please pardon my ignorance but what exactly is a "yurt". I'm intrigued

i'm not too sure myself, but i made sure it has 4 walls before i agreed. and i know there is a wood stove to keep warm. there are no showers but i'm counting on a toilet (that flushes). stay tuned for an upcoming update with the details.

i am moderately worried...

they're basically just fancy tents.

You can borrow my pack if you like although it might be a little bigger than you need.
But it's purple.
If you can stand the colour, it will do just fine.

great, that would be awesome. how big is it. i was thinking 40-60l would be sufficient but would use bigger (to save $100)

I don't really know what the capacity is...
I've used in on 1-2 night hikes.
Do you need it this weekend?

[grrrlnextdoor]

yup, this is the big weekend. can i pick it up sometime friday evening? i have to pick up my car from the shop at 4pm so i can meet u after that, maybe we can grab tea or something if you have no plans while we're at it? though i do have to make it to mec some point (maybe i should do that first if we do tea). let me know!

that sounds like so much fun! When I get back can we have trips like that and have winter snuggles in yurts!?

[grrrlnextdoor]

totally!!! (though i've been doctor-forbidden off exercise since....but we'll take it slow) ;)
