$41,000 Yurt on Amazon

@dale74 I stay in a van (old minivan), but ummm.... I don't really consider that being homeless unless you are trying to fit a family inside it at night. I'm living fairly confortably, my buggest concern is a balance between privacy and getting a cellular reception. There are lots of people way off worst than me. That being said, if you lost your job, broke and just starting off in a van without any blankets and it's wintertime, it's legit a issue getting started off and not freezing to death. But that being said, I'm still targeting the guy in the doorway or alley thinking he is going to die soon. My big issue is, there are alot of them. Honeless population was booming over the summer, I made posts here noting the camps were growing larger and larger, and camps are people who could afford tents and sleeping bags. In the case of these guys, they are clueless to even that sort of foresight or know how.

@Motzu where do you live city state

@MethDozer I know how to make a tent stove. I'm fairly confident I can make what looks like a sleeve for a tent. I'm also brutally aware these things go up in flames, having been made to sit through safety videos.

This isn't the safety video but only video of a 10 man tent I could find on youtube. You can see how complex the stove pipe flaps are to where it contacts the tent.

And he uses the terminology wrong at the beginning of the video so is a noob to Fort Wainwright, Alaska (he was in the old Stryker unit that used to be there). That's the sort of tent that can take -90°F and keep you alive. Until it explodes in flames. I assure you I comprehend how to make a heater, seen plenty of videos, but last thing I need is to be in a cold weather enviroment and have my tent catch on fire. Just.... so much suck at that point. I'd get frostbite from my tears if I managed to escape in time. We are so scared of these tents catching fire we always have a guy up at night watching for just that (the fireguard).

@Motzu Id be way more confident in that canvas yurt with a stove in it than those nylon army tents.

@MethDozer It's multiple layers, and I can't recall what fabric it is. Army contracts put to local seamstresses to sew them up whenever one gets ripped, so my used one had a bunch of patches. I think some of it was just cloth.

It's technology ported over directly from Finland in it's war against the Soviets, so whatever they used then. Some silly general decided if the Finns could defeat the Soviets using Ahkios and these tents, so can we.... and then the technology just stagnated. Not even solar blankets or something clever in the design. Congress doesn't pay attention to update anything in Alaska. Pentagon doesn't pay attention either.

It was so bad, they made us do night vision training in Alaska, in the Summer, when the sun never went dark, and we all pointed out how stupid it was, and Division Command said they knew, but the Pentagon never paid attention to our protests. So we were stumbling around with a bright green light in our eyes in daylight acting like we were night navigating.
