"You don't have to make it a viking tent if you don't want to." Why would anyone not want a viking tent?? On a serious note, it looks great. Keep up the good work))

[@SpiritForest]

exactly!!

[@3rubberboats]

You are quite the carpenter. Have a super wonderful day.

[@hrafnafolk]

Wow that is awesome & Amazing.... Skoll..

[@johndavidson6867]

For someone who keeps saying that she's not sure what she's doing you would make a very good wood working instructor. I think you are just awesome, looking forward to the next three.

[@SpiritForest]

haha.. I was winging it. haha!!!

[@timothyhays1817]

The intro with Rocky coming out the tent reminds me of Conan opening scene of the raid.

[@walkingviking770]

Hallo Tammy, guter Aufbau! Die Idee, die Entstehung vom Zelt zu zeigen, bringt für viele das Verständnis, warum Du das Zelt so magst! Freue mich auf die nächsten Videos! LG Olaf

[@SpiritForest]

Vielen Dank .. es ist ein lustiges Projekt.

[@emeraldfox7175]

Awesome build luv ❤

[@billmitchell7731]

Look at you. You little carpenter👍👍👍👊

[@jackpatteeuw9244]

Buy a folding Japanese "pull" saw. They are very easy to use, cut clean and FAST ! Because they fold, they are useful for camping. Either Silky or Gyokucho. 6"-10" with large/coarse teeth.

[@jonoffensend7519]

I really enjoy watching a capable person working. I don’t need a 10 by 10 but it seems to me a 8 by 8 would be fun and using your technique guite easy. A good spring project.

[@markbradburn2906]

Your creativity ceases to amaze me!! Congratulations!

[@charlesegrahamii4702]

I love the two-sided fireplace..😎

Awesome build!!!! I want to give a shout out to Rocky for supervising that, he's a helper. Keep up the great videos I can't wait to see them. Your inspiring to me to get outta this box that I've been in. Thanks!!

[@SpiritForest]

Awesome.. yes.. get out of the box..

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Great to see all the positive energy you are putting into this project. Wood can sure give back when working with it. It is so nice and fluid and with that can become some wonderful things. Well done and I look forward to seeing you again new friend.

[@garywhelansr5602]

[@MichaelR58]

Very interesting, thanks for sharing !

[@DIYprojects66]

Getting plenty of ideas for my personal luxury tent

[@waynemcmillan5970]

Thanks Tammy, you have given me some ideas for new tent designs here in Australia . You are very creative.

[@kevinbungles]

This is Brilliant Tammy, an excellent overview and great graphics with superb narrative.. i halve two observations 1) use a clamp to ho hold the wood whilst drilling, scoring or sawing as this will prevent movement and accidents 2) stop apologising... this is beyond good what you have done and what you are explaining.. don’t apologise, you should applaud yourself for attaining a new skills

[@brucedavis6244]

That great Viking tent thx you for great video

[@davelittler6344]

Nicely done young lady

[@ronhart8857]

[@SpiritForest]

Thank you!

[@pacificbushcraftandfirecra6358]

Great build T!

[@claramullen]

Hi Tammy it is fantastic that you shared your viking tent plans. I made one similar but I put pocket sleeves on the sides to slide supports in so it keeps it from sagging.

[@SpiritForest]

oooooo..... Now that is a GREAT idea!!! hmmm

[@KrissiCreates]

Ahhh amazing !! You go girl !!

[@KrissiCreates]

Woohoo !! Ordered a Viking Shirt !!

[@MrInsaint]

That is so awesome to watch👌 Thank you for sharing all this with us🙏 - I have to get my kids out to start building right away😃

[@SpiritForest]

yes.. do!!

[@RuthsCarpeDiem]

Wow 😎 that is awesome, I'm impressed with your building the viking tent. Hugs from Ruth 🤗🤗🤗

[@SpiritForest]

now your turn.. haha

[@RuthsCarpeDiem]

Next year....maybe 😊

[@marguerittegoetsch2303]

Fun... :)

[@LivingTheRVLocaLife]

love the carvings on your tent, very cool sorry you're still in snow lol. Hope your Easter was great, been hot here in Florida . We have a breeze today.Great video thanks for sharing really cool happy camping take care

[@dhaskinsful]

It's up to you, I'm living through your experiences, just had shoulder rotator cuff surgery. So I will be out of the camping game for at least 6 weeks if not longer. So camp on girls of the bush LOL!

