Hexayurt Construction and Living

Wolf and Pai Mae

Sunday, 11am @ The Lake

Hexayurts are being built by the hundreds now... and not just for Burning Man! Join this interactive presentation to learn how to make one, how to transport it, their advantages/disadvantages, variations, and making them the ideal living space for Burns.

A 'Hexayurt' is an igloo-shaped tent made out of insulation board that is proving to be a near-ideal tent for camping in extreme weather conditions -- the burning desert of Black Rock City or sub-freezing temperatures of Frostburn.  At Burning Man 2014 there were at least 1500 yurts in use, and growing by hundreds every year.  Come to our forum and learn why these hand-made tents are so well suited for Burner camping, how you can make one, live in one comfortably, and how much they cost.  Did you know they can be air conditioned? :-)

Even if you know about Hexayurts, join us to learn about Velcro technology and how to make a "totally tapeless" yurt.
