Teepee tents and Yurts have a long background and are ingrained in certain cultures , here we look at the old and the new
Teepee tents have always held a fascination with me, ever since i was just a little kid. I would play cowboys and Indians with my pals. My father had bought me a small teepee tent, nothing fancy I would add, just large enough for 2 people to sit inside, still it was brilliant. We all wanted to be Indians and so have a opportunity in the tent.
Well that's a long time ago and today I am somewhat older, I still have a love of teepees and of camping, I have been on a variety of vacations and festivals using a teepee . They still and definately will continually hold a fascination with me. I feel that this came about from all of the camping that i have done, while I was much younger (around 16 ) I would go camping a good deal. I grew up in a country in which good weather was abundant (it still is )
I went camping out at least one time per month over the weekend then when it was summer break i was in the bush for almost all the time. My home is the united kingdom now and it is a different life. I see teenagers hanging around on street corners and it tends to make me a little sad, back when I was their age I was already driving boats and vehicles, I was visiting camping locations unaccompanied along with my buddies.
I constructed a
teepee tents with my pals, we created the poles our selfs and my mother produced the covering with canvas we made it from a book which I found in the small college library, it took me and my pals 30 days to make it, Every single weekend we would undoubtedly gather and work on the rods, while my mother made the covering. it wasn't quite waterproof but that was ok we'd created it!
The tent is now long since gone, just a recollection, I have actually lost contact with the friends which I grew up with like me they've moved to some other part of the world, settled down and have got families I am certain . It is not the actual camping tent this is important here. It's the point that we all created it our selves, it was that started out my personal very long quest to where I'm right now, it taught me to be self-sufficient, to possess courage and ambition and most importantly above all it taught me the power of having goals.
teepee are still with me no , I have not made one for a long time, I rent them now when I want to go camping. they still cause me to feel feel the same as I did those years ago. While I am camping out I am an adventurer, a traveller and a seeker of fun and lost treasure. All of the concerns of the world are gone and I am at peace with nature. I've got a tiny little girl now and I hope that one day soon I will take her camping, we will hire a teepee and go on a journey - Hopefully it's going to teach her the same things that it taught me.
