video.

The homeless community in this city can be some of the most clever resourceful survivalists around. Its not like they get shipped to LA for the winter. Many homeless people have been homeless for quite some time, and believe it or not there is a sort of order within their own community. I’ve encountered homeless that prefer the lifestyle they’re living.

But this person is talking about a trailer, yurt, or similar. I’d tell them to take $50 and get a train down south. At least it’s not freezing. That’s one less thing to worry about. It sounds like they have some means. But want to live off the grid or in a simple way. I’d say not up here.
