Have you ever heard of an Earthbag home? It might seem like it's a pretty complex style of shelter but it's really not. It's pretty self-explanatory.
It's a small home constructed out of bags packed with sand and dirt. This neat video shows you just how one couple built their own earthbag home.
You'll see how in just a few months, this home was built. If you're thinking about living a more off-grid life, this home will make it a lot easier.
As you see the progress they make in building this shelter, you'll want to build your own home too!
Watch and check out how an earth bag house was built from the ground up on the next page.

I feel like it would settle over time and throw everything out of wack

What happens when the bags degrade?
When the bags get old and degrade, you have a mud house. Nice but stupid.
Built our hooch the same way in VN.
Tj Campbell This is kind of cool!
Cool
You stucco the outside with cement and fur out the inside wood and drywall but need to pour the floor first after the plumbing is installed
Ugliest sand bag house I have ever seen
Well as long as those bags hold up.

This is cool, if you watch at the end they even have a Misfit :p
Cool but how long do the bags last? that looks like. A lot of work I have built sand bag bunkers in the Marines and in short order the bags start to rot
