KdawgCrazy Outdoors's video: How to Weather Proof a Tarp Teepee - Teepee Winter Campout Part 2

In this video I show how to easily cover the top of the teepee (when not using a fire inside) with a 55 gallon garbage bag to weather proof your teepee from heavy rain or snow or just to hold in heat while using a propane tent heater. But remember to always allow adequate air flow to feed the heater and airflow out of an elevated vent towards the top of the shelter to prevent carbon monoxide build up. Next, I show how to install a ceiling in the teepee that serves to close off the unused gap inside the top of your teepee to conserve heat. It can also be used as a gear loft or rain catch. To stake down the teepee in snow I show how to make some easy Deadman Anchors for when the ground is frozen and you have plenty of snow. ****WARNING: Always carry a carbon monoxide detector just in case the teepees ventilation or airflow is compromised. NEVER close your door all the way and never block the top vent while using fire in the tipi because you cut off the airflow to your fire and deadly gasses could build up in the teepee. Please do your research before attempting to heat a shelter. Whether it's fire or propane they can be deadly if not well ventilated.**** This teepee is designed as a bare bones backpacking shelter. I do a lot of 15 to 20 miles hikes and wanted to try out a large teepee setup that was still practical for my uses. This version weights in at 3 lbs. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to Heat a Tarp Teepee Using the G2- 5" Folding Firebox Stove - Teepee Winter Campout Part 3 https://youtu.be/9ElFMl-y5IY ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you want to make this Teepee check out my video " How to make a DIY Tarp Teepee - Teepee Winter Campout Part 1" https://youtu.be/cd3Y9hfAEgc Easy step by step instructions on how to build an affordable teepee from a $25 (10x20 ft.) Ozark Trails Wal-Mart camo tarp. After spending the last couple winters cold and cramped in tarps and tents I decided to try a heated Teepee. Teepees are huge and spacious and designed to be used with a small fire in the middle or in my case a small wood stove, the G2-5" Folding Firebox Stove which makes it the perfect 4 season camping/backpacking shelter. Stay tuned for more Teepee winter campout videos as I will be using this shelter a lot this winter for its spacious design and heated luxury. Peace out! As always...Thank you very much for watching.
