How about a Rocket Stove Sauna: http://donkey32.proboards.com/index.cgi ... thread=103

This was quite the gathering back in 09..they came from South America to Canada...

Real tipi camping...after a 2 day drive close to Sedona...

The cheap 0 deg. walmart bag I have doesn't keep my feet warm in 40 deg weather....Down in Sedona Az. for 3 weeks in May a couple of yrs ago.. sleeping in a tent or a tipi...Had a foam pad to sleep on and a second sleeping bag to throw over me...

It is about ready for the skin... For a tandem I would think the front seat would go between the 3rd and 4th frame from the bow, and the back seat between the last 2 frames that would give about 4 feet between seats..... The gunwales seem rather ridged , I wonder if I should install a thwart.

Using some particle board for a mock-up- template designing the stern and bow pcs... The bow.. The stern..

Wow...do I detect an invite to the noth.. :)

Yea that is what I will do..using 8' cedar 2x4s scarfed together for the stringers does set a length limit... Figuring out how to position the gunwale stringer took some time..I will use an 1 1/2'' pc. and fold the fabric over to the inside and stapel it..then screw on an inside trim pc. to...
