Looks like it works

I found this while surfing the net and have always wanted to build one, I followed your plans and no i have a great teepee to hunt from, thanks for this video to go with your online plans, I do have to agree at times it was hard to hear you and what you were doing. Maybe throw in some advice on poles.

Hummm? The original native tipis were made of tanned buffalo hide. There were no cloth ones till they were put on reservations after their lands were stolen., and the government program to kill off the buffalo to subdue the Indians by starvation worked. The suns radiation breaks down fabrics, mold and mildew finish it. Buffalo hide tipis were no exception, they began to break down at ground level, and the tipi shortened till no longer serviceable. Of course if the tipi is only used set up part of the year. Kept dry and free of small rodents, it can last for years!😉

It won’t last 2 years in the sun and weather, it’s too light.

I built a 15ft tipi out of 3 , 12x15 drop clothes. What a chore . I did use a sewing machine . And painted it with kilz primer , to waterproof it , I have not painted my color design yet.

I couldn’t hear either, but that was because my wife is watching her own video chats across the table from me. Hahahaha. My volumne is the one goes way down!

I have built the same size tipi also from two drop clothes. I neglected to pack it up dry, (which let mold set in),or to have tall enough poles for it. Having lived in other larger tipis, your video is a very good lesson on how to do it right. $50 and some sewing hours, versus $600 for a nicely manufactured one, is a choice going to really easy, as the money all dissapears! Thank you!

Now I'm thinking 18'. It's nice to see someone who knows what they're doing when it comes to Tipis.

I'm now thinking it's 16'. I see I'm the only 'like' but I'll like anything done well when it comes to a Tipi.

Those look like 12-16' lodges...14' maybe?

When I use a tarp, preferably brown or camo, I can crank out a good 15 foot lodge in half a day. Peeling poles takes another day but plastic gets hot and the insides get condensation. So, I made one with a drop cloth inside and a tarp outside...waterproofs well and has a good look if I use camo tarp...20x30 foot tarps are under $50 at Harbor China Freight...plus the cost of a couple drop cloths and some gorilla tape...keeps it down to where I call it a Cheapee.

I've switched over to those drop cloths myself due to prices. However, being old now I finally dropped a couple grand on a Nomadics 18 footer which I keep up permanently. My drop cloth Tipis are smaller and used for be nomadic/traveling and I have sizes from 10 to 15 feet depending on how many canvases I use. Tarps are faster but break down too fast but both the tarps and drop cloths at Wally World and China Freight are cheap and it's easy to make a good sized lodge for under $100. Lot of work sewing and peeling poles but IMO that's part of the deal and gives lots of satisfaction. I've lost count of how many I've made over the past 4 decades...make that almost 5.

SPEAK UP!

How well does the tipi handle rain?

I like this idea of using canvas drop cloth. I've seen them done on youtube with regular tarps. I'm retiring tomorrow (!) and looking for more projects.

👍😊❤️

Okay but where does the dang tired go opposed to the back tire on the motorcycle 10% forward 5 foot forward I can't find a video one to tell me that

I forgot to mention on your other video...I learned from you to twist the staking loops. As prices have soared, drop cloths make a less expensive lodge and work quite well. Thanks.

First time I've seen a 4-poler put up. Looking very nice. I'm a 3-poler and have made some from drop cloths as well. Again, very nice looking lodge.

How much did it finally cost you and how long did it take you

Sorry but the video has no value to me

Boy I'm really gonna sound like a complainer here. But the way you guys are put your wording up there with the red and the black center you can't read it

Nobody can hear a word your Saying

I think reinforcement wherever pegs go through slits would also be good. Your idea on reinforcement on the smoke flaps and at the top was good information also. Thanks.

I am surprised nobody commented on your video. Thank you for this video. I also had the idea of using drop cloth. Drop cloth is much cheaper than normal canvas and this is what made me think of it. I wondered is it durable enough to work? Did it hold up after the initial build well? I'm curious how it holds up over time, and in comparison with the real canvas stuff. But because drop clothes from paint store are so much cheaper I want to see if doing it this way will work. I hope you might have follow up data on this particularly on if the drop cloth will endure over time. Normal canvas has gotten extremely expensive. And I wonder how many other people are getting the same idea. The plastic blue tarps will melt in the sun in 8 to 10 months. I've tested this personally by using them for sheds and agriculture material covers in past years. So I know betting on those won't get anywhere.

Got any work plans for it?

Why the hell are you whispering?

thanks for effort but audio sucks

Very cool...

ᵖʳᵒᵐᵒˢᵐ

Been there done that! Good times for sure. I'm just glad nobody was filming me! LOL

Curious!-do you know how long it can hold a charge, or how many uses you can get out of it before requiring a recharge?

Do you have recommendations for essential gear to carry along on these types of excursions? Winch/rope puller, jack, etc?

Amazing aerial view! This video gives me a good experience as if I were flying over there! Thanks for sharing your nice work!

Great job! I’m trying so hard to get my smoke flap poles in place on my 26ft tipi and it’s proving very challenging. Spent a couple hours this morning to no avail, will have to try again later.

Wow, it’s another amazing video with beautiful trees and snow, thanks for sharing and hope u enjoy my video too :)

It's really not clear what you expected was going to happen when mounting the bike...because for me what happened is exactly what I expected would happen with or without the hack...

Too many flaws in that method. Use 2 perfectly straight pieces of material, 8' long. Put one on either side of the front and back tires. Steering straight. Let the straight edges stick out both ends. Find the centre of the 2 edges front and back. Measure over 6' from the marks and mark the floor outside of the sidecar. Snap a line thru the 2 points. Then attach a length of wire to one sidecar wheel lug nut. Set it to reach the floor outside of the wheel. Mark where it contacts the floor on one side, then rotate the wire and mark the floor again. Snap a line thru these 2 points. Compare the 2 lines. Toe in over 8' should from 1/8" for very light cars to 5/8' for others. If the bike pulls left and turns left quickly, too much toe in. If the bike is hard to control and turns right quick, toe out is excessive. There is no standard set up. Good luck on set up.

I can't tell The handlebar measurement you mentioned because of the music is so loud

What’s the toe in and lean numbers and how to get

Hi there, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm a disabled biker here in the UK and haven't been able to ride since 2012 due to my spinal cord injuries. I've just picked up my first chair and I will be adapting this and my old bike around my disability. I was a motorcycle mechanic for many years, I just can't do my own spanners anymore but with this information I can point things in the right direction. By the way, I thought that your music choice and mix levels were fine. I've subscribed to your channel. Ride safe brother

Either speak up or turn the damn music off! Everybody loves Johnny Cash but I bet Johnny himself would even say it is a distracting nuisance in an instructional video. I lasted for a minute and a half.

Sick beats.

Should lose that stupid music!! You need to hear what he's saying!!

nicely done! i love cooking them whole, but good to know when i buy the next one and need to cut it up and freeze. cheers.

What song is playing in the background? I'm digging it

The Man in Black rocks

Thank you for sharing this valuable advice. I imagine if you put some petrol and camping gear in the sidecar, it would become more stable as you say. However a sharp turn to the right will "fly the chair". Take a look at some Leaner Sidecar Combinations for a simple solution: www.haulnride.com/motorcycle-leaner-sidecar-homemade-projects

Would have been very informative but the music your voice and trying to concentrate over all this garble led me to drop your vid down the proverbial drain pipe sorry couldn't hear anything
