Solo Wigwam Camp with Wool Blanket and Minimal Gear

During a cold March night, I camped in a wigwam that we built at the Appalachian Bushman School. During this trip I only took wool blankets and a haversack. Gear was kept minimal but the fun was maximum. I made a debris bed out of hemlock, started a fire and cooked some steak and just had a good time.

I am a member of the Ojibwe tribe and a Native American historian. I have helped harvest ash bark and build wigwams. This pleases me SO much to see this being done! We use cat tail mats to insulate the inside (historically accurate and easy to make) and raises beds in a u shape inside to keep you off the frozen ground. I love the smell of the inside of a wigwam. It's such a comfort. I am very impressed! Thank you for sharing! New subscriber here! (All because you built a wigwam lol)

[@briflemn]

I don't get out near as often anymore since old age has begun to catch up with me, but I've found that a good way to get the fire to draft straight up is to build a covered air trench from outside the wigwam into the firepit. This prevents air from being drawn thru the cracks in the walls which creates air turbulence that interferes with the smoke column. Incidentally, it seems to feel warmer as well.

Beautiful Wigwam! As an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation I am touched that Ojibwe native historian, Jaxx Marie Cambridge wrote such a positive and supportive comment. It is an honor to have that kind of feedback and I hope that Coalcracker Bushcraft appreciates it. I am bothered however that in reply to Ms Cambridge, a person was so disrespectful as to try to tell her what she should be calling herself! I commented on this in direct reply to her below, but there were alot of replies and I am afraid it probably will go unnoticed so wanted to mention this here as well. I realize that there is a limit to how much Coalcracker Bushcraft can monitor, control, or respond to comments. However when building a structure which is culturally significant to a living tribe and when a member of that tribe makes such a wonderful comment about one's work; I feel it would have been courteous for Coalcracker Bushcraft to make some kind of appreciative reply. Especially considering the ridiculous flack Ms Cambridge was receiving. I am in no way speaking for her, just sharing another native perspective

Neat cut scene with the "handful of sticks reaching for the camera" effect! I like it!

[@fergusrb]

Oh my story. I was born in Toronto Canada and my folks moved to California in 1957. I was 12 then and 73 now, so this happened before I was 12. One summer me and my friends wanted to build a "fort" So we bent over sticks into the ground and found some trees that had been cut into rounds. We stripped the bark and put it on the sides of our "fort" and it looked like your wigwam. There was an old army truck in the field so we played in both. We caught hell for stripping that bark. When the winter came we were back out in the snow in that field and saw a hill up ahead covered in snow. Turns out it was our "fort". We dug around in the snow till we found the door we had make and went inside. It was dry and only had one little pile of snow in the middle where a piece of bark came loose. Just amazed it was still together and was a good shelter. We had another special place were vines had grown up to a tree. It looked cone shape. You could wiggle inside and there was room kind of like a big pine tree with the bows down to the ground but room by the trunk. From the outside you could not tell anyone was there. I was lucky back then, you could play all day and the only rule was be home by supper or you did not get any. Only did that once ha ha. Now a days you are afraid to leave your kids in the front yard. Ahhh old memories, thanks for letting me ramble about the good old days. Bruce from the City Of Orange in Orange county California,

I have an old (1800's) idea to help with Gas Station COFFEE or day old bitter coffee from anywhere, just add a tiny pinch of SALT and stir. You will thank me, I promise. This is how my brother n' laws Grandmother did it when coming across the plains to get to Oregon and California. She literally boiled coffee grounds with egg shells on top then added a bit of salt to made it palatable. Thank-you for sharing your video. Oh, the Steak looked amazing.

Tony Savelli the smacking sound bugs me too, but I attribute it to someone I knew growing up.

And he smacked regardless of talking. That’s just a sound he makes, and I recognize it’s something I was hung up on so I tried to focus on something else.

Take it from a truck driver, one of the best pieces of road kit you can take with you is a french press coffee maker. Just make sure the one you get has very limited plastic parts. This way all you need is hot water from anywhere, your own coffee and there ya go. The flavor is better than instant or from those drip coffee filters and since you are filtering out the grounds through the press cowboy coffee or as some of us call it A cup 'o' mud is a thing of the past. Though sometimes us rugged individuals like to chew on a cup every now and then, you know, just so we impress the ladies haha! Good video!

[@randycurtis1176]

Erik22552 Agreed! It is not just comforting to make my coffee in my French press it's the best delivery system for my drug of choice. The sun comes up in a coffee cup. There are tough plastic presses, glass presses or my favorite, insulated metal, it's heavier but I think it's worth the weight. I generally use eight tablespoons of coffee and 25 ounces of boiling water and in six minutes I'm sipping love in a cup.

[@lapicker1010]

[@MrMonkey9911]

A Stanley press....it completes me

[@sonofeloah]

I would prefer to use a small stovetop espresso coffee pot or a percolator. But I agree about the instant or the drip. But instant is good for a quick pick-me-up and I learned a long time ago that if I use instant, never do it for flavor so, with that in mind, I always go for the cheapest and simply rough it! lol

[@tizmon]

i admire your devotion to your taste preference. while i agree with coffee experts that anonymously say dripping is a preferred method for better tasting coffee. but one of an important reasons i hate french press is its difficulty of clearing after use. i just think it’s such a hustle to clean the press without draining any of the used coffee. i am sure you know it’s a very serious environment destroyer so should never be released to the sewage. how are you guys managing it? repeated wipe with kitchen papers? it’s a serious problem in developing countries with uninformed populations. i am glad i live in a developed country that is well informed.

Nicely done...have you ever tried to use the strips of bark (natural cordage) off the saplings used to make the wigwam frame ? It saves on your cordage usage. Did you weave your horizontal branches through the vertical saplings of the frame? Another trick is to use hot rocks on a small bed of coals....Fire is outside to heat the rocks....this way you don't smoke yourself out, with the fire inside.

[@akatsukiawsome13]

Kanzee You can make a sauna that way too, just dig a small pit in the lodge (empty, no coals, this is for the rocks only) and bring in hot rocks from outside. Spritz some water on and you have yourself a sweat lodge.

[@truebeliever6440]

Great video! My two-cents is this. It looked like your venting and draw was good with the fire, but you had an open fire in an enclosed space, and that is a danger. I always carry a battery operated carbon monoxide detector with me. It absolutely floors me that *almost* every time it reads zero, but a few times, for no reason whatsoever, it registered readings that were near deadly when I googled it (I've had this happen 3 times). Two of the three times, there was no smoke, the draw seemed good, and there was no reason at all to think that there should be CO building up. Almost every time, when I've had poor draw, and even a ton of smoke, it still reads 0. I have found no way to know when CO will build up... it just happens. Whatever the reason, I simply don't know. However, just want to share that knowledge I've gained. Carry a battery operated CO detector.

Did you make a video of how you built the wigwam?

Wow..didn't realize those were sheets of bark. Now I'm impressed.

Awesome Wigwam. Gonna have to go back through and see the vid for you making it if there is one. Looks like a nice night outing. Overdue for one of them myself. Thanks!
