I can see these popping up all over the show at Burning Man. Maybe the guru dude just knows his audience?

There are already better "hexayurt" designs for BM better-designed to block/reflect all sunlight, made with foilized foam boards.

Have you ever actually occupied a hexayurt throughout a full summer day at burning man?

My limited experience was that the typical one as executed @BM is just a dark, sweaty, oven. Excellent insulation by itself is a trap. Once you insulate a space with polyiso, you need good ventilation and heat removal. It's not really a good match for something so ad-hoc.

Negative, but they appear popular. My guess is that they buy you a few extra hours of coolness in the morning if you open/close openings at the right time. Obvs you don't want to be in a hermetically sealed box ever.

A hexayurt with a standard window air conditioner powered by a generator is glorious. Ours was tall enough to stand in and also had designer wallpaper. A 12V-powered filtered ventilation system meant the AC didn't need to be turned on until close to noon.

How did you affix the wallpaper?

Wallpaper paste.

I am surprised that it sticks! We'll have to try that with ours; the manufacturer logos are not such a pleasant look.

You do need ventilation, but that's not hard; a small swamp cooler (plus a box fan) kept us as cool as we wanted to be:

These aren't ideal as they look fairly permanent. I don't see the labor or a time-lapse video of assembly or takedown.

Risking sounding like Mr. Wonderful: I can't tell if it's aspirational, pre-product marketing or a parody. If it wasn't a joke, then they've just reinvented the travel trailer without the convenience or the trailer. My conclusion then is that it's an elaborate trolling.

Looks like you can stay at the location where that video was filmed: Glamping at Jupe Redwoods on AirBnB: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/700752395276229298

It does feel likes this is straight out of a Silicon Valley episode.

You took the words from my mouth :) Selling tents to clueless SV customers with disposable cash, with a not-so-veiled promise they can rent them out on Airbnb.

It's the lime scooters of "housing": no permits, no safety, lawless, convenient, short-sighted.

The guru guy, and his tasteless leveraging of someone's personal tragedy to his own grift is incredibly out of touch – provided even that is not made up.

Plumbing is too hard! We will just leave it out of our MVP!

The number of times they referred to the “experience” as “crazy” or “insane”. The interviewer chucking in dundrearyisms (OK, maybe just situational code-switching) like “crib” and “right on, right on”, and “mama taught me right”.

Parody of summat, but I’m afeared of what. Something from an AI marketing department this way comes.

"It's like we're bending space, right?" ROFL.

What is a “dundrearyism“?

Water under the dam at this point, what what?

"A twisted and consequentially nonsensical aphorism, such as "birds of a feather gather no moss"."

"Named after Lord Dundreary, a foolish aristocrat in Tom Taylor's play Our American Cousin (1858), who utters remarks of this kind; +‎ -ism."

from https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Dundrearyism

Is this a parody? Are people spending 25k on a tent? Holy smokes.
