I must say, gordon, that is one of the nicest tipis I have seen, fantastic artwork. show some pics of the liner art, it is great. geez...mine looks kinda naked now..
stickbender:
Gordon, that is cool! :o 8) Cracker, thanks for asking what an "Ozan" is. You took the words right off of my finger tips! ;)
Gordon, what do you mean it takes you longer than an hour to set up the Tipi ? Aren't you married? Squaw put up tipi, not man! ::)
Squaw put up tipi, make cook fire, cook food. Clean tipi. You hunt for food, she clean, cook, make leather, clothes, moccasins! An Ozan is for keeping warm during the winter months? You need big winter squaw! ;D In fact, if you're a good hunter, get two, one for each side....... ;D ;D ::) Ah, yes, I can see you now, about three hundred years ago, you coming back from a very successful hunt, ......."Here flapping beak, clean deer, hang deer up, scrape hide, clean turkey, save feathers for me, cook turkey. Oh, me need new moccasins, one of the beads came off. Tell Waddlilng Bear, to bring more fire wood. Now me rest, and smoke pipe. How soon food be ready?" You see Gordon, that is how it was done in the day. ;) Ah yes, the good ol days......before divorce attorneys......" Flapping beak gets the tipi, and Waddling Bear, the horse. You get the dog. Oh, sorry, I forgot you ate it. You can keep one pair of moccasins, the ones with the holes in them, and the breech clout, and leggings, and one coyote robe. Flapping Beak, and Waddling bear will split up all other assets in the tipi. Your bow collection will go for my fees. Now, your Summer squaws, have also filed a claim....... Little Stinging Nettle, and Bucolic hornet, want same as Winter Squaws! I suggest you catch some more horses, and build some more bows, and arrows, to trade for items they want, a couple of horses should cover my fees. Times have changed haven't they? ::) But really nice lodge! 8)

Gordon:
Funny story Wayne, but I'm not sure I understand the point you are trying to make.
stickbender:
The point is the wife sets up the tipi! 8) The Man directs. 8) Then it wouldn't take you over an hour to set up. ;D
Of course back then, the wife usually owned the tipi, so that could make for problems in itself. ;) You don't have anyone to help you set it up? I would think that would be a two person job at least.

Gordon:
Ah, okay. Well we certainly do live in different times. One person can setup a 16 foot tipi by themselves, but it takes a little practice.
