Tepee update

After spending sometime in the shelter last night, staring into the fire and finishing my second Guinness a vision came to me. I needed to destroy this shelter and build a second one. So that is what I'm doing today. I employed my children to take down the first one, neatly stacking the wood against the fence for later use. I took to the forest to harvest some 12 foot birch poles for the new tepee. The woods behind my house are thick with them, so finding decent trees was easy. After asking each tree permission for use of its trunk for my shelter I cut them down. I also thanked each tree for the sacrifice. So construction is under way.
