great tips......I have one for you ma'am. look into getting parachord, it's really light, cheap and tough.

Hi Nancy ! I love your videos on your tipis !

[brittol12]

hello

very helpful video

i seen this also on man vs wild

i made a small one today but it is very cold outside and i used the same idea as you in the summer i will make a bigger one and sleep in it. i am trying to learn as much as i can about the wild. and i was wondering if you have any tips on wild plants that are edible

thanks bye

I like the open tipi idea! I like the idea of vines, trailing back and forth across the top, perhaps with grapes on them! I'll have to see what I can do to fulfil that idea!
