    I lived in a Tee-pee, one winter here in Saskatchewan (Canada). It was a trade my boss made with one of his customers, and he said I could sleep in it if I did some chores on the farm, to pay rent...LOL.
    The best way to ensure there is no smoke is to have fresh air, but you don`t have to dig a trench, if you`re by yourself. You can build a pipe with rock and dirt on the side of the Tee-pee where you store your gear.
    I used to put rocks in and around the fire, to absorb heat to radiate when the fire dies down, piling more snow and/or debris up the circumference of the Tee-pee, to provide more of an insulation barrier. In addition, I would hang blankets and hides from the poles, sleeping on top of a portion left on the floor. This created a funnel that the heat would radiate into, directly onto to you.
    As long as you had a good supply of firewood, it was pretty comfortable. However, at one point that winter the temperature dropped to -40 degrees Celsius. I had more wood in the Tee-pee than anything else! Natural hides were the best to sleep on. Blankets work...but you need a lot of them. The Tee-pee was also set up in a wooded and partially sheltered area, so the wind wasn't that much of a problem. It was an interesting experience, to say the least, but I stuck it out for two summers and one winter. I was starting to miss the modern amenities of a heater home...with a bathroom.
    Cheers.

    I'm a 65 year old woman and I made a teepee from tarps it wasn't hard for me to do. I used rope and wrapped the top of poles together while they were lying down then I brought them up and put each pole in position adjust the poles accordingly and then I took my tarps and started at the bottom and wrapped them around the poles using only rope and twine I had a fire in the middle and I was very warm and comfortable. I use tarps for everything there better than a tent. P.s.I didn't cut the tarps I simply overlapped each one I used four large tarps my teepee was very big. I want to make another one for the winter but finding a place is difficult since the forestry service keep running me off 😆 🤣

    Great video. I lived in a tipi a great part of my childhood. I had one military parent and one hippie parent we did a lot of bushcraft, survival living. Tents, handmade bushcraft cabin, school bus, van and a tipi. The tipi was my favorite but he got really cold in winter here in the rocky mountains in Colorado! I remember waking up to a black bear in our tipi laying next to me!! Lol harmless bear trying to warm up but it was terrifying. I love watching your videos. You learn something every day and I learn a lot of new things from you! I am excited for spring because I am going to start my own journey with bushcraft survival camping trips.

    This was a great video. We had a retired military gentleman that use to live in a teepee he made out of tarps near us. He vented the center with an umbrella. He also dug out the center about 3 ft deep and had a ledge around that about 2 feet higher. He choose to live that way too. He said he enjoyed the simpler way of life. He liked it to be just him and his dog. He lived there for many years until his passing. He didn't like to except any help until the end he allowed people to bring in propane heaters to keep him warm. I think about him every time I pass by where his camp use to be.
    When driving through the mountains I catch myself looking around at things and thinking about what I could make shelter with just from watching your videos. I look forward to Sundays and watching your videos.

    In real TP's there is an inner liner that is tied to the poles on the inside. The bottom edge of the liner is pulled to the outside and kept in place with rocks, soil, or lengths of logs. This allows the breeze to funnel the fires smoke straight up and out.
    There is also a moveable pole that allows the flap of the TP's cover to be moved to direct the smoke away. This flap is what moccasins are made from. The smoked leather is used for the soles of the moccasins, and they are extremely durable.

    I went through some really hard times about 10 years ago and had to live in a teepee for about 6 months. Was in the middle of January in a really bad winter. Had freezing rain and temperatures in the teens (here in Texas we ain't built for that kind of cold). I built my bed off of the ground about a foot and a Dakota fire pit type of fire place inside which helped with the smoke. Also lined my walls with leaves and as much foliage as I could for insulation. It was a miserable few months but I'm still here to tell the story. Also a piece of water hose can be a life save for those 2am piss breaks when it's sleeting and 40mph wind outside lol

    Teepees have an inner liner that is spaced a few inches inside the tripod. Air will go under the outside layer and hit the inside layer and flow up. Keeps smoke at bay and makes it much warmer or cooler during the summer. Love your design. I think I would have made a ring about the size of a bike rim and hung it from a tree then tied the tarp to the ring and spidered it out.

    i know pack stored long life meals are handy and easy, do no disrespect. but for people into how others survived and what they stored and how they cooked those stores is interesting and probably way cheaper. plus im sure all the preppers would like a few recipes.

