That is the first thing I notice Shannon.

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

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"

Jamie, it looks like you're living the life man! Bummer about the ear on a good looking point.

You are the abo-man!! Really nice abo setup. I know a lot of work went into it.  Too bad about the broken ear, but it is still a very nice point.  I'm sure the replacement is curing in the fire.  The whole thing is very,  very impressive.

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.

Very impressive setup jamie!  Sorry about the point, but like you said, it looks like a great day anyway.
