Re: TipiThanks. I can imagine it living like that for a while, but I don't think I would be able to do it forever. Good experience for your friend....

Going to show my age and Michael's too!This article so reminds me of the '60s! I remember seeing tipis around Colorado back then and a couple even here in Maryland but this is one is beautiful!

Re: Going to show my age and Michael's too!Thanks. I think in some ways he is still stuck in that era:)

Very coolI used to spend parts of summers with my folks camping in a Tipi but I never would have imagined living in one. "Everything that lives outside eventually comes in"? Yikes! I admire his dedication to nature and natural living. Thanks for sharing.

Bless this tipi .."May the Warm Winds of Heaven
Blow softly upon your house.
May the Great Spirit
Bless all who enter there.
May your Mocassins
Make happy tracks
in many snows,
And may the Rainbow
Always touch your shoulder ..."

Magic!There's something pretty inspiring about reading this. Great article about an interesting character leading a fascinating lifestyle. I think I envy him.
By the way, you mentioned Michael Covington's friendship with Layton Kor - one of my teen-year heroes. It prompted me to google Layton Kor and I was shocked to discover that he is very ill with kidney disease. See http://laytonkorclimbing.com/

Yikes!I used to live in a tipi during the summer. But I can't imagine what it must be like in the cold and snow.

Re: Yikes!Michael C. claims that it is warm and nice, but I feel like you - so happy to be inside a house. Thanks for visiting.

GreatGreat that this form of living continues, albeit with some mod cons. There's a lot to be said for a civilisation that lasted for thousands of years, and continues. Many Sami people live a similar, though less equiped life.

Re: GreatAgreed, a very interesting way to live... but not practical for people with jobs - it takes too long to get out... but do we need to have jobs? I am one of those super responsible humans, and always felt a responsibility towards community. I feel obligated to work although there are moments I hate it.
Thanks for visiting.