    One thing I like about this it’s a really inexpensive option. You know, might be a good idea to keep a 10’x20’ tarp in one’s vehicle. Wouldn’t take up a lot of room and good for an emergency situation. Where I live it’s cold in the winter and it’s an earthquake risk as well, not to mention the risk of war or
    economic downturn.

Radke the three year old has recently developed an interest in the tying of knots. I asked her if she would like to see grandpa's friend Shawn building a Teepee with ropes an knots. She sat on my lap mesmerized. There was a brief explanation that this was not a video chat, just a video. The waving and helloing stopped. Miss antsy pants quietly watched the entire video followed by three of your knots tutorials before her toys called her back. When we got home I ordered Her Para cord in her favorite colors.

Water is the stuff of life.

    It dawned on me as you were pushing the leaves against the bottom of the tee pee, that you could leave some of the tarp material along the bottom edge cupped upward with some stones or a branch underneath, to catch water. Morning dew, snow or rain could be caught if one didn't have any water with them.

    From someone who put up a teepee many times, you take your 3 main poles, tie them together then flip the center pole over completely before standing the poles up. This naturally keeps the rope tight and properly placed. The poles we used were 22 feet long and if done properly, one person can do it alone.

    Not wishing to sound as if I were putting down the people who have been stuck in blizzards along our freeways lately but if they just carried basic survival items, their stays would have been better. My family was coming back from Alaska with two kids younger than 2 years old and got caught behind 5 jack knifed semi in a 3 day blizzard in North Dakota in 1972. There was a small bar nearby where people stayed as much as possible. Few amenities. 4 Alaskan Malamutes back in our van who had to be walked and fed 3xs a day. Fun times. Best part- only 15 miles from our end goal. Saving grace - semis kept engines running and set up 2 hour each schedule for folks to sleep in their cabins. Also, despite their age, 1 was 4 months old, the kids were good. My husband has passed but he always prepared us for eventualities. If you insist on traveling in bad weather, be prepared. That's why I watch you - to keep the knowledge alive.

    Having been in many a sweat lodge, I'd heat some stones in the fire (as long as they're igneous rock, you don't want them exploding like shrapnel) and then bury them in the dirt under the sleeping mat for added comfort and warmth.
    However, as you brought in the coals from the outside fire, you managed to bring the interior temperature of the teepee up to a very comfortable range.
    Even without the heated stones, I would still dig a shallow trench and filled it with soft leaves before I put my mat down. Sleeping on the rock hard ground is seldom conducive to slumber and I'm a sucker for making things as comfortable as possible even in the most primitive, temporary situations.
    Years ago my domestically abusive now ex husband drove me out of the house with no coat on New Year's Eve and I spent the night in the woods curled up in the roots of a giant Cedar tree and buried under a blanket of leaves that kept me cozy and warm. They have wonderfully insulating properties.

    FYI - My Cherokee uncle lived on the Pecan Bayou in a teepee in Texas during the Great Depression. The material was made from animal skins. Each night he made two small fires -- one in the center and one off center where his feet would lie during sleep. When he had a good stack of coals at the second firehole, he would cover it with soil. The nested coals would keep him warm all night. The Cherokee have a saying -- "Foolish man makes big fire. Can't get close to. Can't get warm. Wise man makes small fire. Can get close to ... and stay warm." Thanks for the great video. BTW: Last time I tried a nested fire, my feet stayed warm and I slow-cooked breakfast all night in the nested coals. I awoke rested and dug up and ate a warm breakfast. It was a great way to start a cold winter's day.

