In this time-lapse movie, Mongolian nomads build an entire yurt in one hour

When you're living a nomadic lifestyle, you need to travel light. But that doesn't mean you can't have a deluxe roof above your head. Here, videographer Dan Grossman filmed Shagdarsuren Herelchuluun's family punching out a multiperson ger (or yurt) outside of northern Mongolia's Lake Hovsgol. The whole process took give or take 67 minutes, but here's the instant house's construction in two.
