The yurts of antiquity, as evidenced by artifacts from ancient Persia, were likely smaller, very portable shelters used for extended hunting expeditions. We named this camping yurt prototype after Baluchistan, a region in present day Iran known for its tent dwelling, herding peoples. This yurt can easily sleep four adults and is ideal for ice fishing, hunting, or even as a childrens' playhouse. We built it with our expected baby in mind. The low ceiling makes it easy to heat and the separate components when broken down can fit into most any vehicle.