    If you really want to go dirt cheap, lumberyards usually have lumber tarps they will give you for free that they usually throw away. A 12'x24' makes a hell of a Tipi. I usually put the black side out and the white side in so you can see inside.
    Great video 👊🏻

    This is the third or fourth time ive watched this. I think that its one of the better shelters I've been on the tube. Simple, roomy, effective. Also should be simple to make larger if need be. Well done.

    Thanks, I owned a 17ft teepee for several years. The poles were 21ft long.
    It was a great shelter once you got it up but man! What a pain in the A$$ to haul around. I had a roof rack on my van for the poles.
    A trailer set up to store the cover and gear and to haul the poles on would have been lots better.
    But I had the van so I used what I had. It was great fun.
    I have a 12x12 canvase wall tent with a stove jack and woodstove now. I need to use it more often.
    That tarp tent is a doable thing though. Lots better than shivering under a tarp with no real heat source.
    How many people do you think you could have crammed in there on a 12 degree night? 3 or 4 I bet.
    I'm going to have to try that just to see how it goes.
    Thanks again.

    If we use additional reflector tarps, perhaps two, then we could line the inside of the Walmart 10x20 tarp with the reflector side inward reflecting the heat back down on us. So one 10x20 tarp w two reflector tarps. Maybe 3 reflector tarps maximum. Add two Pathfinder Queen wool blankets inside a bivy w a ground pad & I'm as snug as a bug in a rug :)
    Another upgrade, have an additional pole on the outside to be used to open & close a door. Raising & lowering the reflector tarp wedged between the inner poles will lead to rips & tares. Not sure how I'd go about attaching a cover to an exterior pole as well as to the outer tepee but I'm sure where there's a will....

    Your « weight watcher free » cuisine is incredibly defying any doctor’s advice but is a must when spending time outside. I am French and would make some tuning to it but it « smells » good any.

      I recently viewed a Russian bushcrafter who split a 24" x 18" dia billet. Wrpped in wire & started the fire in the center. Then placed a straight pc of metal pipe (looked like electrical conduit) into the center & attached a bent pc to it an fed it into his tent.
      Although I do like this fire inside the enclosure concept.

    These videos are really helpful. Im an avid hunter and always keep gear in my truck and bag in case something happens. Colorado snowstorms while elk and deer hunting can get nasty at anytime. Plus just generall knowledge is a good thing to have. It nice to have different ideas on how to do things in different situations even if it's only needed for a few hours until a storm blows over. Love the videos and hope people really soak these up. You never know, you might end up saving someone's live someday.

    A consistently maintained small tipi/teepee fire with a good bed of coals will warm the ground up to 4’ down. So even if the fire burns down through the night the heat will rise from the ground and keep it warm. I’ve always thought about using a tarp and wondered how it would work, a typical canvas one is very heavy and difficult to raise alone. Thanks for sharing!

Natives there used to say white man make big fires and sit far apart, yet Native Americans made small fires and were closer together. Less firewood used, less work. Amazing what you can do with a cheap tarp and knowledge. Great video as always buddy. Can't beat a warm shelter when the temperature drops

    I used to wild camp 🎪 a lot and I would carry coal in my rucksack. I'd burn wood during the evening but at night I'd burn coal 🔥 Build the sides up around the fire with rocks soil and turf to slow the burn rate of the coal and it would last all night. In winter I could sleep on top of my sleeping bag and in the morning the fire would still be lit. Just give it a stoke and some bits of wood and ready to cook my sausages bacon beans eggs on. I used to cook on a piece of slate over the fire so it didn't need a cook pan or plate etc. everything you need is already there waiting for you if look for it. 🔥

    And like you said, cheap.
    I use bamboo, I have some 10 foot pieces that I use. I actually use them as a sled to get were I'm going. Fantastic. I don't see many people using a TP design. Codey Lunden uses this type. That's the guy that was on dual survival.
