Dear Lonnie. This particular video is one of my favorite of all yt videos. Your monotone, deep, masculine voice is so relaxing, so calm and amazing. In combination with foley noises, it is key for my endless relaxation, meditation, and deep sleep. Always when I am nervous, your videos help me to calm down and find the true meaning of humanism, nature, and beauty. You have no idea, how amazing is your general appearance, stamina, and charisma.

This video is another reason to thank Dave and Brooke. I have been wanting to make a teepee for 50 years. I think I can do this...as a kid I thought I needed buffalo hides, then cow hides, then canvas. I never considered using a tarp. I will send you a picture by next year. A dream come true. Thanks and bless you both. If it weren't for Brooke and Dave I would have missed out. If it's good enough for Lonnie and Connie, it's way, way, good enough for me.

I have made years ago, a poly tarp tepee, that i have used for years. I had put a dryer drum in the center and had many cook out and fires in the center, it was warm. I used a 10x20ft tarp,altho i didnt cut mine at all and just folded in the access. I got the idea from bushcraftonfire channel, years ago. This was nice to see how you set one up . Yours is more elaborate and well done, mine was just wrap a tarp around poles, but it worked well. lol . That is sweet man, love it , just a center pole. I maybe making one of these for sure.

My dad could barely walk and he hobbled up to the tepee one time and i placed a grill over the dryer drum and cooked porkchops with my Dad. I had folding chairs up there as well.

I lived in one like this for a year. Ended up homeless in tge beginning of winter during a pretty bad storm with freezing rain and snow. Add as much insulatiin as possible. Moss, leaves, even line the interior walls with any extra clothes or bedding you can spare if possible. I also dug my fireplace into the ground and built more of a fireplacr like structure to create thermal mass and if you can, keep a pot of water or beens or chilli going. You wont have to get up every 15 minutes to add more wood and maintains the temperature inside. Oh, and another priceless addition, a funnel or makr one with a bottle and a length of water hose running away from the tipi through the wall. Im sure any man can figure out how this would be priceless at 2am when its 12° f with 30mph winds and freezing rain outside.lmao. Last thing you want to do is go outside right then😂.

I just spent a night in an enclosed tarp shelter night before last and I have spent many nights in the shelter. If you have not already done so, you may enjoy watching the video where I show how to set up a simple tarp into an enclosed "tent". the tarp configuration in that video is the one I spent the night in night before last. No there is no threat of running out of air as the shelter is not sealed. The bottom remains entirely open.

Thank you for those kind words. My wife and I just got back from two weeks of camping in this tipi and it was simply wonderful to come in out of the cold in to the warm heated tipi. We even went through a severe wind storm that did damage in the towns around Alaska. I was really concerned that the wind was going to shred that tarp material but the tipi held up amazingly well without any damage. The wind got so terible in the night though that I finally took the center pole down and just laid the tip on top of us. We were then able to get back to sleep and sleep until later that morning when the wind velocity had tapered off somewhat and we were then able to stand the pole up again. i was very impressed with the tipi's ability to handle the wind without damage

That tarp tipi is nice. I love tipi's and found they are very nice in colder weather. I built a couple tipi's using tape and it works much better than I thought it would. I've only posted videos of two tipi's till now but working on another design that will be more practical. Live in Texas now and the weather isn't as cold here as it is up that way but these old bones like to stay warm. First night I stayed in my bigger tipi, it got down to 20 degrees F but with a small fire, it stayed warm and toasty. Tipi's are time tested and have well proven themselves to me. Thanks for posting.

@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival 8 жыл бұрын

+onewyatt1 Thank you. I agree that the tipi is a great cold weather shelter. Because of it's unique conical design it minimizes the higher areas and maximizes the lower areas. In a tipi design, since heat rises and there is very little area for it to rise to, therefore it is warmer down below where the body spends most of it's time.

@onewyatt1 8 жыл бұрын

Haven't thought about that aspect of heat retention. I know a very small open fire provides great inferred heat and it reflects back down and to the middle which removes the need to rotate to keep all sides warm. Not sure yet how a stove will far as the inferred aspect, hoping it works the same. Thinking the stove would keep fire longer and smoke out better. The lack of need to have large smoke flaps will likely out weight any problem the stove may have in throwing off heat. I do plan to try a trampoline canvas floor, any fluid spilled inside will just run thru it. Can't be as bad as stomping mud holes in side.

Wow, I will preface this by saying awesome and thank you so much. I am a carpenter, artist, inventor, and past outdoorsman looking for a future survival shelter which makes sense both cost wise and use wise, this is it. This is not the first video I have watched of yours but you did so well here I just had to thank you. Thanks! well worth the time to watch.

+John Davidson Thank you. This video is one part of a three part series including making the stove and installing the stove if you were not aware and are interested. Glad you like the tipi. It has worked out great this winter for me. I have spent eight nights in it this winter with temps as cold as 4 degrees below zero Fahrenheit (-20C) It was quite toasty as long as I kept the stove going.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You inspired me to make this week with a propane tank wood stove. Doing my first burn in the tent now. Its warm enough to make me sweat.

Considering the cost of tents today, this is both economical as well as usable. Best of all, one can easily repair this tent easily, in the field. Once again you give us a do-able project that will usable year round and serve us very well. Thanks for the work, and the project anyone can do and use!
