I want to live in a wigwam? Can you buy them in the UK?

Question

Was it Cat Stevens who sang that?

I think there is a company called Toast

they were in a Sunday magazine article about teepees

But I can't find anything about them?

Answer 1

If you can't find such a thing in the UK, try Panther Primitives, a U.S. - based manufacturer. They have a web page which is

www.pantherprimitives.com  and their entire catalog is on line.  My suggestion would be to send for their catalog and sit down with that and peruse the whole thing.  You'll find the widest variety of tentage available from any manufacturer, and the widest variety of suitable camping gear as well.  Panther has provided the tentage for a number of well-made historic movie productions and also is the most popular purveyor of primitive gear suitable for the hobby of re-enacting early fur-trappers rendesvous, the American Revolutionary War, the American Civil War - they've done their research and therefor their products are as authentic to the given period you can find - All the way from mideval era tentage to American Indian teepees to World War Two style tentage.  Give 'em a try.

Answer 3

You can actually buy one in Argos, they are new in the catalogue. 12 people can fit in one.

good luck.

Answer 4

Why don't you make one? You will require twigs and twine.

Answer 5

A wigwam is more like a hut, you know! You may be thinking of a tepee
