Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have three other tipi books and this one is by far my favorite. Not only does she cover the basics (styles of tipis, poles, their care and maintenance, setting up a tipi, different knots to tie the tripod (or quad-pod, as I like to call it.)), but she goes as far as to explain practical tipi-living: how to fix tears, proper smoke flap positioning, bathroom and washup, heating the tipi, and tipi transport (even in different countries.) My challenge has been transporting my tipi. Her book also shares some really fun stories of her own expereinces in her tipis over the years. I especially enjoyed the chapter entitled "Why People Never Camp with Me." Coupled with all the excellent diagrams and photos of tipis, and interviews with an immensely diverse group of tipi enthusiasts (who woulda' thunk of tipis in Russia?), this book is awesome from cover to cover. My mother bought a tipi when I was five years old and we stayed in it every summer. When I was in college I bought my own tipi. I guess you could say that I "moved out". With my love of tipis, I thought that tipi living just couldn't be captured in a book. But I think this book manages to do just that!
