Tipi Living -from October 

I always used what is called the "Squaw Fire" in my Tipi. Three sticks pointed at each other over a divot in the ground center. Just the ends burn and almost completely smokeless. The flame is easy to manage by nudging sticks in closer as they burn. Almost a constant heat. Great video

It's so awesome that you're posting again Richard!!! I absolutely love the simplicity that you're striving for and congratulations on getting closer to it. I can't wait to see your homemade clothing when you start making it, that's going to be really cool. Keep warm and stay safe buddy.

Read !'The Tipi Book', Tipi must have a liner, raised outer cover few inches, adjustable smoke flaps, covered trench or buried pipe brings air to fire if you lower outer cover and seal for cold, without a liner it's a pointed tent...I admire what you are doing

Looking forward to more updates, especially how you camp/live through winter. I enjoy your videos!

Its your life and you are living it yourself not like us RU-vid viewers trying to live vigorously through guys like you. Stay safe from newfoundland and labrador Canada.

That is great insight on the combustibility of the woods you use. Stay safe and warm brother!

So good to see you!! Hug the horses and doggos from me lol keep warm n safe🤍

Really enjoy all your life experiments, becoming one with nature.....thx.

Why don't you like cooking on a wood stove? I'd sure like a good stove, but maybe I should just make a brick fireplace in a dugout. Outdoor living is the best!

Really enjoying your journey bro,good to see your doing well. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

Glad I caught this quick. TAKE CARE..

great tip on the smoke. Thanks

Try separating a gap in the bricks in the lowest teir. Get some airflow right down at the base of the fire; that'll help with smoke control. A liner around the inside of the tipi, about chest high, will also create a flow of air, making your tipi a more efficient chimney and keep drafts to a minimum. Have fun!

Been thinking of giving vanlife a try . I like the tp idea. Goats will eat anything

I agree with you on down. It's the best.

Inspiring brother thank you for sharing the journey

Cottonwood, Willow and Aspen all three gopher wood meaning put a piece in and gopher another, They burn fast and hot.

This last year I started to tent camp. I live in my trailer. Studying fire cans I realized that the principle is to have air drawn from below so I found the Adjusta Grill. I have it about 18in. from the ground and light the fire on top of it. The heat radiates directly on me as I sit. The best part is that it makes for a smokeless fire! Too cook have taller staked rig for hanging pots and pans.

Keep up the good work amigo!

lookin good amigo! linda and dave cook over open flames too. often use pie irons. since they enclose the food, the heat source is irrelevant . food cooks up fast, and they put out individual serving sizes.

Another top day,glad your pack

Keep the outside cover off the ground and an inside liner sealed tight to the ground. It draws the smoke up to the open flaps. In the winter, a parcel liner over the wall liner ( ozan ) to retain the heat in the back of the tent. Set the tempi with a sloop to the back. Build your fire over the top opening. It gives you ample living space in the back. That way, you don't have the fire so close as to set your bedding on fire. If you are serious about long-term living, invest in a two-inch pipe (it only has to be metal in the last two feet) buried underground to the outside from the fire pit. Lastly, in the bitter cold, some old wool blankets as a double layer to the liner and ozan will make a huge difference in the retention and radiation of heat.

Great video, im glad i found your channel

yes i got a 16 ft tipi .i think it good too get away from this mad mad world. .and too get lost in the wild

Good job brother

Thanks for the deets!

very nice!

Thanks

Pretty sure Les Stroud and his wife lived in a teepee for a 1-3 years in British Columbia

careful boiling water or acidic based things in cast iron, it'll ruin the seasoning

Your Tipi looks cozy! Do you live year round in tents, trailers etc. or do you have a house or an appartment somewhere?

Wish I was next to you !

Living right

Covid from the fire 🤣👍

Why do you think it seems every rewilder places less emphasis on their diet than dress and mobility if “we are what we eat”?

In all respect, Cottonwood is the absolute last fuel wood I would use in the western mountain country.

Your smoke should go up and out the top of Tee Pee

Damn Goats! lol

🏴‍☠🏴‍☠

Is there a name for that style of flat brim hat?

My back hurts just watching you sit on that bed

Brother this is the exact wildfire risk i was commenting about last time i watched a video, why risk and promote others to risk becoming wilffire risks by cooking by open fire all summer ?! Nowadays we have rocket stoves, double combustion stickburners, solar evacuated tube ovens, etc for safer and more efficient options to use?

🖐️🤠🇹🇩☀️

fascinating… how do you get covid from a fire?!?!

What size is your tipi in feet?
