I get these around every two months or so, I open and close these about 200 times a day and wear out the velcro, But amazon is the cheapest source, free shipping and under the price of the local store
Customer Review: Velcro like Gorilla Glue!
This is a great item! I had to replace the leather sheath that came with the Leatherman I had bought. The Velcro on this sheath is "IRON MAN" strong. The style is attractive and the body has great support. Try it out, you won't be disappointed...It's a Leatherman!

It does not matter whether it is called a yurt or a gur, this round tent built around a wooden frame has been popular for hundreds of years. Today, because of its practicality, esthetic appeal, convenience and inexpensiveness, the yurt has now become popular in the USA and Canada, as well as Europe.

Since before recorded history, the nomads of the Central Asian steppes, including Mongolia, Kazakhstan and other states of the former Soviet Union, have made their homes in the circular tents called yurts, or sometimes gurs. They are made from easily obtained materials, including lightweight wooden timbers and felted wool. For most yurts in North America, the framework is composed of a wood lattice, over which canvas is stretched.

An interesting tradition about yurt etiquette in Mongolia has been noted. According to local customs, it is considered impolite to knock on the wooden door of a yurt. Instead, the way one gets the permission from the owner to enter is to shout the phrase "hold your dogs" and then wait outside patiently until the portal is opened. Of course, the ability to speak Mongolian is an asset at these times.

Surely, though, these are not reasons why the yurt has been booming in popularity in North America from Alaska and Hawaii to California and New England. More likely the answer to this question involves esthetics. Simply to look at a yurt is to partially understand the psychology of this structure. Surely J.R.R. Tolkein, the author of The Lord of the Rings, and his fictional hobbits would approve of its round shape. There are no sharp angles like a tipi or some other tents. It has even been speculated that one benefit of a yurt is spiritual. That is because there are no corners for harmful spirits to hide.

Whether there is a metaphysical reason or not, it cannot be disputed that yurts have become increasingly popular among people with a tendency toward spiritual, metaphysical or alternative ideas, such as meditation, yoga, Reiki and similar interests. You can also find artist studios, play spaces for children, saunas, workshop rooms and exercise areas housed within the circular walls of a yurt. But this is far from the only realm in which these buildings have taken hold. Many state parks, including those from Virginia, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey and Rhode Island in the East to Oregon, Washington, Colorado and Montana in the west, are making yurts available in campground for rentals.

It is significantly easier and less expensive to set up a yurt in your back yard than it is to construct a cabin or cottage of more conventional design. This may be why even some bed and breakfast operations are now offering yurts as comfortable, albeit unusual accommodations for their guests.
