Very cool.  That is an awesome shelter.  How do you get the bark off in such big pieces? 

Don:
Allen.
 That is cooler the cool.  ;D
How do you keep the bark flat or from curling when you've had a fire going inside?
Also is the bark lashed to the poles?
That will make the perfect shelter for a  hunt.
What size?
Again I love it.

Rick, from about May to August, the bark slips easily off of tulip poplar logs, you can just about cut a log and knock it clean out of the bark with a sledge hammer. If you cut it down one side of the log, it peels right off with very little effort.

 Oh, and nice bark tipi, Mike-very cool.

El Destructo:
