Photo 3; Friends of mine camping at Magfest which is in Live Oak, Florida . music with bands like Donna and The Buffalo, David Grisman, mixture of music of Grateful dead livestyle bands and Blue Grass. over 30,000 people camping in North Florida for weekend of music. much like the vibe of first Woodstock gathering. impact of the 1960's Flower children has not died. you can see Tipi's And Hipi School buses are still happing at concerts just like Woodstock 1969

This is my Tipi in Photo 5. Above is 20 feet in the inside about the size of small home's living room and over 20 feet tall. The poles stick above to 25 feet. I have use my tipi for over 6 years. It's got lot praise from many people most ask me how long does it take me to set up. about 1 and half. but the none think about the work it takes to take it somewhere or to put it away after i done using it. When i set it up for a weekend fest. it takes the whole weekend just for people to enjoy for a few hours but it's worth it for the smiles. My Tipi should last 10 years with care, repair. and just setting up for special events. The little Nissan Pickup with the White topper is how i transport my Tipi. I get 20 miles per gallon with my RV. Ha ! HA ! . and its only RV sometimes. Can't beat the price either. The poles tie up just like you put a Canoe on top of the truck. the Truck 15 feet long and the poles are 25 feet long. if your careful . they will stick out beyond the bumper 5 feet on each end. just got put red flag and maybe duct tape one those flashing jogger light on the end of the poles and your ready for the road.
