That is the first thing I notice Shannon.

Bummer on the ear there Jamie. I have lots of points like that.

Post by: jamie on March 21, 2010, 07:03:01 am: plenty of room in the wigwam. ;D its actually a longhouse. its about 30' long and 9' tall. there is a smaller 10' radius wigwam just out of the picture that i will be reframing this year and i have to build another wigwam there with reed walls. and i agree the tackle box is a slap in the face.

this pic gives a better idea how big it is. im 5'8"

Post by: venisonburger on March 21, 2010, 03:12:08 pm: That wigwam is killer, they just had a special on public TV here in Michigan(WMNU TV) showing how to build a birch bark wigwam, theres alot of work involved so I have alot of respect for your accomplishment. It's got to make you feel like you can understand the lifestyle of the indians to a small extent. Very impressive Jamie.
