[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 1123243, member: 35183"] For me, the thing that makes the original native tipi was the many poles that were closely spaced giving excellent structural support and stability in high wind. But there seem to be few options for doing the poles better in modern tipis. I don't think the single pole tipis compare at all to the multi pole ones. What is needed is a form of telescoping pole that breaks down to a length that can fit in a sled. Shock corded aluminum tubing with swaged ends perhaps ? And ideally a pass through for the stove chimney that is part of the tripod, not an afterthought. With aluminum poles, it would be possible to have an ozan that clips onto the poles and gravity would hold taut. But these suggestions apply to matters other than how to cut the cloth.... [/QUOTE]
