"Nordic" tipi [made in China] and matched stove = $4000 + Tune in to Far North Bushcraft and Survival and learn how to make this setup for less than $100... At the end of the day this sort of knowledge is priceless.

I realize you did this years ago, but for future reference and any one else who might be reading this, you can use a line of glue just inside the line that you want to cut. You can use Elmer's glue, but that does take a while to dry. There is a product found in the sewing sections of fabric and craft stores and even some Walmarts called "Fray Check", it's a type of glue that does just that, it keeps fabrics from fraying. It's sort of like fast super glue. You can run that along your cut line and let it dry a few minutes before you cut. It's much faster than sewing and it really seals in the threads so they don't fray off. Also, for something as tough as fiber glass and Velcro where it's hard to push sewing pins through, get a box of paper clips and just clip the velcro where you want it. Or you can use the spring clothes pins like mini clamps to hold the velcro in place. If using paper clips do not forget to *remove* the paper clips before it gets to the needle! Do not sew over pins either if that's what you're using. If that needle strikes a pin, it can bend and get caught under the throat plate and cause a nasty jamb which can also throw off the timing of the machine ruining it. The needle could also break sending the sharp end right at your face! So remove pins before they reach the needle of the machine.

I don't comment too often, but I have say your videos are extremely informative, entertaining and just downright enjoyable. Keep 'em coming! God Bless.

This is good stuff. And you didn't even say "tactical" even once! That's appreciated. :)

Hi Lonnie, not only is this video extremely instructive but it's also entertaining. I appreciate your detailed instructions and your calm demeanor. Will definitely share with my outdoor friends. Thanks for taking the time to post this.

i don't comment or interact often on social media but honestly deserves a like a Sub and a comment... keep it up

I don't often make comments but credit where credit is due, it's great video and tutorial. Thank you for making and sharing with us.

The pace of the videos and the thoroughness make them easy to learn. If i had to guess, this is a man that has learned his life lessons the best way which is trial and error.

Hello Lonnie, Very well thought out series. My 21 yo daughter has overheard a couple of your videos and now watches them as well. That is truly priceless. You are very kind to share you knowledge in an accessible way,

Use duct on the outline of the fabric when you cut to prevent fraying. Then you can roll edge and sew.

for the window idea; why not make a 2 layer application, one layer of mosquito net or screen and one layer of clear plastic - giving you venting and protection from skeeters lol !

Greetings from Buenos Aires my friends.

Thank you for this series. This is a doable project for someone like me. Limited budget, limited ability to deal with a heavy walled tent & "traditional" tent stove. FWIW..... I "see" another use beyond hunting camp or winter car camping. Here, we are subject to hurricanes in summer & ice storms in winter that take out the power. Sometimes for 2 weeks or more. This is economical enough to make, practice with it, and then store for use in the backyard when the grid goes down. A warm place to stay following an ice storm. A dry place to cook following either event. And an alternative to going to a crowded, noisy, shelter, if, heaven forbid, a storm damages the house. I know i'd rather be "camping" in my backyard, if I have the choice. About the only other material prep work that I can see, would be having a stash of dry wood. Much of the rest of the goods needed, could come from the house, itself. From blankets off the beds to cans of beans & soup from the pantry. (Folks with wells & grid down would have to add potable water & sanitation solutions. Ours is a Sawyer SP181, 5 gal bucket, water filter kit & a Luggable Loo 5 gal bucket toilet kit.) Again, thank you. Hope that others will see the full potential of what your series represents.

This 3 part series was outstanding!!!🤗🤗🤗

"Now speaking of the stove.... we've got the door wide open now.. reason being it just got to hot" 🤗🤗🤗 Words of success from a great bushman and master of DIY. Absolutely brilliant

Fred Thorne -- "Ditto" !!! Well said!

Thank you for putting up this video. I have my teepee made and was looking for this to see how you did the stove jack. Exactly what I was looking for. Much appreciated!

It would be an honor for the wife and I to meet you folks. Perhaps our trails will cross one day. Until then God Bless.. Larry

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experience!!

Thanks, Always a pleasure !!!!! You always teach me something new !!!! Love you guys !!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😇

Incredibly well thought-out. Great imstructional video.

I have seen EVERY video that you have made Lonnie, and let me tell you that you always leave me wanting more. Great job doing what you do my friend, please keep them coming.

Watched the whole series! Great stuff, I'll be making one for this winters camping trips!! Two thumbs up!!

Thanks for the vids.. Have already started building one for a late season trapping cabin. I appreciate all your videos. Keep them coming.

wonderful. thanks for bringing us with you on your journeys and thinking through the videos so well so there arent any dull moments.

At first i was thinking that will not be waterproof until you whipped out the rain flaps idea haha! Excellent video. Thanks Lonnie!

Excellent! Thanks for letting us learn with you!

Lonnie, Great job, and as you know I have been waiting for this. You have really given a lot of thought to this whole project and I am sure you are right proud of it. I will now wait till you get this out during the Winter and put to good use. In the mean time I am going to start making one for my self. Thanks.

Your videos are brilliant. Remind me of a tv series when i was a kid softley spoken . Knowledge from a bearded chap. In the same calm manner. . .

Thank you very much from your Bushcaft friend from New Hampshire Joe!

Love your videos. Keep living the dream.

A scrap of window screen would also give you a bug free vent for warm weather, and let in light. Many thanks for these videos, very helpful

Thanks alot Lonnie. i Miss Alaska when i watch your videos

Love you videos, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Peace and blessings

Great build. Thank you both for sharing.

Perfect project. Thank you Connie and Lonnie.

You did a brilliant job of that, mate; from making the TP to the stove to the stove jack. Super stuff and very enjoyable to watch you work and listen to you talk. Thank you.

