This is in case you don't recognize it, This is a teepee. Now, this is not a toy. Some plaything for kids out in somebody's backyard. But this is a man's home. This belongs to James Martin. He's an interesting fella. An employee at Aberdeen Proving Ground and a karate instructor. And he lives here on this farm and Harford County. Without all of the conveniences that you and I have become accustomed to, because in his teepee, he doesn't have things like indoor plumbing. He doesn't have a telephone or a stove or a refrigerator or radio or TV. And he gets along very well without all of those modern conveniences. Right up like a tie and punch this. Your second karate studio is run by 36 year old James Martin. James holds a black belt and he teaches his classes in the evening. During the day, he works at the Aberdeen Proving Ground. James is also in the National Guard. He enjoys cooking, loves classical music, and holds the seasons tickets to the opera. And when James Martin goes home after a busy day, James goes home to his comfortable little teepee. James located his TV on the rolling Harford County Land of Farmer and Snodgrass. James donates only $25 a month to the upkeep of the farm. That's a lot less than you or I pay for rent. And this is the third farm upon which James has pitched his teepee. James, why do you choose to live in a teepee? I save money for one. First and most important. And second is I love the outdoors, and I find that I have no need to throw money away into a rooming house or a hotel room. I just love the outdoors, basically. And it's peaceful and it's quiet.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114013/file/216750#t=121.61,225.79"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114013/file/216750/transcript/61536/annotation/2","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"And here I can come and think. I can come here. I can come here and relax. I don't have to hear a lot of sounds of automobiles. And I like being away from people. Not that I'm an anti-socialist or anything. It's just that I like living by myself. When you look inside this replica of a Sioux Indian teepee, you'll see that James lives a very simple, uncluttered life. He has a cooler water, a storage locker, bedroll, and a simple chair. James has two possessions and none of the conveniences he has to chop and store wood for his stove. It's his only source of heat for light. He uses candles or a lantern if he wants to read. His easy chair is of a traditional Sioux design. James really has no conveniences. Now you don't have things that we've all become accustomed to, like basic things like indoor plumbing and refrigerators and stoves and radio and TV. You don't have any of that. How do you get by without it? Well, being a vegetarian, I don't have to store meat and basic reason people use fridge rate as far as me. And then in the summertime, I eat a lot of fruits and I just go to grocery store and buy my fruit and eat it. And I don't need to store it because I don't buy that much. Most people have become accustomed to getting up in the morning and taking a nice long hot shower and then going in and getting something out of the refrigerator and cooking breakfast. How do you get along without those conveniences? Well, I have a little stove like often during the colder months. I use the wood burning stove to cook on showers or showers go. I belong to the athletic club in Bel Air.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114013/file/216750#t=226.0,322.09"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114013/file/216750/transcript/61536/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Take showers there. And where I work, there's a shower facilities at the gymnasium here. I don't have no electrical facilities. I could have an extension cord out to the house and plug in a TV set or a stereo. But I don't need that. I don't need it. How long have you lived in the unconventional house? About eight years and maybe ten. What? Besides the teepee? I've lived in campers, trucks, camper trucks, and I've converted into campers. Would you recommend this lifestyle? Living in a teepee to anybody? I have people come up to me and say, Boy, I would really like to live like you do. I said, Well, why don't you? Oh, I can't do that. Sure you can. But they're afraid to leave their stereos and their radios and all these other conveniences. One of them said to me, When you wait, where am I going to take my girl at night? I said, What makes you think she won't like a TV? Do we know who invented the teepee? Teepee has been around for maybe, perhaps thousands of years. They were the Indians were using teepees before they had horses. And there's no way of knowing where or how far they've gone back. Teepees were used by the Plains Indians of the West. They were the Sioux, the Cheyenne, the Blackfoot and the crow. The teepee was designed to be functionally in tune with the lifestyle of the tribes. The Indians needed strong, lightweight, movable shelters in order to follow the migration of the buffalo. The teepees were covered with hides. Teepees are conical with an oval base. The Indians believed it was unnatural to live in square dwellings. This teepee is much more sophisticated than I thought TVs were. It's quite ingenious the way it's designed.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114013/file/216750#t=322.42,418.81"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114013/file/216750/transcript/61536/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"This is a 16 foot teepee, and it's made of Akron and cotton canvas. The cover is Akron. Cotton. The liner inside is cotton. This one is a little bit more expensive, but it'll last much longer. This one cost me about $260. The teepees is made in two different parts. It's got a cover. But you see here it's a cover. And inside it's got a liner that from the ground up is six foot high. You notice the outside of the teeth is a few inches off the ground that allows the air to come underneath. But once the air gets underneath, it hits the liner and then the air is forced up. So if you have an open fire in a TV, that air draws the smoke up to prevent the wind from forcing the smoke back down. Each teepee has a set of smoke flaps. The flaps are attached to poles. They can be trimmed like seals or like the color of a coat. When it rains, the water falling into the teepee is caught by a half sheet. The smoke hole is off center toward the back. The sheet extends far enough forward to catch the rain and channel it between the liner and the cover. In cold weather. The liner can be stuffed with leaves to provide some insulation. TPI is fine in the summer, but what about the winter? Once you're inside the TV, of course you don't have that. You don't have that cold air hitting you and you've got the fire going, which makes it nice. But what's really nice is when you park away from the taping and you have to walk to it and you see the snow coming down and you see the tape through the snow. To me, that's the most beautiful sight there is.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114013/file/216750#t=419.38,507.57"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114013/file/216750/transcript/61536/annotation/5","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"That is watching the moon at night behind the tape in a silhouette. That's when it's most courteous and listening. Only the thing you could hear in the winter time as your feet on the snow, walking up to the teepee, that's all you can hear. And maybe the creek of water going through the creek. And to me, that's the most, most solitude time with as much solitude as you get, which is a lot more, I think, than most people get. It's things like that. You could start just wanting to climb the walls after a while. I mean, you know, you can overdose on solitude, can't you, really? Well, it's not that solid. It's not that remote. At first it was a little difficult air, but you accustom yourself to it. I wanted to learn how to live without a lot of nervous energy. And in order to do that, one has the training so people don't know what it's like to sit down and relax. They find that soon as they start doing something that's active, they've got to light a cigaret or they've got to go and have a drink of alcohol of some sort or both at the same time. One thing I love is peace and quiet. I don't like loud blaring radios, can't stand it, don't like noises. And because to me, if it unbalances the way things are to flow. Will be back in a minute.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114013/file/216750#t=508.02,587.43"}]},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114013/file/216750/transcript/61536","type":"AnnotationPage","label":{"en":["English [Transcript]"]},"items":[{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/114013/file/216750/transcript/61536/annotation/6","type":"Annotation","motivation":"subtitling","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"https://d9jk7wjtjpu5g.cloudfront.net/file_transcripts/associated_files/000/061/536/original/open-uri20231116-60075-rd4s4f?1700178433","format":"text/vtt","language":"en"},"target":"https://d9jk7wjtjpu5g.cloudfront.net/file_transcripts/associated_files/000/061/536/original/open-uri20231116-60075-rd4s4f?1700178433"}]}]}]}
