Thank you for the informative video. I am semi seriously looking at making my own nylon/polyester tent and am just in the research phase at this time. Very well done and informative video. Thumbs up.

My hat's off to you for being so capable. When I was a kid (says the Boomer) everyone had a sewing machine in their house. Now only the cool houses still have people that can do stuff for themselves.

Wow! Best DIY tipi I have seen and I'm stunned. Man that is impressive and state of the art. The weight is incredibly light. I would be very interested in hearing how it worked in the field, maybe more info on the entire tipi production, etc. You did mention the company you ordered materials from they have videos too I believe you said. Very impressed and I'd love to make one myself.

If only I could sew... or my wife😂 Incredible job man!! I’d build want to build a bit smaller one and with dyneema.

I make my own tarp tents and your definitely going to want to use a polyester thread because it will last longer and it’s stronger. Your going to want to use a continuous filament thread or thread with a Tex of 40. Cotton thread breaks easily after being exposed to the elements and it’s overall not very durable. I do recommend a smaller sized needle 60 or 70 for just sewing the silnylon part and the bigger sized needle for reinforcement parts. Ripstop by the roll has much better prices from any place online, that’s with shipping included.

Hey Cory, sorry for the slow response - it's been awesome. Pretty happy with every piece of it so far.

Man, that is one awesome DIY. I’ve been looking into doing this build myself. Dynema sounds like a great material to make one out of. Maybe a bit expensive... Is that why you didn’t use Dynema? Is yours Ripstop Silnylon? Which string did you like most, polyester or nylon?I hope you all post more videos on this topic. Great job. Thanks 👍

Good job on making the DIY Tipi. When it was all said and done, did you find that you actually saved any money making your tipi tent vs just buying one from one of the many vendors that sell silnylon tipis?
@AltitudeOutdoors6 жыл бұрын
For sure it was cheaper. I guess it depends on how you value your time, but DIY projects are enjoyable and rewarding.
