Wild SideTV-The Wigwam Project

During his senior year of high school, when most teenage boys are thinking about anything except living outside, Matt Guenther decided to make a wigwam and live in it for his senior class project. Wild Side Guide Ken Tucker takes us to Chattanooga to learn more about Matt's wigwam project. From show 2508. Visit our website at www.wildsideTV.com to learn more.

My Junior year of high school we didn't make wigwams but instead we made quanchees. Basically you shovel a big pile of snow into one area, let it sit 12hr and dig into it until it's hollow. It's a snow wigwam essentially

The wigwam elders would approve!

This was pretty inspiring Matt. I hope more kids our age choose a similar path.

Very well done Matt!! I'm in Ohio, I'm a historical re-enactor (something that you might want to look into), I have a tipi, just yell if you want to camp sometime.

im having a project about houses and i have to make one of this lol

[@Thelonelyscavenger]

I would have used natural materials to try and insulate it.

[@mattguenther7085]

I wanted to use bark and grass mats, but it was too late in the season to get bark easily (also there was no need to harm trees for this project). Thanks for watching!