I'm just blown away...this is terrific! Most excellent work...Thank you. :)

I love the hot tent great work keep it going loving the outdoors

I'm going to start my stove soon. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

Nice video ! I like the 5 gallon metal bucket idea ! & welding blanket for stove jack ! Thanks for sharing youre ideas ! Ive used cast iron heaters mostly all my life !

Very well executed. Thanks for sharing. -Will

Thanks for you excellent three videos on making a tarp tent. I did training in Alaska in the 1970's while in the U.S. Army. I loved every minute of my time. I often wish to go back.

I watch your videos on 2x speed and love them. Thank you for taking the time to make them.

Lonnie, you're the best - the Bob Ross of bushcraft. Thanks for making pandemic life all the more liveable!

I enjoy your videos very much. Thank you.

Thanks Lonnie for another informative and interesting video.

Wow, what a great video. Thank you!

Bryan from Sheffield England .Thank you for your very good well explained video ,a lot of good tips , as of all your videos

This is great! I am going to make one of these for my yard to test out. I'll probably buy a cheap stove though if I can find one. Thanks for your great instruction. Your voice is awesome to listen to as well. Soothing haha..

You're part Einstein, part Grizzly Adams, part Davy Crockett. I am hooked! Thank you for taking the time to create knowledge and share it!

We love you. It takes a real man to do that sewing and teach design and construction like this. You are Grandfatherly, folksy, THE REAL DEAL fella.. Much Respect from Vermont.

Fantastic !

Outstanding video buddy, Thank you.

great tarp tent i enjoyed the videos , and i can now make me a permanent shelter for camp after seeing how simple they are to build .

Fantastic set

Shared with friends and very much enjoyed. Thank you

I just want to say Thank you 🙏 very much

Outstanding! You inspire me.

thank you so much for these vids. my husband and I were planning on buying a new tent, a hot tent, and a stove, but we have so many other items we are wanting to upgrade and purchase we have decided to try to make the tent and stove our selves via your vids. what a blessing to have found your channel, we truly appreciate it. have a beautiful day

Great series sir. I think I found a project to do this year with my children. Thanks for sharing this.

My wife and i are definitely going to make this tent tipi! Thank you for the knowledge

Awesome advice. Thank you, and God bless..!

Second time watching this one. Reason being, I just found a welding blanket locally and this stove jack is becoming a reality for me very soon. Thank you for you detailed instructions.

Measure twice and cut once, Connie‘s as sharp as one of your knives. I love the logic you use to design your projects, experience shines through. Thanks both.

I love this video and want to go back and watch the shelter video!

Love your videos. Your the type of outdoorsman I strive to be. Thanks and be safe

Thanks you guys.

Deep....Thanks...I'm so tired of seeing everyone's new purchases from Amazon....A man of the earth...

Always enjoy yall`s videos Lonnie & Connie ! GOD Bless ! ENJOY....THE SIMPLE LIFE

I crossed your videos about the nylon tipi. First I wanted to sew a walltent from canvas myself. But I think your way is much more budget friendly. Very well done! Thank you for sharing

lonnie you just amaze me with your vast knowledge. always a pleasure to watch your videos. regards nick from scotland.

Thank you sir. Love all the great information. Presentation is clear and straight forward. Beautiful well thought out product! I think though, the saying goes, "Think twice, measure thrice, and cut once". ;)

I've really enjoyed this series. Thanks for making it. Of course, it's just one more thing that will make my wife roll her eyes at me when I tell her I'm going to do it.

Excellent! Thanks!!!

You guys do terrific videos....great job and thanks a bunck

More great knowledge. Thanks.

Great tutorial! I'm building my own hot tent at the moment, using these videos. I even bought a sewing machine and learned to sew to get this project done. Thanks!!

I watched the hole series thank you a truly ingenious tipi hot tent. You have inspired me to attempt it myself.

Awesome. A good, safe shelter built in a shoe string budget. Something most people could do if they just had a few tips such as you offer in this video.

Great videos. Life is all about smiles and cries. Or happiness and suffering. May you have many smiles and very few cries.

I appreciate your video. Thank you for doing this.

Sir, your channel has become one of my favorites. Very good content that is both to the point and well explained. Your demeanor and speech is comforting and easy to listen to. Thank you for the educational videos you post.

awsome !!! my brother and i will be attempting to make 1 hopefully like yours. Thank you and hello from montreal canada !

Great work and Thanks for sharing.

Very clear instructions and demonstration. Thanks!

Very cool three video's on your tipi/stove. Very cool ideas that dont cost alot. Great music too. Keep up the good work with your wife. God Bless.

Great video , very educational !!

thanks information and this dismisses my fear of having issue with the gas..appreciate you channel much

Great show Thanks

Great job!

This fantastic trio of videos has been a boon in my early hiking adventures. I am a very hands on guy, I'd rather make something than buy it. I have always used tarp tents so turning one into a tipi was just an obvious evolution. I used a larger 16x20' tarp so it can hold me and 3 friends. At first I didn't think I'd make the stove too, but after watching some more videos on youtube I got the idea of building an ALICE frame to accompany it. With the empty stove hooked onto my frame I can use it to carry supplies as a sort of dual purpose backpack. The stove, stove pipe (kni-co), tent and other supplies came out to be about 60 pounds, which I thought was pretty reasonable for a 4 person, heated tent. Thanks a ton, Lonnie!

hi lonnie watched your video and went out the next day and purchased the stuff to make it I am currently in it with stove on one of my fishing trips absolutely luv it thanks for the videos great work

you put a lot and time and effort into it and it came out great,,,plenty of heat in that tent,,,good job

Fantastic video. Really enjoyed this. Thank you as always.