[@SpiritForest]

oh.. sorry about your surgery.. ouch. I will camp for you. ;)

[@livhonestly]

Tammy I hope you are okay and safe. There was a fiery crash on I 70 in Lakewood, Colorado. It happened 20 minutes from my friend 's home in Evergreen.

[@SpiritForest]

Thank you so much for thinking of me. Yes it was a nasty crash. I was going to go hiking, but had a kid activity to do so decided not to go.. happy I stayed home.

[@livhonestly]

@@SpiritForest Thank God and the Angels that you and your family are safe. My friend and her husband are safe as well. Prayers for those loved ones that are lost and their families who are grieving.

[@summitdave8782]

Your way to much fun...If that is possible...

[@megamouse4093]

5 years later, how well has it stood the test of time and what would you do differently?

[@thomasmusso1147]

👍😊.

[@coherantbliss3483]

So T...when you comin over and help finish my deck? JK. Great vid! Glad to see a woman using tools...but you forgot to do the Tim Taylor grunt!

[@darrenstephenson5557]

How high up did you go for the ceiling pole

[@chrisw5742]

AWESOME. Hail ODIN :-)

[@chrisw5742]

I gotta make me one like this :-)

[@still-jlynn]

I have native American blood. I would love to make a teepee!

[@SpiritForest]

Do it!

[@WESTMARSHIKEANDOUTDOORS]

👍

[@tyler222pham]

What size canvas tarp?

[@LARPAUS]

Please respond. What size canvas is this I am building one but need to know what size I need

[@mecheledawson4262]

Woa...How interesting! And so intertaining, looks like you were having a blast building your viking tent frame. Where did the ideas and know how come from?

[@SpiritForest]

I just.. thought it up and made it. Didn't see any directions online.. so I came up with my own. haha

[@happylittleheathens]

Where did you get your canvas from?

[@sarahparker4023]

I hope this is OK to ask but do you have a blue print for those of us wishing to build the same type of tent? ❤️🖤🌹 Lots of love from new Zealand!

[@SpiritForest]

I don't have a blue print as I just cut on my own and to size. Sorry.

[@shogun666able]

You got away with it but hands in front of a spinner bit?? Bust out the wood you have a real nasty situation. I know as I have done it myself and spinner bits are never your friends, they like chucks of skin, bone or wood they eat it all. Use a clamp to hold the wood! then you can eyeball level and straight better. One minute to fix a clamp saves 3 months of healing. Roll on the next. Arthur (UK)

[@wms72]

Is your very cool tent based on actual Viking designs?

[@SpiritForest]

Thanks for watching.. The Vikings didn't have 2x4's or sewing machines. So, I would have to say no. However, I have seen examples of their tents (historians feel they used them on their ships).. My tent looks similar to those designs.

[@ginaallen3797]

Chicks with power tools (and hand tools too) building stuff, nothing better. :)

[@debsartori2736]

2 doors. One to escape out of if Yogi comes knocking.

[@stevecupples2071]

Good job! Vikings had 2”x4” ‘s and spade bits? #justbustingyourballs

[@SpiritForest]

ha

[@Jimbo-pm1dp]

How are you doing Tammy....Im worried about you !!!

[@dr.lexwinter8604]

As an aside, instead of having the fire inside your tent, have you ever considered having the fire outside and laying a metal tube at an upwards angle through the fire and into the tent? That way it sucks clean air from the outside and as the pipe gets hot and hot air rises it pushes into the tent, giving you clean warm air. The pipe never gets hot enough to burn the tent and the air coming out is anywhere from warm to hot. A tiny fire can heat a pretty big tent this way, and there's zero risk of carbon monoxide poisoning or burning your tent down like there is having the fire inside the tent. An ex partner of mine set herself on fire by not taking fire seriously and having it around her while sleeping. She now looks like something from a horror movie and will never lead a normal life or walk properly again. Please reconsider having a fire inside where you sleep.

[@jackpatteeuw9244]

If you are going to do any more "wood working", I strongly recommend getting a folding Japanese "pull saw". amzn.com/B001Y4ZWYU They are very easy to use and the one I linked folds so it makes a great pruning/camp saw.

[@dr.lexwinter8604]

The point of an A-frame is that you put the material AROUND the A-frame. You literally ditched all the benefits of an A-frame and have a straight line tent with the A-frame turned into a pointless cosmetic thing. You could have strung a cable between two trees and achieved the same thing minus the extra ten kilos of wood you have to carry in and out.
