Canadian Dirtbags

When you own that piece of land that you return to occasionally. You may wish to construct an off grid dwelling. This is the place to discuss different construction methods, materials, and types. Think straw bale, earth ship, yurt, etc..

Canadian Dirtbags

Post by stuartcnz »

Canadian Dirtbags is a blog by a Canadian couple that I have been following for some time now. In their latest installment, it appears that they have now completed the structure of their dirtbag home, and have their rocket mass stove up and running.

I see they are using earth bag techniques, something I recently discovered and really like the idea of.

Pity I've started a container house :(

Once in a while, I go back through the past...and revisited this today. Last post here was 2015. Last post from them was in 2017. Curious how they are doing now and if their experiment continues....?
