The Tipis or Teepees

 It actually has been a very busy summer. Mostly I have been tanning moose hide, trying to build a wood shelter, garden etc but somewhere in there I build two tipis. The first one is quite small (9 feet tall inside) but just the same I quite like it.

The second one was a bit harder to put together because it is a lot taller (19 feet inside). 

First I put the tripod up.

Then added the rest of the poles

It is hard to show how big it is

But to give you a sense, here are the poles when they are still in the truck (yes I cut the poles myself, I did the entire thing myself alone)
