RE: The Teepees of Grasslands National Park
These photos are brilliant... you're so clever! The last photo really gives a great perspective as to how big the teepees are. That's amazing standing room!
I've not considered a teepee before, I don't know if I've ever seen them here to be honest but we have bell tents which are becoming increasingly popular, especially with more organic natured souls. I would quite happily stay in those in the warmer months of the year! ; ) Glamping is becoming more popular too with permanent elevated tent sites available for holidaying, that would be fun and no set up required! :D
I desperately want to move out of the city into the country and I joke around saying I'll end up in a yurt. Again, I could easily live like that through the summer months but not through winter, it would be too cold for my liking!
Thank you!!! Yeah, they were comfortably big. Teepees are scalable, the basic shape works for all different sizes.
I haven't heard the term "bell tent" before, but I've seen something like them around here advertised as a glamping option in various parks. Seems to be a more low profile version of the yurt?
How cold does your winter get, there?
Yeah much bigger than I expected!
Bell tents... yeah I guess they are a smaller scale of a yurt, I've not thought about them like that : )
Where we are it gets down to around the zero mark, if we travel south which we usually do through winter it can get down to minus 6 degrees Celsius. Our summer here at worst gets to around 46 degrees. Between 20 and low 30's is nice!
46!!! Wow. Your climate is a 12 degree shift from what I'm used to!
In parts of Qld this summer some places reached 50 which seems crazy! When I was growing up and it reached 40, kids were sent home from school. It seems to be very much the norm now and they're saying 50 is the new 40. We have high humidity too... and on those days we can easily be sitting at 80% humidity which is most can be most uncomfortable!
If you ever visit, don't come Dec/Jan! ; )
I didn't know humans could survive when it's 50, haha, that's insanity. But still more unimaginable if it's 50 + humidity. It's the high humidity in Ontario that makes the relatively low heat (up to 32) so disagreeable.
It's horrible!! You just sweat and stick to everything!! On those days we're all heading for bodies of water or air conditioning. Most homes have air-con now, we don't however. I prefer to live without it but on extreme heat days the electricity grid can falter with the extra pressures of everyone using their air conditioners. Our house is pretty cool though which is great through summer, not so much through winter :/
Our humidity today was at 62% in the middle of winter, lol.
