2012年11月14日 · Tarp tipi I've done quite a bit of research on this topic. To make canvas waterproof one would need to wax it. Waxing a huge tarp would take a tremendous amount of time. Not only that it would be back breaking in terms of weight. Also, the inside can still get moist/wet unless you wax the inside too. >.< OOhhh my back, double the weight.

2019年8月8日 · With a large enough tarp for could wrap it around a tripod made of trees fairly easily leaving a vent at the peak. My inability to sew strait lines has kept me from trying tentmaking so far but I really want a silnylon Baker style tent as described by Bill Mason.

2008年10月3日 · There is a tarp clip at the top where the most pressure is which holds the front. The rest is just "sewn" closed with #550 Koa.. Yes.. right out by the pond. In fact, so close that a few minutes ago we watched an armadillo walk out of the teepee!! Took care of him quickly.. don't need an armadillo in bed with me

2012年12月12日 · Canvas tarp from Sherwin Williams and some Mule Tape for the sewn loops. This is made from a 12' X 18' canvas painter's tarp and the bottom edges of each triangle section are 8 feet long, and the height of each triangle is roughly 8~9 feet.

2016年3月7日 · As for diameter, I believe on equipped to survive site, for the "Wigwam" done with a 10x20 tarp, it would be about 8 feet tall and roughly 10 feet diameter with an octagonal shape. That is a great looking shelter! I have a brown 12x24 …

2022年12月11日 · I normally just use a tarp and a hammock. My go to in colder weather though is the Litefighter 1. I think I want a teepee. It needs to weigh no more than the Litefighter. Less than 5 pounds. And I want it to be tent stove comparable. I am thinking about the OneTigris Smokey Hut or the Iron Wall...

2024年3月8日 · Well, the girlfriend and I went our separate ways eventually but I kept working on building a better shelter around the big rock. It was basically an A frame structure built under the tarp. A few teepee poles and a long ridge pole replaced the rope. I added some more supports and a house began to take shape.

2019年9月21日 · I'm definitely planning on a more overnighters throughout the rest of the fall and into the winter, and so I've been thinking about ways to keep warm. One thought that came to me was the possibility of having a small dakota fire inside of a mostly enclosed shelter (like a tipi tarp tent, or something similar).

2012年9月15日 · Despite the above, I tarp tent in the winter, but I do it without the aid of fire. Fire is something I reserve for at the main camp site to aid in drying gear, cooking and relaxing. In these conditions having a good length for your tarp (9-10') and a low to the ground basic A-frame set up gives good protection from wind and angled falling snow.

2014年1月25日 · A few years back I had a canvas tarp made, 20'x16'. My intentions were to use it for the roof of a portable deer camp. Fast forward a few years, and due to some health conditions my dad developed we just don't use it like that. New plan is to make it into a hexagonal teepee using one center pole.
