Warm and Cozy Teepee Shelter Build, Inside Fireplace and Sleeps 3

[@BiNumLi]

A Teepee has to be the best survival structure. Wind resistant. Max floor space. Good height for walking. Easy construction if you have straight saplings nearby. In terms of work load there is no hauling logs or heavy stones. Just need an axe and some heavy cordage. Great.

[@theaverageguy3884]

How water proof is this tipi?

[@EsyuDach]

and choke on smoke constantly, Huge, waste of calories, both to make it and keep it warm. Very high profile. Lots of places aint got such saplings. need a horse to haul everything.

[@EsyuDach]

a teepee makes no sense at all unless you have a group and either horses or a quad-wheeler and trailer to haul everything. It's a lot of wasted space, actually

[@NAVYWhistleblowerAssassin]

No $300 boots, $600 Falkraven pants, or $1,000 Jacket or $200 knife. Just old jeans, kicks, a coat and basic tools. 😊 Just lot of inspiration to get out there!

[@alundavies1016]

Tents are just as flammable, but you can use a burner in them if yuh have enough headroom and are careful. As long as that fire is kept low it should be fine in winter. If I was cooking in the warmer, drier months I would probably do it outside!

[@davidgraham2673]

We used to make these when I was a boy. The pine needles made a thick mat on the ground, and we'd carefully scoop up thick layers to cover the tee-pee with. We never put a fire inside though. Any fire pit was outside, in a cleared out area with nothing but dirt around it. Great way to spend some time in the pine woods.

@@Wesmancan , I would never trust that type of shelter to sleep in, either. We had many different styles of day, night, and weekend shelters/forts that we'd make. Even some with chimneys and fireplaces. It all sepended on if we were down by the river, near Clay, or up in pinetrees, where it was sandy soil. There was also deciduous forest areas. Lots of fun, and options. Great area to be a kid. We even had waterfalls to swim at.

Reminds me how we constructed our annual new year’s eve bonfire.. rhat thing is a perfect bonfire.. ready to go. Just add a good fire.

[@ColdHarborOP]

A buddy of mine used to moonlight as a handyman, which really meant he used to cut/bush hog a lot of unruly grass and do a lot of painting. When it came time for some new tarps, he brought his old canvas ones home; great big 20x40 monstrosities and the like. We cut bamboo poles and used them as the frame for our own teepee, skinning it in those old drop cloths. We had camp chairs inside, and cots, and even the drum cylinder from inside a washing machine with the cooking grate from a Weber grill set on top. He was selective cutting a couple acres out back of his place at the time too, so we had all the wood we could possibly want. We would burn a big fire in the washing drum, light scattering out from all the drainage holes like one of those starry sky projector nightlights. When it burned to down a low fire over a big bed of coals we would roast hot dogs, and steaks and brats, someone always bringing some crazy new hot sauce or bbq sauce for everyone to try out. My favorite was brats over a cedarwood fire with a few splashes of this amazingly citrusy, spicy, sweet mango habanero sauce on top. We talked, and ate, and smoked Backwoods cheroots, and felt like grown men come fully home to the Lost Boy in each of us. That was mostly the Autumn and Winter of sometime around 2010, and those were some of the best evenings I've ever spent with friends and fellowship. What a time to have been alive... Thanks for the walk down memory lane. I hope good friends and good food find you out there somewhere.

I'd use a smaller version of this for a temporary shelter but not for long term. Once those needles dry out, one spark and that wigwam is going to go up like it was Gasoline. I would want a much sturdier structure for long term use. Meanwhile, this will be much warmer and dryer than your average Lean-Too.

Definitely a good temporary shelter and easy enough to build in a few hours by oneself or quicker with a couple buddies. Unfortunately not being secured in the ground, plus all those pine needles: it's susceptible to rain, strong winds, fire, and a lot of bugs. Good for a new nights in fair weather (be careful of sparks from the fire!). Whats good though is after it eventually topples over, it's all natural and will be home for some forest critters for years before it decomposes :)

[@burniejarvis9298]

I slightly disagree with you on the pine needles. If you have a blanket to lay over them they make for a very good bed. I have done it before. But that's about all.
