The Mongolian yurt is somewhat similar to what the nomads in Tibet use...the "Ba". It's made of the hairs of black yaks. These tents will house an entire family and their belongings. The tent is heated with a yak dung stove. Since many regions of Tibet are above the tree line, dried yak dung is used as fuel. Very suitable when thinking from an environmentalist view...recycle.

The 2 baghana (support poles) only come into play when setting up, or when there's stress on the frame (snow load or high wind). Often, they're left up all the time... A chimney usually goes through one section of the ring (tono) at the top.Dan

what covers the very top? It looked from the video that it was left uncovered. Wouldn't rain and snow get in?
